Solenoid Valves In Valve Body, Checking

Solenoid Valves In Valve Body, Checking

Recommended special tools and equipment
- V.G1526 multimeter or V.A.G1715 multimeter
- V.A.G1594 connector test kit
- Wiring diagram

Test requirements







- Fuses on E-box in engine compartment, left side, must be OK:

NOTE: Fuses on this fuse holder are labelled "SB" in the wiring diagram.

- Battery voltage must be at least 11.5 Volts.
- All electrical consumers such as, lights and rear window defroster must be switched off.
- Ground (GND) connections to transmission must be OK.
- Selector lever must be in -P- position.
- Ignition switched off.


Test sequence
Observe safety precautions.
Observe rules for cleanliness.







- Disconnect 14-pin connector -A- on transmission.
- Check harness connector for contact corrosion and ingress of water.

If harness connector is not OK:
- Repair the malfunction.
- Erase DTC memory of Transmission Control Module (TCM). Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory
- Generate readiness code. Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes

If harness connector is OK:
- Check resistance of solenoid valves.

Checking resistance of solenoid valves







- Check resistances of solenoid valves at connector to the solenoid valves:







NOTE: Resistance value is valid at approx. 20 degrees C. At higher temperatures, resistance value increases.

If one of the specified values is not obtained:
- Replace the relevant solenoid valve.
- Erase DTC memory of Transmission Control Module (TCM). Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory
- Generate readiness code. Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes

If specified values are obtained:
- Check wires to Transmission Control Module (TCM) according to wiring diagram.

Checking wires to Transmission Control Module (TCM)
- Connect test box to control module wiring harness. Test Box, Connecting For Wiring Test
- Check wires between test box and 14-pin connector to Transmission Control Module (TCM) for open circuit according to wiring diagram. Wire resistance: max. 3.0 Ohms







- Check wires for short circuit to each other.

Specified value: Infinity Ohms

If no malfunctions are detected in the wires and the resistance values are OK:
- Replace Transmission Control Module (TCM) -J217-.
