  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II). Make sure the HDS communicates with the PCM. If it does not, go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting (see DLC CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING ).
  3. Select Shift Solenoid Valve A or B in the Miscellaneous Test Menu on the HDS.
  4. Check that shift solenoid valve A or B operate with the HDS. A clicking sound should be heard.
    • If a clicking sound is heard, the solenoid valve is OK. The test is complete, disconnect the HDS.
    • If no clicking sound is heard, go to step  6, and test the solenoid valve.
  5. Remove the air intake scoop (see step  5 ).
  6. Do the battery removal procedure (see BATTERY REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ).
  7. Remove the air cleaner (see AIR CLEANER ELEMENT INSPECTION/REPLACEMENT ).
  8. Remove the intake air duct (see step  10 ).
  9. Remove the main under-hood fuse box (see step  11 ).
  10. Remove the battery base (see step  12 ).
  11. Remove the ATF dipstick and the starter (see step  17 ).
  12. Remove the secondary valve body (see SECONDARY VALVE BODY REPLACEMENT  ).
  13. Measure the resistance of the shift solenoid valve between connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2.

    Standard: 13.8-17.1 Ω 

    • If the resistance is out of the standard, replace the secondary valve body, then go to step  15.
    • If the resistance is within the standard, go to step 14 and check the solenoid valve for a clicking sound.

  14. Connect a jumper wire from the negative battery terminal to shift solenoid valve A or B connector terminal No. 1, and connect another jumper wire from the positive battery terminal to connector terminal No. 2.
    • If a clicking sound is heard, repair the wire between the PCM connector terminal and the defective shift solenoid valve, then go to step 15.
    • If no clicking sound is heard, replace the secondary valve body, then go to step 15.
  15. Install the secondary valve body (see SECONDARY VALVE BODY REPLACEMENT  ).
  16. Install the starter (see step  52 ).
  17. Install the ATF dipstick.
  18. Install the battery base (see step  58 ).
  19. Install the main under-hood fuse box (see step  59 ).
  20. Install the intake air duct (see step  60 ).
  21. Install the air cleaner (see AIR CLEANER ELEMENT INSPECTION/REPLACEMENT ).
  22. Do the battery installation procedure (see BATTERY REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ).
  23. Install the air intake scoop (see step  66 ).
