NOTE:

Readings should be taken at approximately 20°C.

Solenoid S1

Measure the resistance between the pin in the solenoid connector and the transmission ground terminal.

Correct value: 12-16 Ω.

Solenoids S2-S5

Measure the resistance between the pin in the solenoid connector and the transmission ground terminal.

Correct value: 11-15 Ω.

If the resistance of any of solenoids S1-S5 is incorrect

Replace the solenoid. See Replacing solenoids S1-S5 .
