Continuously Variable Transmission

1. Disconnect the 8P connector from the solenoid harness connector.
2. Measure the resistance of the shift control linear solenoid between the No. 3 and No. 7 terminals of the solenoid harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance of the PH-PL control linear solenoid between the No. 2 and No. 6 terminals.
4. Measure the resistance of the start clutch control linear solenoid between the No. 4 and No. 8 terminals.

STANDARD: 3.8 - 6.8 Ohms

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

STANDARD: 11.7 - 21.0 Ohms

6. Replace the lower valve body assembly if any of the solenoids resistance is beyond the standard.
7. If all of the resistances are within the standard, check for a clicking sound should when connecting the battery terminals to the solenoid harness connector terminals below:




- Shift control linear solenoid
No. 3: Battery positive terminal
No. 7: Battery negative terminal
- PH-PL control linear solenoid
No. 2: Battery positive terminal
No. 6: Battery negative terminal
- Start clutch control linear solenoid
No. 4: Battery positive terminal
No. 8: Battery negative terminal
- Inhibitor solenoid
No. 5: Battery positive terminal
Body ground: Battery negative terminal

8. If no clicking sound is heard, replace the lower valve body assembly.

NOTE: If the lower valve body assembly replacement is required, see Lower Valve Body Assembly Replacement.
