2. INSPECT SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID
(a) Disconnect the solenoid connector.
(b) Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between termi-
nals.
Standard resistance: 29 - 35 W
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the solenoid.
(c) Supply battery positive voltage between terminals. Check
that an operation noise can be heard from the solenoid.
If the solenoid does not operate, replace the solenoid.

TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH
AND DRIVE PLATE
INSPECTION
1. INSPECT ONE-WAY CLUTCH
(a) Install SST into the inner race of the one-way clutch.
SST 09350-32014 (09351-32010)
(b) Install SST so that it fits in the notch of the converter clutch
hub and outer race of the one-way clutch.
SST 09350-32014 (09351-32020)
(c) With the torque converter clutch standing on its side, the
clutch locks when turned counterclockwise, and rotates
freely and smoothly clockwise.
If necessary, clean the converter and retest the clutch.
Replace the converter if the clutch still fails the test.
2. MEASURE DRIVE PLATE RUNOUT AND INSPECT
RING GEAR
(a) Set up a dial indicator, and measure the drive plate run-
out.
(b) Check the damage of the ring gear.
Maximum runout: 0.20 mm (0.0079 in.)
If the runout is not within the specification or ring gear is dam-
aged, replace the drive plate.
Torque: 83 N´m (850 kgf´cm, 61 ft´lbf)
