Shift Solenoids SL1 & SL2

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2002 Toyota RAV4, 2002 Toyota Highlander, 2002 Toyota Camry, 2002 Lexus RX 300, and 2001 Toyota RAV4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: For circuit reference, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION and/or WIRING DIAGRAMS .

NOTE: The following information can also be used to diagnose DTCs P0750, P0755 and P0765. For testing of shift solenoid SLT, see DTC P1760: SHIFT SOLENOID SLT under DIAGNOSTIC TESTS.

Raise and support vehicle. Remove transaxle oil pan. See LUBRICATION in appropriate AUTOMATIC article in TRANSMISSION SERVICING. Remove shift solenoid(s). See Figure. Using a DVOM, measure resistance between shift solenoid terminals. Resistance should be 5.1-5.5 ohms. If resistance is not as specified, replace solenoid.
To check shift solenoid operation, connect positive lead with 23-watt bulb from battery to terminal No. 1 (White wire on shift solenoid SL1, or Yellow wire on shift solenoid SL2) of solenoid. Connect negative lead to terminal No. 2 of solenoid. With power supplied to solenoid, ensure solenoid valve moves outward. With power disconnected, ensure solenoid valve moves inward. Replace solenoid if operating sound cannot be heard. If solenoid operates, diagnose valve body malfunction. See appropriate OVERHAUL article.
