Shift Solenoid: Testing and Inspection

Solenoid Valves (Shift Solenoid Valves and TCC Solenoid Valve) Inspection
Resistance Check





Shift solenoid valve-A (No.1), -B (No.2) and TCC solenoid valve
Shift solenoid valves and TCC solenoid valve resistance
Standard: 11 - 15 ohms at 20°C (68°F)

Operation Check
Shift solenoid valve-A (blow) and -B (No.2)





^ Check that solenoid valve (1) actuate with click sound when battery voltage is conducted.
^ Apply oiler (2) to solenoid valve (1) and give compression by hands and then check to be sure that transaxle fluid from oiler does not come out of holes in solenoid valve when battery voltage is not conducted.
^ Under the same conditions, conduct battery voltage and then make sure that fluid comes out with vigor. If check result is not as described, replace shift solenoid valve.

TCC solenoid valve





^ Check that solenoid valve (1) actuate with click sound when battery voltage is conducted.
^ Apply oiler (2) to solenoid valve (1) and give compression by hands and then check to be sure that transaxle fluid from oiler does not come out of holes in solenoid valve when battery voltage is conducted.
^ Under the same conditions, release battery voltage and then make sure that fluid comes out with vigor. If check result is not as described, replace shift solenoid valve.
