SOLENOID VALVE CHECK

M1231110400127

Required Special Tool:

• MB991958: Scan Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: MUT-III USB Cable

• MB991911: MUT-III Main Harness B

1. Use scan tool MB991958 to measure the transmission fluid

temperature. The desired temperature setting for performing
the solenoid valve check is 20

°C (68°F).

2. Remove the solenoid valve harness and transmission fluid

temperature sensor connector.

3. Measure the resistance between the solenoid valve

terminals.

4. The measured resistance of the solenoid valve when the

transmission fluid temperature is 20

°C (68°F) should match

the specified resistance on the chart below.

STANDARD VALUE:

5. If the solenoid valve resistance is within the specified range,

check the power supply and the ground circuits.

6. If the solenoid valve resistance is not within the specified

range, drain the transmission fluid and remove the valve
body cover.

7. Disconnect the connector of any solenoid valves that are not

within the specified range.

TERMINAL
NO.

8. Measure the resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of any

solenoid valve that was not within the specified range.

Specified resistance:

2.7

− 3.4 Ω [at 20°C (68°F)]

9. If the resistance is not within the specified range, replace the

solenoid valve.

10.If the resistance is within the specified range, check the

wiring harness between the affected A/T control solenoid
valve assembly and the solenoid valve. If a problem is not
found in the above steps, check the solenoid valve O-rings
and replace them if necessary.

REMOVAL SERVICE POINT

.

<<A>> TRANSMISSION CONTROL CABLE ASSEMBLY
REMOVAL
1. Support the transmission mount center member with a

transmission jack, and then remove the transmission mount
center member mounting bolts.

2. Lower the transmission so that there is enough room

available to remove the transmission control cable assembly
mounting nuts, and then remove the transmission control
cable assembly mounting nuts.

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS

.

>>A<< RETAINER INSTALLATION
The bolt lengths differ according to where they are to be
installed, so do not install them in the wrong place.

.

>>B<< TRANSMISSION CONTROL CABLE ASSEMBLY
INSTALLATION
After installing the transmission control cable assembly, install
the transmission mount center member mounting bolts and
tighten them to the specified torque.

Tightening torque: 44

± 10 N⋅m (33 ± 7 ft-lb)

.

>>C<< SHIFT LOCK CABLE UNIT INSTALLATION
1. Temporarily install the selector lever knob, and then move

the selector lever to the "P" position and turn the ignition
switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

2. After installing the rod of the shift lock cable unit to the lock

cam of the selector lever assembly, install the bolts of the
shift lock cable unit.

Tightening torque: 5.0

± 1.0 N⋅m (44 ± 9 in-lb)

3. Check the operation of the selector lever assembly (Refer to

P.23A-549

).
