TERMINAL RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS CHART

Pin no.	Name	Resistance
1	Damper clutch solenoid valve	2.7 ~ 3.4Ω (20°C (68°F))
2	Shift control solenoid valve A	22.3 ± 1.5Ω (20°C (68°F))
3	Shift control solenoid valve B	22.3 ± 1.5Ω (20°C (68°F))
4	Pressure control solenoid valve B	2.7 ~ 3.4Ω (20°C (68°F))
5	Pressure control solenoid valve A	2.7 ~ 3.4Ω (20°C (68°F))
6	Shift control solenoid valve C	22.3 ± 1.5Ω (20°C (68°F))

If the result isn't within the standard value, remove the valve body cover.
Measure the resistance after removing the solenoid valve connector.
