Shift Solenoid Valve Replacement

Replacement





1. Remove the drain plug (A), and drain the Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF).
2. Reinstall the drain plug with a new sealing washer (B).
3. Place the transmission jack under the transmission, and lift it up to create clearance between the transmission and front sub-frame.





4. Remove the bolt (A) securing the bracket (B) of the ATF cooler inlet line (C) on the shift solenoid valve cover (D), and remove the line bolt (E) with sealing washers (F).
5. Remove the shift solenoid valve cover, gasket (G), and dowel pins (H).
6. Disconnect the shift solenoid valve connectors.
7. Remove the bolts, and hold the shift solenoid valve body, then remove them. Do not hold the connector to remove.





8. Install the new O-rings (two per solenoid valve) (F) on the replacement solenoid valve.
9. Install shift solenoid valve C, D, and E. While holding the shift solenoid valve body, be sure to install the solenoid valves until their mounting bolt brackets contact the servo body.
10. Install shift solenoid valve A and B. While holding the shift solenoid valve body, be sure to install the solenoid valves until their mounting bolt brackets contact the bracket of installed solenoid. Do not install the shift solenoid valve A and B before installing the shift solenoid valve D and E. If solenoid valve A and B are installed before solenoid valves D and E, it may damage the hydraulic control system.
11. Connect the shift solenoid valve D connector (G) with the ATF temperature sensor.
12. Connect the solenoid valve A connector (BLU wire), solenoid valve B connector (ORN wire), solenoid valve C connector (GRN wire), and solenoid valve E connector (RED wire).
13. Install the shift solenoid valve cover with a new gasket and dowel pins.
14. Install the ATF cooler inlet line with the line bolt and new sealing washers. Create clearance with the transmission jack between the transmission and the front sub-frame to tighten the line bolt with the torque wrench.
15. Install the bracket of the ATF cooler inlet line on the shift solenoid valve cover with the bolt.
16. Remove the transmission jack.
17. Refill the transmission with the recommended fluid.
