Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Valve C Test

A/T Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Valve C Test





1. Connect the HDS to the DLC (A).
2. Select LINEAR SOL TEST in MISC. TEST MENU on the HDS.
3. Carry out LINEAR SOL C TEST in LINEAR SOL TEST MENU with the HDS.
4. Follow instructions indicated on the HDS by the test result. A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C test has finished if the test result is OK. If the HDS has not determined the cause of LINEAR SOL C TEST, disconnect A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C connector, and test the solenoid valve.
5. Remove the intake air duct.
6. Disconnect the battery negative terminal, then disconnect the battery positive terminal.
7. Remove the battery hold-down bracket, then remove the battery and battery tray.
8. Remove the four bolts securing the battery base in the engine compartment, then remove the battery base.





9. Disconnect the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C connector.
10. Measure A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C resistance at the solenoid valve connector.
Standard: 3 - 10 ohms
11. If the resistance is out of standard, replace the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C.
12. Connect the battery positive terminal to the No. 1 terminal of the solenoid valve connector, and connect the battery negative terminal to the No. 2 terminal. A clicking sound should be heard.
13. If no sound is heard, go to step 14 for checking solenoid valve movement. If the solenoid valve is OK, connect the connector, and install the removed part.





14. Remove the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C.
15. Remove the ATF joint pipes, O-rings, ATF pipe, and gasket.
16. Check the fluid passage of the solenoid valve for contamination.





17. Connect the battery positive terminal to the No. 1 terminal of the solenoid valve connector, and connect the battery negative terminal to the No. 2 terminal. Make sure that the solenoid valve C moves.
18. Disconnect one of the battery terminals, and check valve movement.

NOTE: You can see valve movement through the fluid passage in the mounting surface of the solenoid valve body.

19. If the valve binds or moves sluggishly, or if the solenoid valve does not work, replace the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C.
20. Clean the mounting surface and fluid passages of the solenoid valve and transmission housing.





21. Install the 8 x 53 mm ATF joint pipe (A) with the filter side into its mounting hole (B).





22. Check the height (A) of the 8 x 53 mm ATF joint pipe (B) between the top (C) of the pipe and solenoid valve body mounting surface (D). The height is about 7 mm (0.3 inch) If the height is over 7 mm (0.3 inch), install the pipe securely until it stops in the accumulator body.





23. Install the new gasket (A) on the transmission housing, and install the 8 x 34.5 mm ATF joint pipe (B) with the filter side into the transmission housing and 8 x 25.2 mm ATF pipe (D).
24. Install the new O-rings (E) over the ATF joint pipes.
25. Install the new A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C.
26. Check the connector for rust, dirt, or oil, clean or replace if necessary, then connect the connector securely.
27. Install the battery base and intake air duct.
28. Install the battery tray and battery, then secure the battery with its hold-down bracket. Connect the battery terminals.
