Pinpoint Test E: Transaxle Solenoid Pressure Control Circuit
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
NOTE:
Refer to the TRANSAXLE VEHICLE HARNESS CONNECTOR illustration within the Transaxle Connector Layouts procedure
in this service information.
- E1 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE AT THE TRANSAXLE VEHICLE HARNESS CONNECTOR
- Disconnect: Transaxle Vehicle Harness C168A.
- Use a mirror to inspect both ends of the connector for damage or pushed-out pins, corrosion, loose wires and missing or damaged seals.
- Ignition ON.
- Measure the voltage between the transaxle vehicle harness C168A-5, circuit CET25 (BU/GN) and ground.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
- Yes: INSTALL a new Transaxle Pressure Control Solenoid. Refer to SOLENOIDS in this service information. RECONNECT all components. TEST the system for normal operation.
- No: Go to E2 .
- E2 CHECK THE TRANSAXLE SOLENOID PRESSURE CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: PCM Transaxle Harness C175T.
- Measure the resistance between the PCM transaxle C175T-50, circuit CET25 (BU/GN) and transaxle vehicle harness C168A-5, circuit CET25 (BU/GN).
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes: Go to E3 .
- No: REPAIR circuit CET25 (BU/GN) for an open. RECONNECT all components. TEST the system for normal operation.
- E3 CHECK THE TRANSAXLE SOLENOID POWER CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Measure the resistance between the transaxle vehicle harness C168A-5, circuit CET25 (BU/GN) and ground.
- Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms?
- Yes: INSTALL a new PCM. Refer to ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROLS - 2.5L article or ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROLS - 3.0L (4V) article. RECONNECT all components. TEST the system for normal operation.
- No: REPAIR circuit CET25 (BU/GN) for a short to ground. RECONNECT all components. TEST the system for normal operation.
