February 25, 20206 yr I need help When I drive in 4th gear on freeway and I punch it. The rpms go high and it does not kick down into 3rd gear it trys to go in to 2nd but not 3rd. I think it's a solenoid but which one

February 25, 20206 yr If by RPMs 2nd gear is allowed then the TCU will put it in second gear. If you go fast enough and 2nd is not possible anymore by RPMs then TCU will put it in third. But as far as I remember the 4eat will do about 75 miles/h in 2nd max (somewhat depending on engine type). After it finished accelerating through 2nd will it go into 3rd or 4th? Or you probably already stopped kicking down as you will be speeding already.

Yes it does shift through all the gears just won't kick down into 3rd from 4th when you punch it
February 25, 20206 yr "when you punch it", what if you roll gently into the throttle? It's completely normal for an electronically controlled transmission to skip from 4th to 2nd in necessary situations.
