  4. Connect the No. 2 terminal of the linear solenoid connector to the battery positive terminal and connect the No. 1 terminal to the battery negative terminal. A clicking sound should be heard.
  5. If a clicking sound is not heard, remove the linear solenoid assembly.
  6. Check the linear solenoid fluid passage for dust or dirt.
  7. Connect the No. 2 terminal of the linear solenoid connector to the battery positive terminal and connect the No. 1 terminal to the battery negative terminal. Make sure the valve moves.
  8. Disconnect the negative battery terminal, and make sure the valve releases.
    NOTE: You can see the valve movement through the fluid passage in the mounting surface of the linear solenoid assembly.
