How To Test A transmission Solenoid On 2001 Honda Accord 4 Cylinder

[@arthurdent5903]

FYI.....The resistance measurement is in OHM's and you are reading about 12 to 15 ohms. The solenoid that's bad has a open circuit or infinite resistance.

[@donaldlaird7924]

Thank you so much... very clear and easy to understand.... all mine checked out... gonna try different TCM.... but good video guy

donald laird thanks and good luck!!!

I also have a ford taurus 2002 which goes back very well but starts going front and stops too

[@matt7iron]

Thanks for the video, i got a yr 2000 accord leuv with slipping issues and after tranny flush with OEM fluid and Lubegurd its a lot better but i can still feel hesitation on 2nd to 3rd, so im going to test all Solenoids, i know about that 17 mm screw to get to the 10mm bolt on top solenoid, thanks again for the video

[@mattgoodman6161]

Couldn't you just leave the solenoids on the car and check them with voltage and resistance? Alligator clips help and you can then touch the probe tips and voltage wires directly to said clips

[@Rap5005]

thats what im about to do lol. seems so much easier off lol but then again hes not as smart as us...

[@RobertoSantiagoRodriguez]

Thanks for the great video! I have one solenoid right next to the throttle body all by itself and it gets very hot. Hotter than the top of the valve covers. Is that normal?

[@dlouis1830]

Bengal, can you test this while solenoids are on the car? Much appreciated and the best video for this.

[@BengalTiger]

I never tried testing it without taking it out. If you disconnect the wiring you may be able to it. It’s easy to take out. I suggest take it out and test it.

I just want to scream at the guy, watching him test these solenoids. Has he never heard of alligator clips?

[@jimblu86]

Haha the first thing he should have done is spend 1-2 dollars on alligator clips

[@ak15942006]

Do you know what he had for breakfast? No?, Exactly! Common sense tells me that you don't KNOW Anything about the guy in the video. Therefore, you can't know the reason why he's not using alligator clips! But you felt the need to write such a comment. The gentleman in the video appears to be WORKING, using reasoning and logic! (to make something better) In CONTRAST, you are looking at a computer screen and writing offensive comments! Did you invest a lot of time and money into teaching that guy to do what he was doing? No! But you want to yell at him? What gives you that authority over someone? He got this far without your "helpful" tips, I assure you, you don't have to worry about him. Lastly, there aren't very many reasons people would watch this video. Logic and common sense tells me that no less than 90% of the people that watched this video, did so, to learn something. ("students") And you among them! I am also willing to bet that the guy recorded this video to TEACH people something. I wrote this comment to possibly educate, not insult. LEAVE THE TEACHING TO THE TEACHERS.

The real issue is that we have too much time on our hands to be able to watch a youtube video and comment that the guy didnt do the test the way i wanted him to and i too am waiting my time commenting on this comment. Maybe we can all learn that we our waiting our precious time and go for a walk or spend time with a loved one, anything but this, anything, please guys.

[@humbertoestrada8948]

I have an 02 accord 2.3. My transmission won't shift to overdrive. At 60mph I'm at 3000 rpm. Is this a solenoid problem or a transmission rebuild problem

[@RahulSharma-oc2qd]

Solenoids with resistance over 15/16ohm, ain’t they for torque converter? No?

[@RaieR27]

In my case the solenoid A, the resistance is correct but the click is different, one is heard a solid and strong click and the other is weak, although if it does, is this a signal to replace it or does it continue to function correctly despite this fact?

[@itsjiraheta]

If its a weak sound that means its bad. It has to be a strong sound. Chances are that selenoid its on its last legs.

[@Familyfun0811]

Good

[@user-mc6qm2si6l]

My dear brother, I have a Honda Honda Jazz automatic in 2004 where the automatic transmission, the car sirens and the appearance of the D sign are separated, can you help me solve the problem?

[@cameronhanes7658]

If you were to change one of the solenoids say the one w the 131 number on it would you drain the transmission fluid then fill it once it’s in? Or does it really matter

[@dlouis1830]

Sorry I’m late to the party, the solenoid has little to do with transmission fluid level, when changing mine it didn’t even leak so don’t worry about that just top it off and check your level if for some reason some comes out

[@jeffmurphy4393]

my Honda Accord D light is flashing .now it won't go forward or in reverse could this be one of the sincer?God I hope so! can't afford a new transmission.

[@tuffguy11505]

My D4 light started flashing and the check engine light came on. The two codes that came up was p0700 (tcs), and p0753 (shift solenoid A). I tested for ohms, as well as seeing if both solenoids had power (clicking). Both tests passed. I unplugged the connector that plugs in to harness, cleaned it, and made sure the wires weren't loose on the connector (pushed them firmly against plug). After I messed with the wires/connector, I started the car, and the check engine light was still on but the flashing D4 light was off. I ordered a new shift solenoid to see if the problem goes away. If problem remains, then the problem will be with the connector, plug, or wiring attached to the harness that the solenoid plugs into. This is what I'm dealing with. 2000 Honda Prelude.

[@jaymorgan368]

@@tuffguy11505 any luck?

[@tuffguy11505]

@@jaymorgan368 It turned out the connector to that solenoid was the issue. The harness side of the connector wasn't making contact as it should. There is two pins on solenoid connector that should make contact with plug. One of which was bent, possibly by myself during one of the numerous times I disconnected the plug. I straightened the pin with a tiny pick to ensure it made contact with connector. The flashing d4 went away. It came back weeks later and so did the code. Looked into this plug again and that's when I realized the connector on harness side had a blueish color on connector pins itself. So I took the connector apart completely, exposing the wire and pin from the plastic housing itself. The pin on wire end was oxidized and it spread throughout the wire up the insulation. I tried to clean wire and connector with vinegar, then baking soda (plenty videos you can watch on this) but after putting it back together it got worse, probably because the wire wasn't dry thoroughly. Took it back apart but the blue oxidation wasn't gone entirely. The wires themselves we're no longer making a solid connection is what I concluded. So I ordered a new connector/wiring and replaced it by cutting wire up high and resoldering it to original harness. That fixed the issue. Hope this helps.

[@jaymorgan368]

@@tuffguy11505 oh ok, i have 2000 odyssey and its always shifted kind of hard in reverse but recently going into second it wouldnt catch so i cleaned out the linear solenoid and a couple other ones (cant recall the names) and it seemed to work better but still, it takes a bit longer to shift. I still have another solenoid to clean out and change transmission fluid. Not flush but change. I also had installed a transmission cooler a while back and that worked for the best part. Come to think of it, it started acting up when the weather changed....hmmm

[@tuffguy11505]

@@jaymorgan368 My prelude has 160k miles. Though I've fixed the wiring issues I found, I read the clutch packs go bad on these transmissions not to mention the transmissions themselves are not reliable altogether. When it starts giving me trouble again, im going to get a used, low-mileage (so they claim) trans and do the swap. They go for $450-$550 around me in CA. If it lasts me 2+ years, that'll save me money instead of going to a shop and paying at the very least $1,200 and given a 2 year warranty. Most people go several years with them if not longer. You cant sleep on the maintenance. Unfortunately, when buying an older Honda like a lot of us do, they tend to have had multiple owners who don't maintain them as they should have. Good luck with yours.

[@jayhonda6498]

Is it possible that it could click but resistance is low?

[@BengalTiger]

Jay Honda resistance should be at least 12 amp

[@fernandof9808]

Iam getting 31 ohms is thst good?

[@tuffguy11505]

31 ohms doesn't seem normal. Depends on which solenoid you're testing. The shift solenoid should be between 12-25 ohms, and the dual linear solenoid should be at 5 ohms. Not sure about the rest, look it up.

[@azeezseazey5305]

It depends on the specific value (of low) you are talking about. Nevertheless, the resistance may be kow and still click. The lower resistance will indicate more current drawn which in Electrical world may indicate more powerful Solenoid or a worse case, your solenoid coil is about to burn. In all, you should know a range to expect (usually between 12 - 25 Ohms) as per OEM specs
