Step Action YES NO
Was "A/T System Check" performed?  Go to Step 2. Go to A/T SYSTEM CHECK .
Check shift solenoid valve resistance 
  1. Turn ignition switch to OFF position.
  2. Disconnect valve body harness connector (1) on transaxle.
  3. Check for proper connection to "BRN" and "BLK/YEL" terminals of valve body harness connector.
  4. Check resistance of shift solenoid valve.

    Resistance of shift solenoid valve Between shift solenoid valve-A (No. 1) terminal (2) and vehicle body ground (4): 12 - 16 Ω at 20°C (68°F) 

    Between shift solenoid valve-B (No. 2) terminal (3) and vehicle body ground (4): 11 - 15 Ω at 20°C (68°F)

Is check result satisfactory? 
Go to Step 3. Replace shift solenoid valve or lead wire.
Check shift solenoid circuit for ground short valve circuit 
  1. Disconnect TCM connectors.
  2. Check for proper connection to "C06-15" and "C06-16" terminals of TCM connector.
  3. If connections are OK, check continuity between "C06-15" or "C06-16" terminals of disconnected harness side TCM connector and ground.

Is continuity indicated? 
"BRN" or "BLK/YEL" circuit shorted to ground. Intermittent trouble or faulty TCM. Check for intermittent referring to INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTION INSPECTION . If OK, substitute a known-good TCM and recheck.
