More than one. Each solenoid controls a hydraulic circuit. However the various gears require more than one circuit to operate.
In fourth gear three solenoids are on two are off. However, there are also other valves inside the valve body that could be the issue.

These are the hydraulic diagrams for the 2.7 automatic.

What is the problem you are having?
