    Standard: 

    TESTER CONNECTION RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

    Tester Connection Specified Condition 20°C (68°F)
    Solenoid Connector (S1) - Solenoid Body (S1) 11 to 15Ω
    1. NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (See  ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT INSPECTION PROCEDURE  ) 
    2. OK: REPLACE ECM (See  REPLACEMENT  ) 
  3. INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE (S1) 
    1. Remove the shift solenoid valve S1.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below.

      Standard: 

      TESTER CONNECTION RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition 20 °C (68 °F)
      Solenoid Connector (S1)-Solenoid Body (S1) 11 to 15 Ω
    3. Connect the positive (+) battery lead to the solenoid connector terminal, and the negative (-) battery lead to the solenoid body for checking the solenoid valve operation.

      Standard: 

      The solenoid makes an operating noise.
