P0970 Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Valve Circuit Low (SL1) - W/Harness Inspection

Terminal and Connector Inspection

1. Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness and terminals. Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage.
2. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage.
3. Has a problem been found?






Signal Circuit Inspection

1. Engine "OFF" IG KEY "OFF".
2. Disconnect solenoid valve connector.
3. Engine "OFF" IG KEY "ON"
4. Measure voltage between "Clutch pressure control solenoid valve (SL1)" terminal and chassis ground.

Specification : Approx. 2 V








5. Is voltage within specifications?






Ground Circuit Inspection
