A fair statement....
I was unable to diagnose the issue myself (very cold weather and fresh out of a surgery with lots of restrictions) so I brought it to both the dealer and a transmission shop. I think you and I went back and forth about this back in February, now that I think about it.
I personally did not disconnect the connector -- however I did ask the Toyota Tech to take a look and tell me what he saw (they were insisting that the whole transmission was toast and all they could do was replace it as a unit - no parts, no solenoid, just all or nothing.) He reported back that there was some mild corrosion on the pins. When I went to pick up the vehicle and bring it home and figure out what to do next, I realized that the problem was gone and has not resurfaced in over 7 months of regular use.
Not knowing what (if anything) the dealer did when inspecting the plug, that leaves me wanting to properly treat the connection to prevent any further corrosion and excitement.
