Shift Control Solenoid Valve "B"/"C"

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1998 Honda Odyssey, 1998 Honda Accord, and 1998 Acura 2.3CL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Shift control solenoid valves are located on transaxle. See Figure . Disconnect harness connector at shift control solenoid valves.
  2. Using a DVOM, measure resistance between ground and terminal No. 1 and No. 2 of each solenoid valve. See Fig 1 .
  3. Resistance should be 12-25 ohms. Replace shift control solenoid valve "B"/"C" if resistance of either solenoid valve is not within specification.
  4. Check shift control solenoid valve operation. Apply battery voltage to terminal No. 2 of each solenoid valve. Connect terminal No. 1 of each solenoid to negative battery terminal.
  5. A clicking sound should be heard, indicating solenoid valve operation. Replace shift control solenoid valve "B"/"C" assembly if either solenoid valve fails to operate.
