A/T Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Valve C Test

A/T Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Valve C Test
1. Connect the HDS to the DLC (A).





2. Choose Clutch Pressure Control (Linear) Solenoid C in Miscellaneous Test Menu on the HDS.

NOTE: If the HDS does not communicate with the PCM, troubleshoot the DLC circuit.

3. Test A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C with the HDS.
^ If the valve tests OK, the test is complete. Disconnect the HDS.
^ If the valve does not test OK, follow the instructions on the HDS.
^ If the valve does not test OK, and the HDS does not determine the cause, go to step 4.

4. Remove the air cleaner assembly.
5. Disconnect the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C connector.





6. Measure the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C resistance at the connector terminals.

Standard: 3 - 10 Ohms

^ If the resistance is out of standard, replace A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C.
^ If the resistance is within the standard, go to step 7.

7. Connect a jumper wire from the negative battery terminal to solenoid valve C connector terminal No. 2, and connect another jumper wire from the positive battery terminal to connector terminal No. 1.
^ If a clicking sound is heard, the valve is OK. Reconnect the connector, and install all removed parts.
^ If no clicking sound is heard, go to step 8.

8. Disconnect the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve B connector, remove the breather tube from the radiator upper hose bracket and remove the radiator upper hose bracket (A), then remove A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves B and C.





9. Remove the ATF pipe (D), the ATF joint pipes (E), the O-rings (F), and the gasket (G).
10. Check the fluid passage of the solenoid valve for contamination.
11. Connect a jumper wire from the negative battery terminal to A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C connector terminal No. 2, and connect another jumper wire from the positive battery terminal to connector terminal No. 1. Make sure A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C moves.





12. Disconnect one of the jumper wires and check valve movement at the fluid passage in the valve body mounting surface. If the valve binds or moves sluggishly, or if the solenoid valve does not operate, replace A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves B and C.
13. Clean the mounting surfaces and the fluid passages of the solenoid valve body.
14. Install the new gasket with blue side down; white side up on the transmission housing.
15. Install the ATF pipe and ATF joint pipes, and install the new O-rings over the ATF joint pipes.
16. Install A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves B and C, the radiator upper hose bracket, and the breather tube.
17. Check the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve B and C connectors for rust, dirt, or oil, then connect the connectors securely.
18. Install the air cleaner assembly.
