hi everyone,i have a 03 Acura TL-S the engine light suddenly appeared on my dash then i went to autozone to get it check and here are the following that showed up.
1. Low transmission fluid level: which is the fluid is in the right level.
2. Poor electrical connection: don't know where to check or where to begin.
3. Failed TCC solenoid: which is i don't know where exactly its located. Can you please help me where exactly can i find this TCC solenoid?

and finally, im planning to change the transmission fluid sometime next week..what is the best transmission fluid i should use? Is there any advice that you can tell me before i start fixing it? this is actually my 1st time owning an acura tl and i just want to make sure that before i do something with it, just want to make sure i am doing it right.Your guidance regarding this matter will be gladly appreciated. Thanks!

use Honda `DW-1` atf from honda dealer or some import car parts stores
get 4 qts and drain the system once, refill exactly- will be 3 to 3.4 qts
Learn how to ck fluid by 15 minutes warm freeway drive- `between the bottem 2 dots` on stick- engine off in Park

Open hood and look down at trans for `bolt heads painted blue` on things attached to trans and trans main thru bolts,,blue paint on bolt heads,,cant miss them if there
