I’m working through the A/T Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Valve A/B Assembly test procedure listing in the Honda Service Manual (HSM), followed by the Lock-up Control Solenoid Valve - Shift Control Solenoid Valve A Assembly test. My question concerns resistance readings on one of the assemblies.

HSM lists normal resistance for both assemblies. The resistance on the lock-up control solenoid valve is well within the acceptable range. However, resistance of the a/t clutch pressure control solenoid valve a/b is ~6Ω on both solenoids—HSM says it should be "Approximately 5Ω".

I interpret ~6Ω resistance across both solenoids in the a/t clutch pressure control solenoid valve a/b assembly as high, and I was about to order a replacement. But it’s only ~1Ω over spec and I’d hate to order a part that doesn’t require replacement.

Thought? Opinions?

 

Think the linear solenoids is not that specific, in the book its something like 'about 5Ω' without any tolerance given. So if it is anywhere from 3-7Ω I wouldn't be worried.
What is the resistance of the leads of your meter?
Set it to Ω put the leads together and see what the reading is.

 

Negligible. But I track with you.
