I have a 2011 Mazda cx9 awd.
I need to change shift solenoid a (SSA). I had a garage put it on a snap-on scanner and it gave a shift solenoid a code. I'm attaching that image too. The manuals, garages, online pics all say that the valve body which holds the solenoids should be a TF 81. It is NOT. The pictures do not match and after 2 weeks of searching no one can tell me what I have. I'm looking for anyone who can tell me what type of valve body or transmission I have based on the pics I'm adding.
The manuals keep showing me the same thing for a range of years but mine doesn't match any of them.
If you don't know exactly what type this valve body is can someone point me to the position of SSA. I bought a solenoid a from rock auto because local places here in NB couldn't find it and it is not the right one altho it's close. My best guess is that it's the solenoid with the green connector. I removed it (see pic, the purchased one is next to it) and it matches the one I bought except the bracket is not the same and gets in the way of plugging the new one in.
Attaching pics of scan, solenoids and valve body where solenoids are and a pic from the manual so you can see they do not match.
Thanks for any help you can give Shift solenoid a from rock auto on left. Right one taken out of my vehicle Snap-on scan This is what the mechanics and manuals say I should have but mine has a void on the bottom right and doesn't have the circular plug on the left Valve body in my vehicle Valve body and solenoids view from bottom
