RX8--Transmission (Manual & Auto)

Disconnect the solenoid valve connector.

Measure the resistance between the

following solenoid valve connector

terminals.

(See SOLENOID VALVE INSPECTION .)

• Terminals EJ (shift solenoid A)


• Terminals FJ (shift solenoid B)


• Terminals HJ (shift solenoid C)


• Terminals IJ (shift solenoid F)


• Terminals GJ (TCC solenoid)

Are the resistances normal?

No

Inspect for open circuit in the malfunctioning

solenoid related wiring harnesses.

• If the wiring harnesses are okay, inspect if
  the solenoids are stuck mechanically.

Yes Go to the next step.

7

Inspect for continuity between the

following solenoid valve connector

terminals.

(See OIL PRESSURE SWITCH

INSPECTION .)

• Terminals BJ (oil pressure switch
  B)


• Terminals AJ (oil pressure switch
  C)


• Terminals LJ (oil pressure switch
  F)

Are the continuity normal?

No

Inspect for open circuit in the malfunctioning

pressure switch related wiring harnesses.

• If the wiring harnesses are okay, inspect if
  the pressure switch are stuck mechanically.

8

Remove the torque converter.

Inspect the torque converter.
