Testing shift solenoids with XTOOL A30M / Find Shift Solenoid Issues

I'm testing shift solenoids with the XTOOL A30M. This can be used to identify shift solenoid issues in a transmission not shifting correctly or a transmission not shifting well. A defective shift solenoid usually comes with symptoms that affect the operation of the transmission. A bidirectional aka active test aka actuation test, can be a quick first step without the need for any disassembly.

Nice video as usual, I'm really liking this scan tool.

[@muhindojehoiadapatience4455]

Tjanks for the information bro, can this A30 work with a laptop ??

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

To the best of my knowledge it only works with mobile Android or IOS devices. The AnyScan app is not available on windows. It will work on tablets though if your want is a bigger screen.

[@daviderhahon]

I think having ATF leaks could also cause these symptoms.

[@abdul-kabiralegbe5660]

I suppose one's experience of phone/tablet based tools like this may vary with the device's specs especially RAM.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Great point. I agree.

Honda has historically bad transmissions, your 2017 Accord isnt experiencing any transmission issues, correct? I noticed you had check engine light flashing at 0:06

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

No transmission issues whatsoever. That flashing CEL clip was an excerpt from over a year ago. Had a temporary flashing CEL rights after using CRC intake valve cleaner. CEL and all the other warning lights went away without a reset.
