Checking The Wiring And Component

Check the wiring between transmission connector terminal #D5 (transmission side) and solenoid SLS terminal #1. Check the wiring between transmission connector terminal #D6 (transmission side) and solenoid SLS terminal #2. Check for a short-circuit to ground. See SHORT-CIRCUIT TO GROUND, PERMANENT FAULTS .

Check solenoid SLS by measuring the resistance between terminals #1 and #2 on the connector. The resistance must be 5-5.6 Ω at 20°C. Replace the transmission control system if the resistance is incorrect.

Other information: 

• To disconnect the transmission connectors, see CONNECTORS, TRANSMISSION, DISCONNECTING / CONNECTING
• To open and replace the transmission control system, see SOLENOID CONTROL SYSTEM, REPLACING
• To replace the cable harness for the control system, see TEMPERATURE SENSOR FLUID, TRANSAXLE, (TFT)
• For information about signals, see SIGNAL DESCRIPTION. TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) .
