A solenoid is an essential component in the automotive industry. It is a coil of wire that, when electric current passes through it, generates a magnetic field. This magnetic field can be used to generate linear motion with the help of a metal rod nested inside the coil, which is known as the plunger.
Automobiles typically use solenoids in starters and transmission systems. In a car’s starter motor, the solenoid acts as a type of electric relay. When the ignition key is turned, a small electric current is sent to the solenoid which then engages a larger electric current that starts the engine. Similarly, in automatic transmissions, solenoids control the flow of fluid in the transmission, determining the gears of operation.
Without a functioning solenoid, your vehicle may experience a range of issues, including failing to start or having difficulty changing gears.
