there is only one wire coming out of the solenoid. there are two wires below it coming out of the pressure switch. run the wire to the single wire out of the solenoid

disconnect your battery for 5 - 10 minutes to reset your ecu. Reconnect battery and see if CEL comes back on. If it does start by replacing the pressure switch, if problem still persist then replace solenoid.
