Pressure Regulating Solenoid: Testing and Inspection
Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Valve A Test
A/T Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Valve A Test
1. Connect the HDS to the DLC (A).
2. Select Clutch Pressure Control (Linear) Solenoid A in Miscellaneous Test Menu on the HDS.
3. Test the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A with the HDS.
4. Follow instructions indicated on the HDS by the test result. If the HDS has not determined the cause of the failure, remove A/T clutch pressure
control solenoid valve A and test.
5. Remove the air cleaner housing.
6. Disconnect the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A connector.
7. Measure A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A resistance at the solenoid valve A terminal.
Standard: 3 - 10 Ohms
8. If the resistance is out of standard, replace A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A.
9. Connect the battery positive terminal to the No. 1 terminal of the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A connector, and connect the battery
negative terminal to the No. 2 terminal. A clicking sound should be heard.
10. If no sound is heard, remove A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A.
11. Check the fluid passage of the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve for dust or dirt.
12. Connect the No. 1 terminal of the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A 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 valve moves.
13. Disconnect one of the battery terminals, and check valve movement.
NOTE: You can see valve movement through the fluid passage in the mounting surface of the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A body.
