Measure the CVT drive pulley pressure control solenoid valve resistance between solenoid wire harness 8P connector (B) terminals No. 3 and body ground.
Standard: 3.8-6.8 Ω
If the resistance is out of standard, check for open or short in the solenoid harness. If the wires are OK, replace the CVT drive pulley pressure control solenoid valve (see CVT CLUTCH PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE REPLACEMENT ).
Connect a jumper wire from the battery positive terminal to solenoid wire harness 8P connector terminal No. 3, and connect another jumper wire from the battery negative terminal to body ground. A clicking sound should be heard.
If no clicking sound is heard, remove the CVT drive pulley pressure control solenoid valve, and clean it, then recheck. Replace the CVT drive pulley pressure control solenoid valve if a problem recurs (see CVT CLUTCH PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE REPLACEMENT ).
