Shift Solenoid Valve Test
Shift Solenoid Valve Test
1. Connect the HDS to the DLC (A).
2. Select Shift Solenoid A, B, C, D, and E in Miscellaneous Test Menu on the HDS.
3. Check that the shift solenoid valve A, B, C, D, and E operate with the HDS. A clicking sound should be heard.
4. Shift solenoid valves test has finished if the test results are OK. If no sound is heard, remove the shift solenoid valves and test.
5. Remove the splash shield.
6. Remove the drain plug (A), and drain the automatic transmission fluid (ATF). Then reinstall the drain plug with a new sealing washer (B).
7. Disconnect the battery negative terminal, then disconnect the battery positive terminal.
8. Remove the battery hold-down bracket, then remove the battery cover, battery, and battery tray.
9. Remove the air intake duct and air cleaner housing.
10. Loosen the two bolts securing the battery base from under the vehicle, and remove the two bolts securing the battery base in the engine compartment, then remove the battery base.
11. Remove the ground cable (A), transmission upper mount bracket (B), and bracket plate (C).
12. Place a transmission jack under the transmission, and remove the transmission lower mount nuts.
13. Lift the transmission up to create clearance between the transmission and front subframe with the jack.
14. Remove the ATF dipstick, and remove the bolts securing the ATF cooler inlet line brackets (A) and ATF dipstick guide pipe (B) from the transmission hanger(C).
15. Remove the harness clamp (D), then remove the ATF dipstick guide pipe.
16. Disconnect the shift solenoid harness connector.
17. Remove the shift solenoid valve cover (A), dowel pins (B), and gasket (C).
18. Remove the shift solenoid harness connector.
19. Measure shift solenoid valves resistance between shift solenoid harness connector terminals below and body ground:
- No. 1 (GRN): shift solenoid valve C
- No. 2 (ORN): shift solenoid valve B
- No. 3 (RED): shift solenoid valve E
- No. 5 (BLU): shift solenoid valve A
- No. 8 (YEL): shift solenoid valve D
Standard: 12 - 25 ohms
20. If the resistance is out of standard, disconnect the shift solenoid valve connector, and measure its resistance at the solenoid valve terminal. Replace the shift solenoid valve if the resistance is out of standard.
21. Connect the battery negative terminal to body ground, and connect the battery positive terminal to the shift solenoid valve terminal individually. A clicking sound should be heard.
22. If no sound is heard, connect the battery positive terminal to the shift solenoid valve terminal, and check for a clicking sound. Replace the shift solenoid valve if no clicking sound is heard.
23. Replace the shift solenoid harness if the test results are OK.
24. Install a new O-ring on the shift solenoid harness connector, and install the connector in the transmission housing.
25. Install the shift solenoid valve cover, dowel pins, and a new gasket.
26. Install the new O-ring on the ATF dipstick guide pipe, and install the ATF dipstick guide pipe, then install the harness clamp on the ATF dipstick guide pipe.
27. Secure the ATF cooler line brackets on the transmission hanger with the bolts.
28. Check the connector for rust, dirt, or oil, then connect the connector securely.
29. Install the transmission lower mount nuts.
30. Install the transmission upper mount bracket, bracket plate, and ground cable, then remove the transmission jack.
31. Refill the transmission with ATF.
32. Install the battery base, then install the air cleaner housing and air intake duct.
33. Install the battery tray, battery, and battery cover, then secure the battery with its hold-down bracket.
34. Clean the battery posts and cable terminals with sandpaper, then assemble them and apply grease to prevent corrosion.
35. Install the splash shield.
36. Enter the anti-theft codes for the radio and navigation system, then enter the audio presets, and set the clock.
