WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Connect the HDS to the DLC (A) located under the driver's of the dashboard.

  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode. Make sure the HDS communicates with the PCM. If it does not, go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting (see DLC CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING ).
  3. Select Clutch Pressure Control (Linear) Solenoid Valve A, B, C, and D individually in the Miscellaneous Test Menu on the HDS.
  4. Test A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A, B, C, and D individually with the HDS.
    • If the valves test OK, the test is complete. Disconnect the HDS.
    • If any of the valves do not test OK, follow the instructions on the HDS.
    • If any of the valves do not test OK, and the HDS does not determine the cause, go to step 5.
  5. Do the battery removal procedure (see BATTERY REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ).
  6. Remove the battery base (see ENGINE REMOVAL ).
  7. Disconnect the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A, B, C, or D connector.

  8. Measure the resistance between connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2 for each A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A, B, C, and D.

    Standard: 4.7 - 5.9 Ω 

    • If the resistance is out of the standard, replace the secondary valve body (see SECONDARY VALVE BODY REPLACEMENT  ).
    • If the resistance is within the standard, go to step 9.
  9. Connect a jumper wire from the negative battery terminal to solenoid valve A, B, C, and D connector terminal No. 2, and connect another jumper wire from the positive battery terminal to connector terminal No. 1 individually.
    • If an operating sound is heard, the solenoid valve is OK. Reconnect the connector, and install all removed parts.
    • If no operating sound is heard, replace the secondary valve body (see SECONDARY VALVE BODY REPLACEMENT  ).
