Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.
Manuals through 2025 now available!

Our trusted friends have launched a new website named LEMON, which has newer manuals. It also contains all the CHARM manuals.

LEMON is the spiritual successor to CHARM, I recommend you try it!

Shift Solenoid: Testing and Inspection

SOLENOID VALVE INSPECTION
Resistance Inspection (On-Vehicle)
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.





2. Disconnect the terminal component No. 1 connector.





3. Measure the resistance between the following terminals.





^ If not as specified, inspect each solenoid valve.
ATF temperature an 20°C (68°F)
4. Connect the terminal component No. 1 connector.
5. Connect the negative battery cable.

Operating Inspection (On-Vehicle)





1. Disconnect the terminal component No. 1 connector.

Caution:
^ Do not apply battery positive voltage to terminals for more than three seconds.

Note:
^ Because the operation sound of the valves is small, inspect in a quiet place.

2. Apply battery positive voltage to terminals A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I and battery negative voltage to GND, and verify that operating sound is heard from solenoid.
^ If the "click" is not heard, inspect the transaxle harness.
- If the transaxle harness is okay, perform the resistance inspection (off-vehicle inspection).
- If there is a problem, repair or replace the transaxle harness.
3. Connect the terminal component No. 1 connector.

Resistance Inspection (Off-Vehicle)
1. Remove each solenoid valve.
2. Measure the resistance of each solenoid valve individually.
^ If not specified, replace the solenoid valve.
^ If it is normal, replace the harness.
