Shift Solenoid: Testing and Inspection
SHIFT CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE A/BTest
1. Measure the resistance between the No. 2 terminal of the shift control solenoid valve/linear solenoid harness connector and body ground, and between the No. 1 terminal and body ground.
2. Replace the shift control solenoid valve assembly if the resistance is out of specification.
3. If the resistance is within the standard, connect the No. 2 terminal of the shift control solenoid valve/linear solenoid harness connector to the battery positive terminal. A clicking sound should be heard. Connect the No. 1 terminal to the battery positive terminal. A clicking sound should be heard. Replace the shift control solenoid valve assembly if no clicking sound is heard.
Replacement
NOTE: Shift control solenoid valve A and B must be replaced as an assembly.
1. Remove the shift control solenoid valve A, B and linear solenoid/throttle valve body from the lower valve body assembly.
2. Disconnect the linear solenoid terminals.
3. Clean the mounting surfaces and fluid passages.
4. Connect the linear solenoid terminal, then install the shift control solenoid valve A, B and linear solenoid/ throttle valve body on the lower valve body.
