July 1: So it begins. Don't worry, this is not in the correct legal jurisdiction!

CVT Driven Pulley Pressure Control Solenoid Valve Test

  1. Remove the air cleaner (see AIR CLEANER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
  2. Disconnect the solenoid wire harness connector.

  3. Measure the CVT driven pulley pressure control solenoid valve resistance between solenoid wire harness connector terminals No. 2 and No. 6.

    Standard: 3.8-6.8 Ω 

  4. If the resistance is out of standard, check for open or short in the solenoid wire harness. If the wires are OK, replace the CVT driven pulley pressure control solenoid valve (see CVT DRIVEN PULLEY PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE REPLACEMENT  ).
  5. Connect a jumper wire from the battery positive terminal to solenoid wire harness connector terminal No. 2, and connect another jumper wire from the battery negative terminal to terminal No. 6. A clicking sound should be heard.
  6. If no clicking sound is heard, remove the CVT driven pulley pressure control solenoid valve, and clean it, then recheck. Replace the CVT driven pulley pressure control solenoid valve if a problem recurs (see CVT DRIVEN PULLEY PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE REPLACEMENT  ).
