Short-Circuit To Ground
Short-circuit to ground
Checking shift solenoid S1
- Ignition on.
- Gear selector in P.
Activate solenoid S1. Read off the status of the solenoid. The status should alternate between OFF / ON.
Does the status change?
Yes - Intermittent fault
No - Checking the signal cable resistance to ground in the transmission
-------------------------------------------------
Checking the signal cable resistance to ground in the transmission
- Ignition off.
- Disconnect the 6-pin transmission connector.
Connect an ohmmeter between the 6-pin transmission connector terminal 3 (transmission side) and the transmission housing. For further information about the connectors, see Transmission connectors Transmission Connectors.
The ohmmeter should read 12-18 ohms.
OK - Checking for a short-circuit
Not OK - Checking solenoid S1

Checking solenoid S1
- Ignition off.
- Open the control system according to Solenoids, inspection/replacement Removal and Replacement.
- Disconnect solenoid S1.
Connect an ohmmeter between the pin on solenoid S1 and the transmission housing.
The ohmmeter should read 12-18 ohms.
OK - Checking for a short-circuit
Not OK - Replacing the component

Hint: After repairs have been completed they must be verified as follows to ensure that the fault has been eliminated:
- Ignition on.
- Gear selector in P.
Activate solenoid S1. Read off the status of the solenoid. The status should alternate between OFF / ON.
Does the status change?
Yes - VERIFIED
No - VERIFICATION FAILED

Fault-tracing information
The fault should have been detected and remedied. As this is not the case fault-tracing has failed.
Exit fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) or make another attempt.
Do you want to exit fault-tracing?
Yes - Exit fault-tracing
No - Attempt New Test

Fault-tracing information
If the fault is intermittent, do not verify fault-tracing if the fault does not recur.
It is possible to view the information again, or leave fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
