Electrical System
If the transmission is not shifting properly, the 
transmission shift control switch/travel select lever (1), 
dash panel, wiring harness or transmission shift 
solenoids should be checked in order to determine which 
component is defective. Specific information to determine 
which travel position and corresponding component is not 
responding can be found by referring to Section 9.9.1, 
“Transmission, Forward - First Gear Circuit,” and 
subsequent circuits and troubleshooting charts. Replace 
a defective component.
a. Travel Select Lever and Wiring Harness Testing
Note: An assistant will be required to be seated and 
operate the travel select lever in order to perform the 
following test.
1. Disconnect the wire harness connector plugs (12)
from all of the transmission solenoid valve 
bodies (13). Turn the ignition switch to the 
RUN position. 
Note: In order to perform the solenoid test, the Parking 
Brake Switch must be in the OFF position.
2. Have an assistant place the transmission shift
control switch/travel select lever (1) in the position 
that is not functioning correctly. 
3. Check the harness side connector plugs on the
active solenoids corresponding to the direction and 
gear that has been selected with a DMM for battery 
voltage. Refer to the chart that follows. Place the 
negative (-) lead on pin B (ground) (14) and the 
positive (+) lead on the pin A (15), and test for 
battery voltage. If battery voltage is not present on 
any of the pins that have been tested, the wiring 
harness is suspect and should be replaced. If 
battery voltage is present, the harness is functioning 
properly.
Note: The following chart shows which solenoids are 
active with any given selection of the transmission shift 
control switch/travel select lever (1), and gear select 
position.
b. Transmission Solenoid Testing
Inspect each solenoid connector plug (16). Test across 
the two pins inside the connector for continuity and 
shorting. Each solenoid should have between 10.0 and 
15.0 ohms of resistance when testing with an ohmmeter. 
Replace a defective solenoid valve. Refer to Section 
9.14.9, c. “Transmission Solenoid Valve Removal.”
