6. Measure A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve B resistance between the solenoid valve B terminals 

No. 1 and No. 2, and measure A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C resistance between the 
solenoid valve C terminals No. 1 and No. 2. 

Standard: 3-10 ohm  

7. If the resistance of either A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve is out of standard, replace the A/T 

clutch pressure control solenoid valves B and C.  

8. Connect the battery positive terminal to the No. 1 terminal of the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid

valves B and C connectors, and connect the battery negative terminal to the No. 2 terminal. A clicking 
sound should be heard.  

9. If no sound is heard, remove the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves B and C.  

10. Check the fluid passage of the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve for dust or dirt.  

11. Connect the No. 1 terminal of the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves B and C connectors to the 

battery positive terminal, and connect the No. 2 terminal to the battery negative terminal. Make sure the 
A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves B and C move.
