Testing
1. Disconnect the 8-pin harness connector from the solenoid.
2. Measure the resistance of the linear shift control solenoid between terminals #3 and #7 of the solenoid harness connector.
- Standard: 3.8-6.8 Ohm
3. Measure the resistance of the PH-PL linear control solenoid between contacts No.2 and No.6.
- Standard: 3.8-6.8 Ohm
4. Measure the resistance of the starting clutch linear control solenoid between terminals #4 and #8.
- Standard: 3.8-6.8 Ohm
5. Measure the resistance of the lock-up solenoid between terminal #5 and ground.
- Standard: 11.7-21.0 Ohm
6. If the resistance of any solenoid is different from the standard, replace the lower valve body assembly.
7. If the resistance of all solenoids is within normal limits, then when connecting the battery to the following contacts of the solenoid harness connectors, a clicking sound should be heard:
Linear Shift Control Solenoid
Contact #3: Positive battery terminal
Contact #7: Battery Negative Terminal
Linear control solenoid PH-PL
Contact #2: Positive battery terminal
Contact #8: Battery Negative Terminal
Linear control solenoid for starting clutch
Contact #4: Positive battery terminal
Contact #8: Battery Negative Terminal
Lock solenoid
Contact #5: Positive battery terminal
Ground: Negative battery terminal
8. If no clicking noise is heard, replace the lower valve body assembly.
Note: If the lower valve body assembly requires replacement, see the appropriate section below.
