Code 7-4, Rear Solenoid Circuit (Open)
- Disconnect 10-pin connector from solenoids. Connector is located on right side of engine compartment, near shock tower.
- Using DVOM, measure resistance of solenoid wires. Measure between Red/White and Brown/White wires and between Yellow/White and Brown/White wires. If resistance is 1-3 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is not 1-3 ohms, solenoid is defective.
- Disconnect 12-pin connector from control unit. Check for continuity in Red/White and Yellow/White wires between 12-pin and 10-pin connectors. If continuity exists in both wires, go to next step. If continuity does not exist in either wire, repair open in wire having no continuity.
- Check for continuity in Red/White and Yellow/White wires between 12-pin connector and ground. If continuity does not exist in both wires, go to next step. If continuity exists in either wire, repair short in wire having continuity.
- Remove and test rear fail-safe relay. See RELAY TEST under COMPONENT TESTS. Replace relay if it is defective. If relay is okay, check for continuity between Black wire of fail-safe relay connector and ground. If continuity exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist, check fail-safe relay ground connection, located behind right kick panel. If ground connection is okay, repair open in Black wire.
- Check for continuity in Blue/Black wire between solenoid connector and rear fail-safe relay connector. If continuity does not exist, repair open in Blue/Black wire. If continuity exists, check for loose control unit connectors. If connectors are okay, install a known good control unit and retest.
