Linear Solenoid
- Linear solenoid is located on throttle valve body. Disconnect transaxle sub-harness connector. See Fig 1
.
- Using ohmmeter, check resistance between harness connector terminals No. 8 (Red wire) and No. 9 (White wire). Resistance should be 4-6 ohms at 70°F (20°C). If resistance is as specified, go to step 4
. If resistance is not as specified, go to next step.
- Remove shift cable cover. Disconnect linear solenoid harness connector from transaxle sub-harness at the transaxle. Note terminal identification on linear solenoid harness connector. Check resistance between linear solenoid harness connector terminals No 3 (White wire) and No. 4 (Red wire). Resistance should be 4-6 ohms at 70°F (20°C). If resistance is as specified, replace transaxle sub-harness. If resistance is not as specified, replace linear solenoid.
- Disconnect 4-pin linear solenoid harness connector. Connect battery voltage to solenoid harness connector terminal No. 4 (Red wire) and battery ground to harness connector terminal No. 3 (White wire). Solenoid should click. If clicking sound is heard, replace transaxle sub-harness. If no clicking sound is heard, replace linear solenoid.
