STEP 4. Measure the torque converter clutch 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 7 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 
torque converter clutch solenoid valve connector C-03-4 
inside the transmission.
(1) Disconnect solenoid valve connector C-03-4 and measure 

at the solenoid valve side.

(2) Measure the resistance between torque converter clutch 

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 torque converter clutch solenoid valve.

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 

GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection

STEP 7. Check the harness for an open or short circuit to 
ground between A/T control solenoid valve assembly 
connector C-03 terminal 7 and PCM connector D-136 
terminal 130.
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.
