Shift Solenoid: Service and Repair
A: REMOVAL1. Clean transmission exterior.
2. Drain ATF completely.
NOTE: Tighten ATF drain plug after draining ATF.
Tightening torque: 25 ± 2 Nm (2.5 ± 0.2 kg-m, 18.1 ± 1.4 ft. lbs.)
3. Remove oil pan.
NOTE: Drain oil into a container.
4. Disconnect solenoid and sensor connectors. Remove connectors from clip and disconnect connectors at 8 places.
5. Remove control valve body.
CAUTION: When removing control valve body, be careful not to interfere with transfer duty solenoid C wiring.
NOTE: Be careful because oil flows from valve body.
6. Remove oil strainer.
NOTE: Be careful because oil flows from oil strainer.
7. Remove solenoids and duty solenoids.
B: INSTALLATION
1. Install 7 solenoids and ATF temperature sensor.
Tightening torque:
T: 8 ± 1 Nm (0.8 ± 0.1 kg-m, 5.8 ± 0.7 ft. lbs.)
2. Install oil strainer.
Tightening torque: 8 ± 1 Nm (0.8 ± 0.1 kg-m, 5.8 ± 0.7 ft. lbs.)
3. Install valve body to transmission case.
1. Temporarily tighten the valve body on the transmission case.
CAUTION: When installing control valve body, be careful not to interfere with transfer duty solenoid wiring (brown).
NOTE: Align manual valve connections.
2. Tighten the valve body to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 8 ± 1 Nm (0.8 ± 0.1 kg-m, 5.8 ± 0. 7 ft. lbs.)
4. Connect harness connectors at 8 places. Connect connectors of same color, and secure connectors to valve body using clips.
5. Apply proper amount of liquid gasket (THREE BOND Part No. 1217B) to the entire oil pan mating surface.
6. Install oil pan.
Tightening torque: 4.9 ± 0.5 Nm (0.50 ± 0.05 kg-m, 3.6 ± 0.4 ft. lbs.)
7. Fill ATF up to the middle of the "COLD" side on level gauge by using the gauge hole.
Recommended fluid: Dexron IIE or Dexron III type automatic transmission fluid
Fluid capacity: 9.3 - 9.6 l (9.8 - 10.1 US qt. 8.2 - 8.4 Imp qt.)
8. Run the vehicle until the ATF temperature rises from 60 to 80°C (140 to 176°F) and check the ATF level of the "HOT" side on level gauge.
