Solenoid Valve Test

  1. Disconnect the solenoid harness connector (8P).

  2. Measure CVT drive pulley pressure control valve assembly resistance between solenoid harness connector terminals No. 3 and No. 7.

    Standard: 3.8-6.8 Ω 

  3. Measure CVT driven pulley pressure control valve assembly resistance between terminals No. 2 and No. 6.

    Standard: 3.8-6.8 Ω 

  4. Measure CVT start clutch pressure control valve assembly resistance between terminals No. 4 and No. 8.

    Standard: 3.8-6.8 Ω 

  5. Measure the inhibitor solenoid resistance between terminal No. 5 and body ground.

    Standard: 11.7-21.0 

  6. Replace the lower valve body assembly, if the measurement of any solenoid is out of standard.
  7. If all of the resistances are within the standard, a clicking sound should be heard when connecting the battery terminals to the solenoid harness connector terminals.
