STEP 4. Measure the low-reverse solenoid valve resistance
at A/T control solenoid valve assembly connector C-03.
(1) Disconnect connector C-03 and measure at the solenoid

valve side.

(2) Measure the resistance between solenoid valve assembly

connector C-03 terminals 6 and 10.

Resistance value: 2.7

− 3.4 Ω [at 20°C (68°F)]

Q: Is the measured resistance 2.7

− 3.4 Ω [at 20°C (68°F)]?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO : Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Measure the solenoid valve resistance at the
low-reverse solenoid valve connector C-03-6 inside the
transmission.
(1) Disconnect solenoid valve connector C-03-6 and measure

at the solenoid valve side.

(2) Measure the resistance between low-reverse solenoid

valve terminals 1 and 2.

Resistance value: 2.7

− 3.4 Ω [at 20°C (68°F)]

Q: Is the measured resistance 2.7

− 3.4 Ω [at 20°C (68°F)?

YES : Replace the harness wire between A/T control

solenoid valve assembly connector C-03 and the
solenoid valves.

NO : Replace the low-reverse solenoid valve. Refer to

STEP 6. Check A/T control solenoid valve assembly
connector C-03, PCM connector D-136 and intermediate
connector E-114 for loose, corroded or damaged
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
Q: Are the connectors and terminals in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 7.
NO : Repair or replace the damaged components. Refer to

STEP 7. Check the harness for an open or short circuit to
ground between A/T control solenoid valve assembly
connector C-03 terminal 6 and PCM connector D-136
terminal 128.
Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : Replace the PCM.
NO : Repair or replace the harness wire.

STEP 8. Measure the supply voltage at A/T control
solenoid valve assembly connector C-03 by backprobing.
(1) Do not disconnect solenoid valve assembly harness

connector C-03.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3) Measure the voltage between harness connector C-03

terminal 10 and ground by backprobing.

• The voltage should equal battery positive voltage.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the measured voltage battery positive voltage?

YES : Go to Step 11.
NO : Go to Step 9.
