testing transmission solenoids

I have been searching for a thread that goes into detail on how to test the three solenoids inside the aw4 transmission. I believe it told how to ohm out the solenoids at the grey connector by the trans dipstick tube. Anybody know where I can find the thread?

Pm me your email address and I'll reply back with the AW4 troubleshooting manual.

Yeah, its the grey female 7 pin connector by the trans dipstick. The row of 4 pins goes to the (3) solenoids. The center pin in the row of 3 is ground from the TCU. Good solenoids should show 12-18 ohms. The male connector goes to the TCU.

PM sent. I have had a delayed shift and slipping between first and second gear. Recently I found that if I shift my Cherokee manually that its not delayed and doesn't slip near as bad.
