Shift Solenoid Valve: Inspection

  1. INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SL1 
    1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

      Tester Connection Specified Condition 20°C (68°F)
      1 - 2 5.0 to 5.6 Ω
    2. Connect the positive (+) lead with a 21 W bulb to terminal 2 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 1 of the solenoid valve connector, then check the operation of the valve.

      OK: 

      The solenoid makes an operating sound. 

      If the resistance is not within the specified range, replace the shift solenoid valve SL1.
