A/T Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Valve B Test

A/T Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Valve B Test
1. Connect the HDS to the DLC (A).





2. Make sure the HDS communicates with the PCM. If it does not, go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting.
3. Select Clutch Pressure Control (Linear) Solenoid B in the Miscellaneous Test Menu on the HDS.
4. Test A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve B with the HDS.
5. Follow the instructions indicated on the HDS by the test result. If the HDS has not determined the cause of the failure, remove A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves B and C, and test A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve B.
6. Disconnect the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve B connector (A).





7. Measure A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve B resistance between solenoid valve B terminals No. 1 and No. 2.
Standard: 3-10 ohms
8. If the resistance of A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve B is out of standard, replace clutch pressure control solenoid valves B and C.
9. Connect the battery positive terminal to clutch pressure control solenoid valve B connector terminal No. 1, and connect the battery negative terminal to the No. 2 terminal. A clicking sound should be heard.
10. If no sound is heard, remove clutch pressure control solenoid valves B and C, and test A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve B.
11. Disconnect the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C connector, and remove A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves B and C.





12. Remove the ATF joint pipes (A), the O-rings (D), and the gasket (E).
13. Check the fluid passage of the clutch pressure control solenoid valve for dust or dirt, and clean the passage.
14. Connect the battery positive terminal to A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve B connector terminal No. 1, and connect the battery negative terminal to the No. 2 terminal. Make sure A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve B moves.





15. 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 A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves B and C body.

16. If either valve binds or moves sluggishly, or if A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve B does not operate, replace A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves B and C.
17. Install a new gasket on the transmission housing, and install the ATF joint pipes.
18. Install new O-rings over the ATF joint pipes.
19. Install A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves B and C.
20. Check the clutch pressure control solenoid valve B and C connectors for rust, dirt, or oil, then connect the connectors securely.
