Solenoid Valves

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Infiniti QX4, 2001 Nissan Pathfinder, and 2001 Infiniti QX4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Remove valve body assembly. Remove appropriate solenoid valve. See appropriate SERVICING article. Measure resistance between appropriate terminals of transmission terminal cord assembly 8-pin connector and ground. See SOLENOID VALVE RESISTANCE table. If resistance is not as specified, replace solenoid.
Check operation of solenoid valve by listening for its operating sound while applying battery voltage to appropriate terminal of transmission terminal cord assembly 8-pin connector and ground. See Fig 2. Replace as necessary.
