• Ignition off.
• Transmission connector B disconnected.

  Check solenoid SLS by measuring the resistance between #3 and #6 on transmission connector B. The ohmmeter should read 5-5.6 Ω (at 20◦C).

  Other information: 

  • To disconnect transmission connector B, see Connectors, transmission, disconnecting / connecting .
  • For information about signals, see Connector B, transmission .
