Automatic Transmission
Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid
Valve - Shift Solenoid Valve A Test
1. Disconnect the 3P connector from the torque
converter clutch solenoid valve/shift control
solenoid valve A.
2. Measure the resistance of the torque converter
clutch solenoid valve between the No. 3 terminal of
the 3P connector and body ground.
Standard: 12−25
3. Measure the resistance of the shift solenoid valve A
between the No. 1 terminal of the 3P connector and
body ground.
Standard: 12−25
4. Replace the torque converter clutch solenoid valve/
shift solenoid valve A if either resistance is out of
specification.
5. If the resistance is within the standard, connect the
No. 1 terminal of the 3P connector to the battery
positive terminal. A clicking sound should be heard.
Connect the No. 3 terminal to the battery positive
terminal. A clicking sound should be heard.
Replace the torque converter clutch solenoid valve/
shift solenoid valve A if no sound is heard.

7. Connect the No. 1 terminal of the A/T clutch
pressure control solenoid valves A and B to the
battery positive terminal, and connect the No. 2
terminal to the battery negative terminal. Make
sure the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid
valves A and B move.

2. Measure the resistance between the No. 1 and

No. 2 terminals of each connector.

Standard: 3−10

3. If the resistance of either solenoid is out of

standard, replace the A/T clutch pressure control
solenoid valves A and B. B A

4. Connect the No. 1 terminal of the A/T clutch
pressure control solenoid valves A and B to the
battery positive terminal, and connect the No. 2
terminal to the battery negative terminal. A clicking
sound should be heard.
5. If not, remove the A/T clutch pressure control
solenoid valves A and B.
6. Check the fluid passage of the A/T clutch pressure
control solenoid valves for dust and dirt, and clean
the passage if necessary.
8. Disconnect one of the battery terminals and check
valve movement.
NOTE: You can see the valve movement through
the fluid passage in the mounting surface of the
assembly body (C).
9. If either valve binds, or moves sluggishly, or if the
solenoid does not operate, replace the A/T clutch
pressure control solenoid valves A and B.
