A/T Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Valve C Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Honda Odyssey, 2003 Honda Odyssey, and 2002 Honda Odyssey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Disconnect the connector from A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C.

Measure A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C resistance at the solenoid valve connector.
Standard: 3-10 Ω.
If the resistance is out of standard, replace the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C.
Connect the No. 1 terminal of A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C to the battery positive terminal, and connect the No. 2 terminal to the battery negative terminal. A clicking sound should be heard. Remove A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C if no sound is heard.
Check the fluid passage of A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C for dust and dirt.
Connect the No. 1 terminal of A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C to the battery positive terminal, and connect the No. 2 terminal to the battery negative terminal. Make sure A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C (A) moves.

Disconnect one of the battery terminals and check valve movement.
NOTE: You can see the valve movement through the fluid passage in the mounting surface of the body (B).
If the valve binds, or moves sluggishly, or if the solenoid does not operate, replace A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C.
