20 °C

11 to 15 Ω
Text in Illustration

*a

Component without harness connected

(Shift Solenoid Valve SR)

(b) Apply 12 V battery voltage to the shift solenoid valve and check that the valve moves and makes an operating noise.

OK:

Measurement Condition

Specified Condition
  • Battery positive (+) → Shift solenoid valve SR connector
  • Battery negative (-) → Shift solenoid valve SR body

Valve moves and makes an operating noise

If the result is not as specified, replace the solenoid valve.
