Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Toyota Land Cruiser. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

HINT:

The shift solenoid valve S1 turns ON/OFF normally when the shift lever is on D:

INSPECT TRANSMISSION WIRE (SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE S1)

Disconnect the E1 wire connector.
Measure the resistance of the transmission wire.

Standard resistance

CHECK WIRE HARNESS (TRANSMISSION WIRE - ECM)

Disconnect the E6 ECM connector.
Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connector.

Standard resistance

RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
E6-11 (S1) - Body ground	20°C (68°F)	11 to 15 Ω

NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR

OK: REPLACE ECM

INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE S1
1. Remove the shift solenoid valve S1.
2. Measure the resistance of the solenoid valve.
  Standard resistance: 5.0 to 5.6 Ω at 20°C (68°F)
3. Connect the battery's positive (+) lead to the terminal of the solenoid connector, and the negative (-) lead to the solenoid body.
OK: Solenoid makes operating noise.

NG: REPLACE SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE S1
