Solenoids









Removal

1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist.

2. Remove the retainers and the LH splash shield.





3. Remove the transmission fluid drain plug and allow the transmission fluid to drain.





4. Install the transmission fluid drain plug.
- Tighten to 12 Nm (106 lb-in).





5. Disconnect the transaxle electrical connector.





6. Remove the transaxle electrical wiring harness retainers from the transmission fluid pan studbolts.





7. Remove the 2 nuts, pull the transmission fluid cooler tube bracket and tubes away from the transaxle and position it aside.





8. NOTE: Note the location of the stud bolts for assembly.

Remove the 8 bolts, 5 stud bolts and the main control cover.





9. Disconnect the Transmission Range (TR) sensor electrical connector.





10. Disconnect the Output Shaft Speed (OSS) sensor electrical connector.





11. Remove the main control cover grommet.





12. NOTICE: Be careful not to bend or twist the leadframe or the solenoid terminals when removing the leadframe or damage can occur to the leadframe or the solenoids.

Remove the 5 screws and the leadframe from the solenoids by lifting it straight up evenly.





13. Using a paint pen, number the solenoids and solenoid body to clearly mark which solenoid was removed from which bore in the solenoid body.





14. Remove the solenoid retaining pin(s).





15. Remove the solenoid(s) from the solenoid body.

Installation

1. Inspect the solenoid(s) for damage.





2. If a new solenoid is not being installed, install the solenoid(s) into the bore from which it was removed.

3. If installing a new Variable Force Solenoid (VFS), determine the base part number of the solenoid(s). The Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) solenoid, Shift Solenoid A (SSA) and Shift Solenoid C (SSC) are all normally low pressure solenoids. The Line Pressure Control (LPC) solenoid, Shift Solenoid B (SSB) and Shift Solenoid D (SSD) are all normally high pressure solenoids. Shift Solenoid E (SSE) is not a VFS; it is an ON/OFF solenoid.









4. Determine the part number suffix by checking the solenoid service band number etched on the side of the solenoid. The band number is the third digit on the side of the solenoid and will be a 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. Use the following table to determine the part number suffix and match the new solenoid base part number and suffix with the old solenoid.










5. Install the Leadframe Guide Pins in the solenoid body to align the lead frame for installation.





6. Position the leadframe on the Leadframe Guide Pins and carefully install the leadframe by pushing straight down into the solenoids.

7. Remove the Leadframe Guide Pins.

8. Install the 5 leadframe screws.





9. Connect the OSS sensor electrical connector.





10. Connect the TR sensor electrical connector.





11. Install the main control cover grommet.





12. Clean the main control cover sealing surface and inspect for damage.





13. Apply silicone to the main control sealing surface of the transaxle case.





14. Position the main control cover in place.





15. NOTICE: Inspect the main control cover grommet to make sure that the seals is on the inside of the main control cover. Transmission fluid leak will occur.

NOTE: Install the stud bolts in the locations noted during disassembly.

Tighten the 8 main control cover bolts and 5 stud bolts.

- Tighten to 12 Nm (106 lb-in).





16. Position the transmission fluid cooler tube bracket and transmission fluid cooler tube assembly in place and install the 2 nuts.
- Tighten to 9 Nm (80 lb-in).





17. Connect the transaxle electrical connector.





18. Connect the transaxle electrical wiring harness retainers to the transmission fluid pan studbolts.





19. Install the LH splash shield and the retainers.





20. Fill with clean transmission fluid to the correct level.
