1V (such as damaged/pulled-out pins,
corrosion).
Is terminal normal?
INSPECT RESISTANCE OF SHIFT SOLENOID E CIRCUIT
4
Inspect for resistance between TCM terminal
1V (wiring harness-side) and body ground.
Is the resistance within 10—16 ohms?
(See SOLENOID VALVE INSPECTION [SJ6A-
EL].)
INSPECT COUPLE COMPONENT CONNECTOR FOR POOR
5
CONNECTION
Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
Disconnect the couple component connector.
Inspect for poor connection at couple
component terminal K (such as
damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).
Is terminal normal?
INSPECT RESISTANCE OF SHIFT SOLENOID E CIRCUIT
6
Inspect the resistance between couple
component (transmission case side) terminal K
and body ground.
Is the resistance within 10—16 ohms?
(See SOLENOID VALVE INSPECTION [SJ6A-
EL].)
INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID E CONNECTOR FOR POOR
7 CONNECTION
Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
Disconnect the shift solenoid E connector.
Inspect for poor connection at shift solenoid E
terminal A (such as damaged/pulled-out pins,
corrosion).
Is terminal normal?
INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID E
8
Inspect the shift solenoid E.
(See SOLENOID VALVE INSPECTION [SJ6A-
EL].)
Is the shift solenoid E normal?
INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID E CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO
9
POWER SUPPLY
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position
(engine off).
Measure the voltage at TCM (wiring harness-
side) terminal 1V.
Is there 0 V at the TCM wiring harness-side
