Shift Solenoid Valves A and B
Test
1. Disconnect the transmission sub-harness connector
(14P).
TRANSMISSION SUB-HARNESS
CONNECTOR (14P)
2. Measure the resistance between the No. 4 terminal
of the transmission sub-harness connector and
body ground, and between the No. 5 terminal and
body ground.
STANDARD: 12 - 25
3. If the resistance is out of specification, remove the
shift cable cover, and disconnect the shift solenoid
valve/A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve
harness connector.

Measure the resistance between the No. 1 terminal
of the shift solenoid valve/A/T clutch pressure con-
trol solenoid valve harness connector and body
ground, and between the No. 2 terminal and body
ground.
STANDARD: 12 - 25
• If the resistance is within specification, replace the
transmission sub-harness.
• If the resistance is out of specification, replace the
shift solenoid valves A and B.
5. If the resistance is within the standard, connect the
No. 2 terminal of the shift solenoid valve/A/T clutch
pressure control solenoid valve harness connector
to the battery positive terminal. A clicking sound
should be heard. Connect the No. 1 terminal to the
battery positive terminal. A clicking sound should
be heard. If no clicking sound is heard, replace the
shift solenoid valves A and B.
