Inspection [12/2013 - 11/2016]: Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Toyota Highlander, 2015 Toyota Highlander, and 2014 Toyota Highlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SL

Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

*a	Shift Solenoid Valve SL

Standard Resistance

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
Solenoid Connector (SL) - Solenoid Body (SL)	20°C (68°F)	11 to 15 Ω

If the value is not as specified, replace the shift solenoid valve.

Connect a positive (+) lead from the battery to the terminal of the solenoid connector, and a negative (-) lead to the solenoid body, and check the operation of the valve.
NOTE:
When using battery voltage during the inspection, do not bring the positive (+) and negative (-) tester probes too close to each other as a short circuit may occur.

OK

The valve moves and makes an operating sound.

If the operation cannot be done as specified, replace the shift solenoid valve.

INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE (SLT, SLU, SL1, SL2, SL3, SL4)

Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

*a	Component without harness connected (Shift Solenoid Valve SLT, SLU, SL1, SL2, SL3, SL4)

Standard Resistance

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
1 - 2	20°C (68°F)	5.0 to 5.6 Ω

If the value is not as specified, replace the shift solenoid valve.

Connect a positive (+) lead from the battery with a 21 W bulb to terminal 2 and a negative (-) lead to terminal 1 of the solenoid valve connector, and check the operation of the valve.
NOTE:
When using battery voltage during the inspection, do not bring the positive (+) and negative (-) tester probes too close to each other as a short circuit may occur.

OK

The valve moves and makes an operating sound.

If the operation cannot be done as specified, replace the shift solenoid valve.
