Exam i: Resistance Testing The A/T Clutch Pressure level Solenoid A Or B

How To Test A/T Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid A And B (Honda 2.2L, 2.3L)

The multimeter resistance test, in this test section, applies to both A/T clutch pressure control solenoid A and A/T clutch pressure level control solenoid B since both are tested in the exact aforementioned way (and the resistance spec is the same for both too).

This examination will likewise give you the opportunity to make sure that the solenoid assembly'southward connectors are not broken.

Note: The easiest, fastest mode to test the A/T clutch pressure level control solenoid A or A/T clutch pressure control solenoid B is removing the solenoid assembly off of the car.

OK, this is what you lot need to do:

  1. 1

  2. 2

    Mensurate the resistance between solenoid pins #1 and #2.

    Remember, this test applies to either A/T clutch force per unit area command solenoid A or A/T clutch pressure level control solenoid B.

    NOTE: Clutch pressure command solenoid A'due south connector is brown and clutch pressure control solenoid B's connector is blackness.

  3. 3

    Your multimeter should register approximately five Ohms if the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid is within specification.

Allow's observe out what it all means:

CASE one: The resistance was approximately 5 Ohms. This test event tells yous that the solenoid's internal ringlet is OK.

The next step is to demote-test the A/T clutch pressure command solenoid and employ 12 Volts and Basis to it. For this examination, go to: TEST 2: Manually Applying Power And Basis.

CASE 2: The resistance WAS NOT approximately 5 Ohms. This test result tells you that the A/T clutch force per unit area command solenoid that you're testing is fried and needs to be replaced.

If y'all're testing A/T clutch pressure control solenoid A, and so this test outcome confirms problem code P1768: A/T Clutch Pressure level Control Solenoid A Electrical .

If you're testing A/T clutch pressure control solenoid B, and so this test result confirms trouble code P1773: A/T Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid B Electrical .

Exam 2: Manually Applying Power And Footing To The Solenoid

We can demote examination the clutch force per unit area control solenoid by manually applying ability and Footing to it and seeing if the valve (inside the assembly) moves in a polish/united nations-binding way.

The easiest and safest way to practise this is using a power probe since a power probe lets you lot use both Footing and ability with a click of a button but not everyone has one (not also mention that they're kinda' expensive).

You tin can brand your ain jumper wires and I suggest using alligator clips with safety insulating protectors (see photo iii of 3 in the image viewer).

Using alligator clips with rubber insulating protectors will help you avoid shorting out the jumper wire that'south carrying the juice (from the bombardment) to the solenoid.

OK, this is what you demand to do:

  1. 1

    Connect final #i to battery power of the item solenoid you lot're testing (A or B).

    Annotation 1: Take all safety precautions when applying these 12 Volts to the terminal.

    NOTE 2: Clutch pressure control solenoid A's connector is brown and clutch pressure control solenoid B's connector is black.

  2. 2

    Connect final #ii to Ground of the particular solenoid you lot're testing (A or B).

  3. iii

    You should exist able to run across the valve movement, of the solenoid you lot're testing (inside the assembly) as presently as y'all Ground solenoid terminal #ii (see image 2 of 2 in the image viewer).

    If all is good, the valve (which is visible from the under-side of the assembly) should movement. When yous un-Footing the solenoid, the valve should movement back to its original position.

Let'south meet what your test results hateful:

Instance 1: The A/T clutch pressure control solenoid's valve moved. This is the right and expected test consequence.

If you're still having a A/T clutch pressure command solenoid A or a A/T clutch pressure level control solenoid B trouble lawmaking, take a look at the test suggestions found here: Solenoids Are Good Simply Transmission Still Not Shifting.

Example 2: The A/T clutch pressure control solenoid's valve DID NOT movement or is binding. This test result tells you that the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid yous but got washed testing is fried and needs to be replaced.

If y'all're testing A/T clutch force per unit area control solenoid A, then this test result confirms trouble code P1768: A/T Clutch Force per unit area Control Solenoid A Electrical .

If y'all're testing A/T clutch pressure control solenoid B, and so this test event confirms trouble code P1773: A/T Clutch Pressure level Control Solenoid B Electrical .
