- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect the solenoid harness connector (8P).
- Measure the resistance between solenoid harness connector terminals No. 4 and No. 8.
SOLENOID HARNESS CONNECTOR (8P)
Terminal side of male terminals
Is the resistance 3.8-6.8 ohm;?
YES - Go to step 7.
NO - Go to step 4.
- Remove the lower valve body assembly.
- Disconnect the solenoid harness from CVT start clutch pressure control valve assembly connector (2P).
- Measure the resistance between connector terminals at the solenoid connector (2P).
CVT START CLUTCH PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY CONNECTOR (2P)
Terminal side of male terminals
Is the resistance 3.8-6.8 ohm;?
YES - Replace the solenoid harness. 
NO - Replace the CVT start clutch pressure control valve assembly.
- Disconnect PCM connectors B (24P) and C (22P).
- Check for continuity between PCM connector terminal B16 and body ground and between C8 and body ground.
PCM CONNECTORS
Wire side of female terminals
Is there continuity?
YES - Repair short in the wire between PCM connector terminal B16 and solenoid harness connector (8P), or between C8 and solenoid harness connector (8P).
NO - Go to step 9.
- Reconnect solenoid harness connector (8P).
- Measure the resistance between PCM connector terminals B16 and C8.
PCM CONNECTORS
Wire side of female terminals
Is the resistance 3.8-6.8 ohm;?
YES - Check for loose terminal fit in the PCM connectors. If necessary, substitute a known-good PCM and recheck.
NO - Repair loose terminals or open in the wires between PCM connector terminals B16 and C8 and the CVT start clutch pressure control valve assembly.
