Inspection of Solenoid Valves
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Inspect the OBD trouble code. (See DTC TABLE .)
- Remove the solenoid valves. (See
SOLENOID VALVES REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)NOTE:
- Resistance value of the solenoid valve varies with temperature. Normal resistance value occurs when the temperature is 20°C {68°F} , but it may be abnormal at high temperatures. Therefore, do not determine the resistance value only at 20°C {68°F}.
- Measure the resistance between solenoid valve terminals.
- If not correct, replace the solenoid valves.
Solenoid Resistance (ohm) Shift solenoid B 11-15 Shift solenoid A 11-15 Torque converter clutch solenoid valve 11-15 - Install the solenoid valves. (See SOLENOID VALVES REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
- Connect the solenoid valve connector.
- Connect the negative battery cable.
