Shift Solenoid Valve A, B, and C, Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Valve Test/Replacement
Shift Solenoid Valve A, B, and C, Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Valve Test/Replacement
1. Connect the HDS to the DLC (A).
2. Choose Shift Solenoid A, B, C, and Lockup Solenoid Test in Miscellaneous Test Menu on the HDS.
3. Check that the shift solenoid valve A, B, C, and the torque converter clutch solenoid valve operate with the HDS. A clicking sound should be heard.
^ If a clicking sound is heard, the valves are OK.
^ If no clicking sound is heard, go to step 4.
4. The solenoid test has finished if the tests are OK. If no sound is heard, remove the solenoid valve, and test the solenoid valve.
5. Get the customer's radio (and navigation) anti-theft codes, and write down the audio presets.
6. Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery, then disconnect the positive terminal.
7. Remove the battery hold-down bracket, and remove the battery and battery tray.
8. Remove the intake manifold cover and air intake duct.
9. Remove the battery base and battery base bracket.
10. Remove the nuts securing the shift cable bracket (A).
11. Remove the spring clip/washer (B) and control pin (C), then separate the shift cable end (D) from the control lever (E).
12. Remove the bolt securing the harness cover (A).
13. Remove the harness clamp (B) from the harness cover/clamp bracket (C), disconnect the 4th clutch transmission fluid pressure switch connector (D), then remove the harness cover from the bracket.
14. Disconnect the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A connector (E), A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve B connector (F), solenoid harness connector, transmission range switch connector, ATF temperature sensor connector, output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor connector, input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor connector, and 3rd clutch transmission fluid pressure switch connector.
15. Remove the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A and B, ATF pipes (C), and gasket (D). Note the lengths and locations of the ATF pipes.
16. Replace the gasket and O-rings (E) with new ones when installing the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A and B.
17. Remove the solenoid valve cover (A), dowel pins (B), and gasket (C).
18. Replace the gasket with a new one when installing the solenoid cover.
19. Disconnect shift solenoid valve A connector, shift solenoid valve B connector, shift solenoid valve C connector, and torque converter clutch solenoid valve connector (D).
20. Measure the resistance of each solenoid valve between the connector terminal and body ground.
Standard: 12 - 25 Ohms
^ Replace the solenoid valve if the resistance is out of standard.
^ If the resistance is within the standard, go to step 21.
21. Connect the negative battery terminal to body ground, and connect the positive battery terminal to each solenoid terminal individually.
^ If a clicking sound is heard, go to step 22 and replace the solenoid harness.
^ If no clicking sound is heard, go to step 23 and replace the shift solenoid valve.
22. Remove the solenoid harness, and install a new O-ring (A) on the solenoid harness connector (B), and install the connector in the transmission housing.
23. Remove the mounting bolts, then remove the solenoid valves.
24. Install new O-rings (E) on each solenoid valves.
NOTE: A new solenoid valve comes with new O-rings. If you install a new solenoid valve, use the O-rings. provided on it.
25. Install shift solenoid valve B (black connector) by holding the shift solenoid valve body; make sure the mounting bracket contacts the accumulator body.
NOTE: Do not hold the solenoid valve connector to install the solenoid valve. Be sure to hold the solenoid valve body.
26. Install torque converter clutch solenoid valve (D) (black connector) by holding the solenoid valve body; make sure the mounting bracket contacts the accumulator body.
27. Install shift solenoid valve C (brown connector) by holding the shift solenoid valve body; make sure the mounting bracket contacts the bracket of torque converter clutch solenoid valve.
NOTE: Do not install shift solenoid valve C before installing torque converter clutch solenoid valve. If shift solenoid valve C is installed before installing torque converter clutch solenoid valve, it may damage to hydraulic control system.
28. Install shift solenoid valve A (brown connector) by holding the shift solenoid valve body; make sure the mounting bracket contacts the accumulator body.
29. Connect RED harness terminal to shift solenoid valve A, ORN harness terminal to shift solenoid valve B, GRN harness terminal to shift solenoid valve C, and YEL harness terminal to torque converter clutch solenoid valve.
30. Install the shift solenoid valve cover, dowel pins, and a new gasket.
31. Install the new solenoid valve body gasket on the solenoid valve cover, and install the ATF pipes with the filter end in the transmission housing. Install new O-rings over the ATF pipes.
32. Install A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A and B.
33. Install the harness cover on the cover bracket, and secure it with the bolt.
34. Check the connectors for rust, dirt, or oil, clean or repair if necessary, then connect the connectors securely. Install the harness clamp on the bracket.
35. Attach the shift cable and to the control lever, then insert the control pin into the control lever hole through the shift cable end, and secure the control pin with the spring clip/washer.
36. Secure the shift cable bracket with the nuts.
37. Install the battery base bracket and battery base.
38. Install the air intake duct and intake manifold cover.
39. Install the battery tray, battery, and battery hold down bracket, then connect the battery terminals.
40. Enter the radio and navigation anti-theft codes, then enter the audio presets, and set the clock.
41. Do the power window control unit reset procedure.
