VOLKSWAGEN 09A/JF506E
NO UP-SHIFT COLD ONLY

COMPLAINT: Before or after an overhaul, a Volkswagen equipped with the JF506E Transmission may
exhibit a complaint of no up-shift at all when cold. Vehicle takes off in 1st gear and stays in
first gear until vehicle warms up for a little bit.

CAUSE: One cause may be a faulty 2-4 Brake Solenoid N283 or 2-4 Brake Timing Solenoid N282.
The solenoid valves have a tendency to stick or hang up when cold. Refer to the diagram in
Figure 1 for Solenoid locations for the 2-4 Brake Solenoid N283 and 2-4 Brake Timing
Solenoid N282.

CORRECTION: Replace the 2-4 Brake Solenoid N283 and the 2-4 Brake Timing Solenoid N282.

NOTE: There has been some confusion about the internal wire colors for the Volkswagen
version of the JF506E. We have included internal wire colors and their position within the
internal harness connector to assist the technician in assembly and reduce the possibility of
cross connecting wires. Please refer to the diagram in Figure 2 for the internal harness wire
and connector colors.
