This document is a wiring/connector pinout diagram for connector C168 (Neutral) used on the Ford AX4S/AX4N automatic transaxle. The top portion shows a face view of the 10-cavity connector with pins 1–4 across the top row, pins 5–8 in the middle row, and pins 9–10 at the bottom; pin 4 is shown filled (not used). Callout lines label each pin with its circuit number and wire color code: 237 (O/Y), 361 (R), 480 (P/Y), 923 (O/BK), 315 (P/O), 359 (GY/R), 925 (W/Y), 361 (R), and 971 (PK/BK). Below the diagram, a table lists each pin, its circuit number/wire color, and circuit function: Shift Solenoid #1 (pin 1), Vehicle Power (pins 2 and 7), Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid (pin 3), Not Used (pin 4), Transmission Fluid Temperature Input (pin 5), Shift Solenoid #2 (pin 6), Shift Solenoid #3 (pin 8), Signal Return (pin 9), and Electronic Pressure Control Solenoid (pin 10). A reader can use this to identify wires at the transaxle harness connector for diagnosing shift solenoids, torque converter clutch, EPC solenoid, and transmission fluid temperature sensor circuits.
