Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Toyota Land Cruiser. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

HINT:

The shift solenoid valve S2 turns ON/OFF normally when the shift lever is on D:

SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE S2 POSITION

ECM gear shift command	1st	2nd	3rd	4th	5th
Shift solenoid valve S2	OFF	ON	ON	OFF	OFF

INSPECT TRANSMISSION WIRE (SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE S2)

Disconnect the E1 wire connector.

Measure the resistance of the transmission wire.

CHECK WIRE HARNESS (TRANSMISSION WIRE - ECM)

Disconnect the E6 ECM connector.

Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connector.

Standard resistance

TERMINALS RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
E6-10 (S2) - Body ground	20°C (68°F)	11 to 15 Ω

NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR

OK: REPLACE ECM

INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE S2
1. Remove the shift solenoid valve S2.
2. Measure the resistance between the solenoid valve terminal and solenoid valve body.
  Standard resistance: 11 to 15 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 an operating noise.
NG: REPLACE SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE S2
