Shift Solenoid Valve: Inspection

  1. INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SL 
    1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance 

      RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition 20°C (68°F)
      Solenoid Connector (SL) - Solenoid Body (SL) 11 to 15 Ω

      If the value is not as specified, replace the shift solenoid valve.
