A/T Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Valve A, B, C, and D Test
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Acura MDX, 2012 Acura MDX, 2011 Acura MDX, and 2010 Acura MDX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Connect the HDS to the DLC (A) located under the driver's of the dashboard.
- 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 ).
- Select Clutch Pressure Control (Linear) Solenoid Valve A, B, C, and D individually in the Miscellaneous Test Menu with the HDS.
- Test A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A, B, C, and D individually with the HDS.
- If the valve tests OK, the test is complete. Disconnect the HDS.
- If any of the valve do not test OK, follow the instructions on the HDS.
- If any of the valve do not test OK, and the HDS does not determine the cause, go to step 5.
- Do the battery removal procedure (see RECONNECTION ).
- Remove the main under-hood fuse box from the battery base.
- Remove the intake air duct and the air cleaner housing.
- Remove the battery base and the battery base bracket.
- Disconnect the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A, B, C, or D connector.
- Measure the resistance between terminals No. 1 and No. 2 for each A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A, B, C, and D.
Standard: 4.7-5.9 Ω
- If the resistance is out of the standard, replace the secondary valve body (see SECONDARY VALVE BODY REPLACEMENT ).
- If the resistance is within the standard, go to step 11.
- Connect a jumper wire from the negative battery terminal to solenoid valve A, B, C, and D connector terminal No. 2, and connect another jumper wire from the positive battery terminal to connector terminal No. 1 individually.
- If an operating sound is heard, the solenoid valve is OK. Reconnect the connector, and install all removed parts.
- If no operating sound is heard, replace the secondary valve body (see SECONDARY VALVE BODY REPLACEMENT ).
