If the reading is less than 20 ohms than it’s probably melted. If no resistance is found, than you know that the solenoid is bad, and that it is broken. You should be looking for 20-30 ohms of resistance. You can test the solenoids with an OHM meter. Most of the problems that occur with a 6T45 shift solenoid are caused by the coil wire going bad in some way. In this situation the transitional will remain a neutral regardless of what gear you put it in. Stuck in Neutral– If a shift solenoid has failed entirely, that it’s entirely possible that the transmission will not work at all.Or, to put it another way, it’s can’t quite settle on the right gear. It also may act like it is trying to “find the right gear”. Inconsistent Shifting– Often when a shift solenoid goes bad in the 6T45E, it’ll cause a lot of erratic shift behavior.Furthermore, if there seems to be a lot of time between when the transmission exits one gear and enters another, than it’s a pretty good indication of a bad shift solenoid. Delay Going in Gear/ Between Gears– If there is a long pause between gear selection and engagement, it can often be attributed to a faulty shift solenoid.To put it simply, it is stuck doing what it was doing when the solenoid failed. This is due to the fact that the transmission fluid cannot be rerouted to the part of the transmission that would be making the next move. Failure to Downshift– The 6T45E will often fail to downshift if one or more of the shift solenoids are stuck open or closed.Here are the main symptoms of a bad Equinox shift solenoid. When one of them goes bad, it can adversely affect the performance of the transmission. It uses shift solenoids to accomplish this. Many of the problems that occur with this transmission can be attributed to the fact that it is fully controlled by the engines computer. That doesn’t mean that if you are using your Equinox to tow, or some other heavy use application that you should never change it though. That means that as long as it is operated under normal conditions, it will not require any transmission fluid change. It is considered to be a fill for life transmission. We’ll line out some of the more common problems with it below. The 6T45 is a relatively trouble-free transmission. They could be manufactured both stateside and in Korea. The 2012 Equinox was equipped with six speed automatic transmissions. It sounds terrible though, almost like someone dumped a bucket of bolts into the crank case.
Some indicators of this problem include:Ĭhattering on Startup– The 2012 Equinox is well known for a chatter on startup. So, if you are using this page to help you evaluate whether or not to get an Equinox, the six cylinder engine seems to be immune to the oil consumption issues. Oil Consumption– This is a relatively well known problem with the 4 cylinder engine.
The number engine problem for this model year is aggressive oil consumption in the six cylinder version. For the most part, they were fairly reliable motors. The LAF I4 was rated at 182hp and the LF1/LFW was rated at 264hp. They were the direct injected Ecotec 2.4L LAF I4 and the 3.0 LF1/LFW V6 engines. The 2012 Chevy Equinox was available with two engines. There’s a link below you can click to see all 277 complaints. This is a great way to see what issues people are having with this year of Equinox. Anytime someone makes a complaint to them it is recorded and categorized. Here’s a pie chart of the most common issues with the 2012 NHTSA. It sounds rough, and will normally only do it for about 10 to 15 seconds after startup. Most of the time, when taken to the dealer, an entire engine rebuild or replace is how they solve the problem.Ĭhattering on Startup – One of the most common issues with this model year is a chattering sound when trying to fire up the engine.
