Shift Solenoid Valve: Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lexus ES 350. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SL 
    1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance 

      RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition 20°C (68°F)
      Solenoid Connector (SL) - Solenoid Body (SL) 11 to 15 Ω

      If the value is not as specified, replace the shift solenoid valve.

    2. Connect the positive (+) lead to terminal 2 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 1 of the solenoid valve connector, then check the movement of the shift solenoid valve.

      OK: 

      The solenoid makes an operating noise. 

      If the operation is not as specified, replace the shift solenoid valve.
