Check solenoid resistance
1. Jack up the vehicle.
2. Remove oil pan.
3. Disconnect solenoid connector.
Measure resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of sole-
noid connector.
Resistance: 3.5 ± 3.9

Check solenoid operation
Connect positive  lead with an 8 ± 10 W bulb to termi-
nal 1 of solenoid connector and negative  lead to ter-
minal 2, then check the movement of the valve.
Reference
Check solenoid operation
1. Prepare a variable power supply.
2. Connect positive  lead of the variable power sup-
ply to terminal 1 of solenoid connector and negative
 lead to terminal 2.
3. Check the movement of the valve when the voltage is gradually increased. (A current greater than 1 A
should not be supplied.)
As the voltage is increased, the valve should move
slowly in the direction.
4. Check the movement of the valve when the voltage is cut off.
The valve should return in the direction.
Replace No. 3 solenoid valve.

2. HYDRAULIC CONTROL SYSTEMThe hydraulic control system is composed of the oil pump, the valve body, the solenoid valves, the accumu-
lators, the clutches and brakes, as well as the fluid passages which connect al\
l of these components.
Based on the hydraulic pressure created by the oil pump, the hydraulic control system governs the hydrau-
lic pressure acting on the torque converter clutch, clutches and brakes \
in accordance with the vehicle driv-
ing conditions.
There are 4 solenoid valves on the valve body.
The No.1 and No.2 solenoid valves are turned on and off by signals from the ECM to operate the shift
valves, and change the gear shift position.
The No.3 solenoid valve is operated by signals from the ECM to engage or di\
sengage the lock±up clutch
of the torque converter clutch.
The No.4 solenoid valve is operated by signals from the ECM to control the \
engagement speed and reduce
gear shift shock.
