Throttle Valve Solenoid: Testing and Inspection

1. Disconnect the transmission sub-harness connector (14P).
2. Measure the resistance between the No. 8 and No. 9 terminals of the transmission sub-harness connector.

STANDARD: 4.0 - 6.0 Ohms (at 70°F, 20°C)




3. If the resistance is out of specification, remove the shift cable cover, and disconnect the shift control solenoid valve/linear solenoid harness connector.




4. Measure the resistance between the No. 3 and No. 4 terminals of the shift control solenoid valve/linear solenoid harness connector.

STANDARD: 4.0 - 6.0 Ohms (at 70°F, 20°C)

- If the resistance is within specification, replace the transmission sub-harness.
- If the resistance is out of specification, replace the linear solenoid.

5. If the resistance is within the standard, connect the No. 4 terminal of the shift control solenoid valve/linear solenoid harness connector to the battery positive terminal, and connect the No. 3 terminal to the battery negative terminal. A clicking sound should be heard. If no clicking sound is heard, replace the linear solenoid.

NOTE:
If the linear solenoid replacement is required, refer to:
