Fail Safe Solenoid Valve: Testing and Inspection
Inhibitor Solenoid Test
1. Remove the air cleaner assembly and the intake air duct.
2. Disconnect the solenoid harness connector.
3. Measure the inhibitor solenoid resistance between solenoid harness connector terminal No. 5 and body ground.
Standard: 11.7-21.0 Ohms
4. If the resistance is out of standard, check for open or short in the solenoid harness. If the wire is OK, replace the inhibitor solenoid.
5. Connect a jumper wire from the battery positive terminal to solenoid harness connector terminal No. 5, and connect another jumper wire from the
battery negative terminal to body ground. A clicking sound should be heard.
6. If no sound is heard, replace the inhibitor solenoid.
