see picture for possible causes which can be a TCM or wiring issue we have no pictures of that solenoid as it is inside the transmission which a transmission guy should really look at this. there are two different transmissions for this which one is a CVT transmission and has not been out, but only a few years so a lot of transmission guys are not to familiar with it. it may be a harness /connection problem as well especially as other transmission is doing the same thing as first one did.
