Clutch Control Solenoid Valve: Testing and Inspection
CVT Start Clutch Pressure Control Valve Solenoid Test
CVT Start Clutch Pressure Control Valve Solenoid Test
1. Remove the air cleaner assembly and the intake air duct.
2. Disconnect the solenoid harness connector.
3. Measure the CVT start clutch pressure control valve solenoid resistance between solenoid harness connector terminals No. 4 and No. 8.
Standard: 3.8-6.8 Ohms
4. If the resistance is out of standard, check for open or short in the solenoid harness. If the wires are OK, replace the CVT start clutch pressure
control valve.
5. Connect a jumper wire from the battery positive terminal to solenoid harness connector terminal No. 4, and connect another jumper wire from the
battery negative terminal to terminal No. 8. A clicking sound should be heard.
6. If no sound is heard, remove the CVT start clutch pressure control valve, and clean it, then recheck. Replace the CVT start clutch pressure control
valve if a problem recurs.
