Resistance/Continuity

TESTER INSTALLATION
- Access the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and connect the breakout box.

RESISTANCE/CONTINUITY TEST
1. Set the multimeter on Ohms range.
2. Connect the positive (red) lead of the multimeter to the corresponding breakout box pin of the appropriate solenoid.
3. Connect the negative (black) lead of the multimeter to breakout box pin 24,51,77, or 103 for chassis ground.
4. Perform the following resistance measurements:
Solenoid (Breakout Box Pin): Resistance
SS1 (27): 13-27 ohms
SS2 (01): 13-27 ohms
SS3 (53): 13-27 ohms
TCC (54): 13-27 ohms

If the resistance is not as specified, refer to Pinpoint Test A (SS1, SS2, or SS3) or Pinpoint Test C (TCC). Otherwise, perform the Solenoid Operation Test.
