Pressure Regulating Solenoid: Testing and Inspection
A/T Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Valves A and B Test
1. Disconnect the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves A and B 2P connectors.
2. Measure the resistance of the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves A and B between the No.1 and No.2 terminals of each connector.
Specification: About 5.0 Ohms
3. If the resistance of either A/T clutch pressure control solenoid is out of specs, replace the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves A and B.
4. Connect the No.1 terminal of the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A (and B) to the battery positive terminal, and connect the No.2
terminal to the battery negative terminal. A clicking sound should be heard.
5. If not, remove the AT clutch pressure control solenoid valves A and B.
6. Check the fluid passage of the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves for dust and dirt.
7. Connect the No.1 terminal of the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves A and B to the battery positive terminal, and connect the No.2
terminal to the battery negative terminal. Make sure the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves A (A) and B (B) move.
8. Disconnect one of the battery terminals and check valve movement.
Note: You can see the valve movement through the fluid passage in the mounting surface of the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves A and B
body (C).
9. If either valve binds, or moves sluggishly, or if the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid does not operate, replace the A/T clutch pressure control
solenoid valves A and B.
