Solenoid Valves In Valve Body, Checking



Solenoid Valves In Valve Body, Checking

Recommended special tools and equipment
- V.A.G 1526 multimeter or V.A.G 1715 multimeter
- V.A.G 1594 connector test kit
- Wiring diagram

Test requirements
- Respective fuses in fuse box must be OK:
- Selector lever must be in -P- position.
- Ground (GND) connections to transmission must be OK.
- Ignition switched off.

Test sequence







- Disconnect 14-pin harness connector (arrow -2-) to solenoid valves (Solenoid Valve 1 - N88- to Solenoid Valve 6 -N93-, Solenoid Valve 9 -N282-, Solenoid Valve 10 -N283-).

Checking resistance







- 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 respective solenoid valve.
- Erase DTC memory of Transmission Control Module (TCM), Diagnostic mode 4: Reset/erase diagnostic data. Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory
- Generate readiness code. Readiness Code

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

Checking wiring
- Connect test box to control module wiring harness, connect test box for wiring test. 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. 1.5 ohms










- Check wires for short circuit to each other.


Specified value: infinity ohm

If no malfunctions are found in wires:
- Replace Transmission Control Module (TCM) -J217-.
