Inhibitor Solenoid Test
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Honda Insight and 2010 Honda Insight. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Remove the air cleaner (see AIR CLEANER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
- Disconnect the solenoid wire harness connector.
- Measure the inhibitor solenoid resistance between solenoid wire harness connector terminal No. 5 and body ground.
Standard: 11.7-21.0 Ω
- If the resistance is out of standard, check for open or short in the solenoid wire harness. If the wire is OK, replace the inhibitor solenoid (see CVT DRIVEN PULLEY PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE REPLACEMENT ).
- Connect a jumper wire from the battery positive terminal to solenoid wire harness connector terminal No. 5, and connect another jumper wire from the battery negative terminal to body ground.
A clicking sound should be heard.
- If no clicking sound is heard, replace the inhibitor solenoid (see CVT DRIVEN PULLEY PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE REPLACEMENT ).
