Shift Solenoid Valve: Inspection

  1. INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SL1 
    1. Measure the resistance of the valve.

      Standard resistance 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      1 - 2 20°C (68°F) 5.0 to 5.6 Ω
    2. Connect the battery's positive (+) lead with a 21 W bulb to terminal 2 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 1 of the solenoid valve connector. Then check that the valve moves and makes an operating noise.

      OK: 

      Valve moves and makes operating noise. 

      NOTE: While using the battery during the inspection, do not bring the positive and negative tester probes too close to each other as a short circuit may occur.
