A/T Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Valve C Test
A/T Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Valve C Test1. Connect the HDS to the DLC (A).
2. Select CLUTCH PRESSURE CONTROL (Linear) SOLENOID C in the MISCELLANEOUS TEST MENU on the HDS.
NOTE: If the HDS does not communicate with the PCM, troubleshoot the DLC circuit.
3. Test A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C with the HDS.
^ If the valve tests OK, the test is complete. Disconnect the HDS.
^ If the valve does not test OK, follow the instructions on the HDS.
^ If the valve does not test OK, and the HDS does not determine the cause, go to step 4.
4. Make sure you have the anti-theft codes for the audio system and the navigation system (if equipped).
5. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery, then disconnect the positive cable.
6. Remove the battery hold-down bracket, and remove the battery cover, the battery, and the battery tray.
7. Remove the battery base.
8. Remove the intercooler cover, the air cleaner housing, and the intake air duct.
9. Disconnect the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C connector.
10. Measure the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C resistance at the connector terminals.
Standard: 3-10 Ohms
^ If the resistance is out of standard, replace A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C.
^ If the resistance is within the standard, go to step 11.
11. Connect a jumper wire from the negative battery terminal to the solenoid valve C connector terminal No. 2, and connect another jumper wire from the positive battery terminal to the connector terminal No. 1.
^ If a clicking sound is heard, the valve is OK. Reconnect the connector, and install all removed parts.
^ If no clicking sound is heard, go to step 12.
12. Remove A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve
13. Remove the ATF joint pipes (A), O-rings (B), ATF pipe (D), and gasket (E).
14. Check the fluid passage of the solenoid valve for contamination.
15. Connect a jumper wire from the negative battery terminal to A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C connector terminal No. 2, and connect another jumper wire from the positive battery terminal to connector terminal No. 1. Make sure clutch pressure control solenoid valve C moves.
16. Disconnect one of the jumper wires, and check valve movement at the fluid passage in valve body mounting surface. If the valve binds or moves sluggishly, or if the solenoid valve does not operate, replace A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C.
17. Clean the mounting surface and fluid passage of the solenoid valve body and transmission housing.
18. Install the 8 x 53 mm ATF joint pipe (A) with the filter end into its mounting hole (B).
19. 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), push the pipe until it bottoms in the accumulator body.
20. Install the new gasket (A) on the transmission housing, and install the 8 x 34.5 mm ATF joint pipe (B) with the filter end into the transmission housing and 8 x 25.2 mm ATF pipe (D).
21. Install the new O-rings (E) over the ATF joint pipes.
22. Install A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C.
23. Check the connector for rust, dirt, or oil, then connect the connector securely.
24. Install the intake air duct, the air cleaner housing, and the intercooler cover.
25. Install the battery base.
26. Install the battery tray, the battery, the battery cover, and the battery hold-down bracket, then reconnect the battery cables.
27. Enter the anti-theft codes for the audio system and the navigation system (if equipped). Set the clock (on vehicles without navigation).
28. Do the power window control unit reset procedure.
