Shift Solenoid: Testing and Inspection
Shift Solenoid Valve Test
1. Connect the HDS to the DLC (A).
2. Select Shift Solenoid A, B, C, and D Test in Miscellaneous Test Menu on the HDS.
NOTE: If the HDS does not communicate with the PCM, troubleshoot the DLC circuit.
3. Check that the shift solenoid valve A, B, C, and D operate with the HDS. A clicking sound should be heard.
^
If a clicking sound is heard, the valves are OK. The test is complete, disconnect the HDS.
^
If no clicking sound is heard, go to step 4, and test the solenoid valve.
4. Raise the vehicle on a lift, or apply the parking brake, block both rear wheels, and raise the front of the vehicle. Make sure it is securely supported.
5. Remove the splash shield.
6. Disconnect the shift solenoid harness connector.
7. Measure shift solenoid valve resistance between shift solenoid harness connector terminals below and body ground:
^
No. 1: shift solenoid valve C
^
No. 2: shift solenoid valve B
^
No. 5: shift solenoid valve A
^
No. 8: shift solenoid valve D
Standard: 12 - 25 ohms
^
If the resistance is within the standard, go to step 8 and check solenoid valve for a clicking sound.
^
If the resistance is out of standard, go to step 9.
8. Connect a jumper wire from the battery positive terminal to each shift solenoid harness connector terminals individually. A clicking sound should
be heard.
^
If a clicking sound is heard, the valves are OK. The test is complete, connect the connector.
^
If no clicking sound is heard, go to step 9 and test shift solenoid valves.
9. Remove the drain plug (A), and drain the automatic transmission fluid (ATF).
