Shift Control Solenoid Valves
- Shift control solenoid valves are located on lower valve body assembly. See Figure . Disconnect transaxle sub-harness connector.
- Using ohmmeter, check resistance between terminal No. 3 or terminal No. 4 and body ground. See Fig 1 .
- Resistance should be 12-24 ohms. If resistance is not within specification, disconnect shift control solenoid valve connector from transaxle sub-harness at the transaxle. Note terminal identification on shift control solenoid valve connector.
- Using ohmmeter, check resistance between terminal "A" and body ground. Check resistance between terminal "B" and body ground. See Figure .
- Resistance should be 12-24 ohms. If resistance is okay, replace transaxle sub-harness. Replace shift control solenoid valve assembly if resistance of either solenoid valve is not within specification.
- Check shift control solenoid valve operation. Apply battery voltage to terminal "A" and then terminal "B" of shift control solenoid valve connector. Ensure solenoid valve body is grounded.
- Clicking sound should be heard, indicating solenoid valve operation. Replace shift control solenoid valve assembly if either solenoid valve fails to operate.
