Disconnect negative battery cable. Disconnect transaxle 10-pin connector. See Figure. Note that solenoids ground through transaxle case. Ensure transaxle case is grounded. Measure resistance between specified connector terminals and ground. See Figure. If resistance for any solenoid is not within specification, replace faulty solenoid. If resistance is within specification for all solenoids, go to SOLENOID "CLICK" TEST .
