Solenoid Valves In Valve Body, Checking

Recommended special tools and equipment
- VAG1526 multimeter or VAG1715 multimeter
- VAG1594 connector test kit
- Wiring diagram

Test requirements
- Respective fuses in fuse box (instrument panel, right) must be OK:
- Selector lever must be in - P - position.
- Ground (GND) connections to transmission must be OK.
- Ignition switched off.

Test sequence







- Disconnect 14-pin harness connector - arrow 2 - to solenoid valves (Solenoid Valve 1 - N88- to Solenoid Valve 6 - N93 -, Solenoid Valve 9 - N282 -, Solenoid Valve 10 - N283 -).

Checking resistance







- Check resistances of solenoid valves at connector to the solenoid valves:







NOTE: Resistance value is valid at approx. 20 degrees C. At higher temperatures, resistance value increases.

If one of the specified values is not obtained:
- Replace the respective solenoid valve.
- Erase DTC memory of Transmission Control Module (TCM). Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory
- Generate readiness code. Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes

If specified values are obtained:
- Check wires according to wiring diagram.

Checking wiring
- Connect test box to control module wiring harness. Connecting Test Box For Wiring Test
- Check wires between test box and 14-pin connector to Transmission Control Module (TCM) for open circuit according to wiring diagram.












- Also check wires for short circuit to each other.

Specified value: infinity ohms.

If no malfunctions are found in wires:
- Replace Transmission Control Module (TCM) - J217 -.
