2. Measure the resistance between the connector (male terminals) (B) and body ground according to the table.

If the resistance is within the standard, the test is complete, and install all removed parts.
If the resistance is out of the standard, check the solenoid valve operation.

Solenoid valve	Terminal	StandardResistance
CVT clutch pressure control solenoid valve	No. 1	4.7-5.9 ohms

Solenoid valve	Terminal	StandardResistance
CVT drive pulley pressure control solenoid valve	No. 8	5.0-6.3 ohms
CVT driven pulley pressure control solenoid valve	No. 3	5.0-6.3 '
CVT lock-up clutch control solenoid valve	No. 4	5.0-6.3 ohms
Shift solenoid valve B	No. 5	10.6-13.5 ohms
Shift solenoid valve O/P	No. 2	10.6-13.5 ohms
