Throttle Valve Solenoid: Testing and Inspection
1. Disconnect the linear solenoid connector.
2. Measure the resistance between the No. 1 and the No. 2 terminals.
STANDARD: About 5.0 ohms
3. If the resistance is out of specification, replace the linear solenoid assembly.
4. Connect the No. 1 terminal of the connector to the battery positive terminal and the No. 2 terminal to the battery negative terminal. A clicking
sound should be heard.
5. If a clicking sound is not heard, remove the linear solenoid assembly.
6. Check the linear solenoid fluid passage for dust or dirt.
7. Connect the No. 1 terminal of the connector to the battery positive terminal and the No. 2 terminal to the battery negative terminal. Make sure that
the valve moves.
8. Disconnect the negative battery terminal and make sure the valve releases. You can see valve movement through the fluid passage in the mounting
surface of the linear solenoid assembly.
9. If the valve binds or moves sluggishly or if the linear solenoid does not operate, replace the linear solenoid assembly.
