solenoid valve Ay'B assembly.
the shift control
Terminalsade ofmale terminals
Measure the resistance between the No. 1 terminal(solenoid valve A) of the shift control solenoid valve
connector and body ground, and between the No. 2terminal (solenoid valve B) and body ground.
STANDARD: 12 - 25 O
Replace the shift control solenoid valve A,/B assem-bly if the resistance is out of specification.
lf the resistance is within the standard. connect theNo, I terminal of the shift control solenoid valveconnector to the battery positive terminal. A clickingsound should be heard. Connect the No. 2 terminalto the battery positive te.minal. A clicking soundshould be heard. Replace the shift control solenoidvalve A/B assembly if no clicking sound is heardwhen either terminal is connected to the battervpositive terminal.

Measure the resistance between the No, 1 and the
No. 2 terminals.
STANDARD: About 5.0 o
lf the resistance is out of specification, replace the
linear solenoid assembly.
Connect the No. 1 terminal of the connector to the
battery positive terminal and the No. 2 terminal to
the battery negative terminal, A clicking sound
should be heard.

lf a clicking sound is not heard, remove the linear
solenoid assembly.
Check the linear solenoid fluid passage for dust or
orn.
Connect the No. 1 terminal of the connector to the
battery positive terminal and the No. 2 te.minal to
the battery negative terminal. Make sure that the
valve moves.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal. and make
sure the valve releases. You can see valve move-
ment through the fluid passage in the mounting
surface of the linear solenoid assembly.

Shift Lock Solenoid Test
SRS components are located in this area. Review the SRS
component locations, precautions, and procedures in the
SRS section (24) before performing repairs or service,
'1. Remove the instrument panel lower cover (see sec-
tion 20).
2. Remove the steering column covers (see section 17).
3. Disconnect the shift lock solenoid 2P connector.
Connect the No. 1 terminal of the shift lock solenoid
connector to the battery positive tgrminal, and con-
nect the No. 2 terminal to the battery nogative ter-
mrnal.
Check that the shift lever can be moved from the E
oosition. Release the batterv terminals from the
shift lock solenoid connector. Move the shift lever
back to the E position, and make sure it locks.
NOTE: Do not connect power to the No. 2 (-) termi-
nal {reverse polarity) or you will damage the diode
inside the solenoid.

6. Check that the shift lock releases when the release
lever is pushed, and check that it locks when the
release lever is released,
7. lf the solenoid does not work, replace it.

Rear Window Defogger
Function Test
1. Check for voltage between the positive terminal andbody ground with the ignition switch and defoggerswitch ON.
There should be battery voltage.
. lf there is no voltage. check for:- faulty defogger relay.- faulty defogger switch.- an open ,n the BLK/BLU, WHT/GRN, BLU/YEL,
or BLK wire.
. lf there is battery voltage, go to step 2.
POSITIVE TERMINAL
Check for continuity between the negative terminaland body ground.
lf there is no continuity, check for an open in thedefogger ground wire.
Touch the voltmeter positive probe to the halfwaypoint of each defogger wire, and the negative probe
to the negative terminal. Be careful not to scratch ordamage the defogger wires with the tester probe.There should be approximately 6 V with the ignitionswitch and the defogger switch ON.
. lf the voltage is as specified, the defogger wire isoK.
. lf the voltage is not as specified, repair the defog-ger wire.- lf it is more than 6 V, there is a break in thenegative half of the wire.- lf it is less than 6 V, there is a break in thepositive half of the wire.

Defogger Wire Repair
NOTE: To make an effective repair, the broken sectionmust be no longer than one inch.
1. Lightly rub the area around the broken section withfine steel wool, then clean it with alcohol.
2. Carefully mask above and below the broken portionof the defogger wire with cellophane tape.
CELLOPHANETAPE
Mix the conductive paint thoroughly. Using a smallbrush, apply a heavy coat of the conductive paint
extending about 1/8" on both sides of the break.Allow 30 minutes to dry.
Check for continuity in the repaired wire.
Apply a second coat of paint in the same way. Let itdry three hours before removing the tape.
