Disconnect the Solenoid Valve electrical harness connector - 2 -.
Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, lose or broken terminals.
Repair any damage found to the electrical harness connector.

If the electrical harness connector is not OK:

If the electrical harness connector is OK:

Checking resistance

Using a multimeter , check the Solenoid Valve electrical harness connector terminals for resistance.

Solenoid Valve	Electrical Harness Connector Terminal	Specified Value (Approx. 20 ° C)
Solenoid Valve 1 N88	9 to 18	10.0 - 16.0 Ω
Solenoid Valve 2 N89	10 to 18	10.0 - 16.0 Ω
Solenoid Valve 3 N90	12 to 18	4.0 - 8.0 Ω
Solenoid Valve 4 N91	17 to 18	4.0 - 8.0 Ω
Solenoid Valve 5 N92	11 to 18	4.0 - 8.0 Ω
Solenoid Valve 6 N93	15 to 18	4.0 - 8.0 Ω
Solenoid Valve 8 N281	14 to 18	4.0 - 8.0 Ω
Solenoid Valve 9 N282	13 to 18	4.0 - 8.0 Ω
Solenoid Valve 10 N283	16 to 18	4.0 - 8.0 Ω

If any of the specified values are not obtained:

Replace the faulty Solenoid Valve. Refer to Removing conductor strip for 4 SPD. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 01M or Removing and installing solenoid valves for 5 SPD. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 09A .

If the specified values are obtained:

Checking wiring

If the manufacturers test box is being used. Perform the following step.

Install the test box Test Box 105 Pin VAG1598/31. Refer to 24 MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) for engine code AWD and 24 MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) for engine codes AWP and AWW .

If the manufacturers test box is not being used. Perform the following step.

Remove the Transmission Control Module (TCM) J217.
Using a multimeter , check the Solenoid Valve electrical harness connector terminals to the Transmission Control Module (TCM) J217 electrical harness connector T52 terminals for an open circuit.

Solenoid Valve	Electrical Harness Connector Terminal	Transmission Control Module (TCM) J217 electrical connector T68a terminals or test box sockets
Solenoid Valve 1 N88	9	48
Solenoid Valve 2 N89	10	49
Solenoid Valve 3 N90	12	26
Solenoid Valve 4 N91	17	25
Solenoid Valve 5 N92	11	50
Solenoid Valve 6 N93	15	66
Solenoid Valve 8 N281	14	46
Solenoid Valve 9 N282	13	51
Solenoid Valve 10 N283	16	65
Ground (GND)	18	64

Specified value: 1.5 Ω Max.

If the specified value was not obtained:

Check the wiring for a short circuit to each other, Battery (+), and Ground (GND).
If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If no malfunction is found in the wiring and the resistance was not OK:

Replace the faulty Solenoid Valve. Refer to Removing conductor strip for 4 SPD. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 01M or Removing and installing solenoid valves for 5 SPD. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 09A .

If no malfunction is found in the wiring and the resistance was OK:

Erase the DTC memory. Refer to → Diagnostic Mode 04: Reset/delete diagnostic data
Perform a road test to verify repair.

If the DTC does not return:

Repair complete, Generate readiness code. Refer to → Readiness Code .

If the DTC does return and no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the Solenoid Valve was OK:

Replace the Transmission Control Module (TCM) J217. Refer to 37 - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - CONTROLS, HOUSING .
