Overview
This transmission is a 10-speed electronically controlled transmission which uses planetary gears. Gear selection is achieved by the electronic control of transmission fluid flow to
operate various internal clutches.
The main control consists of a valve body assembly with solenoids inside the transmission and is controlled by a PCM or a TCM with 3.5L EcoBoost and 3.0L Power Stroke Diesel
engines. The PCM or TCM operates the electrical components to provide refined engagement feel, shift feel, and shift scheduling.
Engine power reaches the transmission by a torque converter with an integral clutch. The 10 forward gears and one reverse gear are obtained from 4 planetary gearsets.
This automatic transmission is a 10-speed electronically controlled transmission with a main control valve body unit with 8 solenoids and a torque converter. Gear selection is achieved
by the control of transmission fluid to operate various internal clutches. The PCM or TCM operates the electrical components and provides control of gear selection, shift pressure and
torque converter slip.

Item Description
1 Transmission part number
2 Two-dimensional matrix barcode
When servicing the transmission, use the transmission identification tag located on the right side of the transmission case.
Item Description
1 Two-digit transmission model code
2 Thirteen-digit solenoid body strategy
3 Twelve-digit solenoid body identification
4 Eleven-digit transmission unique running number
5 Two-dimensional matrix barcode with TRID transmission characterization data
The solenoid body strategy is a file programmed into the PCM or the TCM with 3.5L EcoBoost and 3.0L Power Stroke Diesel engines to control the shift, LPC and TCC solenoids to
improve shift quality. The solenoid body tag on the transmission case contains the 13-digit solenoid body strategy and the 12-digit solenoid body identification.
Item Description
1 Thirteen-digit solenoid body strategy
2 Twelve-digit solenoid body identification
Anytime a new main control is installed, a new solenoid body strategy file is downloaded into the PCM or the TCM with 3.5L EcoBoost and 3.0L Power Stroke Diesel engines using the
scan tool. A replacement solenoid body tag is supplied with the new solenoid body which contains the 13-digit solenoid body strategy and the 12-digit solenoid body identification. The
new tag is placed over the original solenoid body tag.

If the solenoid body strategy etched on the main control does not match what the scan tool displays, the solenoid body strategy must be downloaded into the PCM or the TCM with 3.5L
EcoBoost and 3.0L Power Stroke Diesel engines or harsh shifts will result.
Item Description
1 CIDAS (casting integrated direct acting solenoid)
2 VFS (variable force solenoids)
3 Band number
The solenoids are calibrated from the factory and are not all the same. There are 2 types of VFS (variable force solenoids), normally high and normally low solenoids. The CIDASs are
all normally low solenoids. The solenoids can be replaced separately, but only with the same type of solenoid. The replacement solenoid band number must match the band number of
the solenoid being replaced. The band number is printed on the solenoids in the location shown and will be a 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5.
