RE: what is shift solenoid "B"?
I'd check out your TPS first. The TPS has been known to cause shifting issues and/or set transmission related trouble codes.
As far as the solenoid, I believe it's the 2-3 solenoid. I'm not sure where it's located though. I'm not very familiar with the 46RE.

RE: what is shift solenoid "B"?
May be a cascading code (TPS acting up causing a problem with shift solenoid and throwing 2 codes I would check TPS first) I had a plug wire that burned through and was arcing on the motor, my truck ran like crap (7 cylinders) and threw 2 codes---one was a misfire on the cylinder and the other was TCC torque converter clutch....well it turned out that when the truck wasnt running right it made the TCC lock and unlock causing the code

RE: what is shift solenoid "B"?
Thanks for the responses. I just wanted to give an update. I changed my tps last night. It was by necessity.
I noticed my truck was accelerating on the interstate without any throttle input from me. When I got to my exit, I figured I'd be able to overpower the engine by standing on the brakes hard. I was wrong. As I approached the end of the exit ramp, I realized I wasn't going to be able to stop. Blue smoke was pouring from my front wheel wells as I fought to hold back my 318 at full throttle. 10 mph was as close to stopping as I was going to get, so I jammed the transmission in park and immediately shut-off the engine. I was able to avoid the tractor-trailer rig that was stopped in front of me, but the terrible grinding noise from my freshly rebuilt transmission is still haunting me. I'd never seen brakes put off so much smoke before.
After changing out my tps, there doesn't seem to be any other damages. In hindsight, I should have chosen neutral instead of park. What can I say. I paniced.
I had no idea that a tps could fail in this manner. Please be advised.
