Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Solenoid Performance Test: Notes

Special Tools 

DT-47825  Control Solenoid Test Plate

The purpose of this procedure is to test the operation of the control solenoid valve assembly for a stuck open or stuck closed solenoid. The DT-47825  control solenoid test plate bolts to the mounting surface of the control solenoid valve assembly. Pressurized air is routed into the aluminum test block, through the control solenoid valve assembly, and back to the gauge on the test block.

A pressure gauge is used to measure the pressurized air through the solenoid control ports. When a solenoid is commanded ON with the scan tool, pressurized air flows through the solenoid control port and displays on the pressure gauge. When the solenoid is commanded OFF with the scan tool, there is no pressurized air flow through the solenoid control port to the pressure gauge. The recommended shop air pressure for this test is 620.5 - 690.4 Kpa (90 - 100 psi).
