Shift Control Solenoid Valves

  1. Shift control solenoid valves are located on lower valve body assembly. See Figure . Blue wire is for shift control solenoid valve "A" and Green wire is for solenoid valve "B".
  2. Disconnect transaxle sub-harness connector. See Figure . Using ohmmeter, measure resistance between ground and shift control solenoid terminals No. 4 (Green/White wire) and No. 5 (Blue/Yellow wire). Resistance should be 12-25 ohms. If resistance is not as specified, go to next step. If resistance is as specified, go to step  4 .
  3. Remove shift cable cover. Disconnect shift control solenoid valve harness connector from transaxle sub-harness at the transaxle. Measure resistance between ground and solenoid harness connector terminal No. 1 (Green wire) and terminal No. 2 (Blue wire). See Figure . If resistance is as specified, go to next step. If resistance is not as specified, replace shift control solenoid valve.
  4. Check shift control solenoid valve operation. Ensure shift control solenoid valve body is grounded. Apply battery voltage to solenoid terminal No. 2 (Blue wire) and then to solenoid terminal No. 1 (Green wire). See Figure . Clicking sound should be heard when voltage is applied. If clicking sound is not heard, replace shift control solenoid valve assembly. If clicking sound is heard, replace transaxle sub-harness connector assembly.
