TCM code 1214 Sol Valve Relay contact open
With the code I listed above where is the Sol valve Relay Contact or coil that indicates and open situation? Can I resolve this myself relatively easily? Thanks Mike








Here is the circuit board that you will be soldering on:

That is an UN-TOUCHED (as it came out of the case) GM EBTCM circuit board. You can see some of the solder joints that look nasty. (IMHO).

That said,, I try to stay away from 100% battery tender on a stored car. All you really need to do is fully charge the battery, disconnect it. You can store the battery inside the basement out of the cold. Every so often, check the battery charge and slow charge as necessary. The OWNERS MANUAL even states this for long term storage.
If you keep the battery in the car (NO TENDER/CHARGER) the longest that it will last is about 2 months before its way under voltage. I've gone as long as 37 days and when I returned from an extended business trip, she started right up.
Sure the battery was low BUT, not low enough to be an issue.YES.... Low battery or a WEAK battery will set off all sorts of random and low voltage errors and warnings. With a very weak battery it will crank and run the engine BUT,, during the HIGH AMP initial hit starter usage, voltage can and will drop as low as 8-9 VDC. As the engine turns over and catches, battery output voltage will raise and come above the 9 VDC minimum and everything is normal. (SORT OF)

By the way I did see two History codes AO LDCM 2283 2284 and A1 RDCM U1064. They cleared with reset but I see they had to do with a low Battery Issue. But it was in the past. New Battery now and fully charged. I do drive it maybe every few weeks when the weather permits. Any thoughts about these two codes
