Inhibitor Solenoid Test

Inhibitor Solenoid Test
1. Remove the air cleaner housing and intake air duct.





2. Disconnect the solenoid harness connector.
3. Measure the inhibitor solenoid resistance between solenoid harness connector terminal No. 5 and body ground.
Standard: 11.7 - 21.0 Ohms
4. Connect the battery positive terminal to solenoid harness connector terminal No. 5, and connect the battery negative terminal to body ground. A clicking sound should be heard.
5. If the test results are different from standard, remove the lower valve body.
6. If the resistance is out of standard, check for an open or a short in the solenoid harness. If the wire is OK, replace the inhibitor solenoid.
7. If no sound is heard, replace the inhibitor solenoid.
