SOLENOID VALVE INSPECTION [SJ6A-EL]

Caution:
^ Water or foreign material entering the connector can cause poor connections or corrosion. Be sure that water or foreign material do not enter the connector when disconnecting it.
^ Do not damage the terminals.

Resistance inspection (On-vehicle)

2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Disconnect the solenoid valve connector.





4. Measure the resistance between the following terminals.
^ If there is any malfunction, inspect the coupler component.
^ If the coupler component is normal, replace the control valve body.
