Shift Solenoid Valve Replacement (A/T)




Shift Solenoid Valve 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 a transmission jack under the transmission, and lift it up to create clearance between the transmission and front subframe.






4. Remove the shift solenoid valve cover (A), the gasket (B), and the dowel pins (C).






5. Disconnect the shift solenoid valve connectors, remove the solenoid mounting bolts, then hold the solenoid valve body and remove the shift solenoid valves. Do not hold the connector to remove the shift solenoid valve.

6. Install new O-rings (two O-rings per shift solenoid valve) (F) on the shift solenoid valve.
NOTE: A new shift solenoid valve comes with new O-rings. If you install a new shift solenoid valve, use the O-rings provided with it.

7. Install shift solenoid valves C, D, and E. While holding the shift solenoid valve body, be sure to install the solenoid valves until their mounting brackets contact the servo body.

8. Install shift solenoid valves A and B. While holding the shift solenoid valve body, be sure to install the shift solenoid valves until their mounting brackets contact the bracket of the installed solenoid. Install the solenoid mounting bolts (H) and tighten them.
NOTE: Do not install shift solenoid valves A and B before installing shift solenoid valves D and E. If shift solenoid valves A and B are installed before shift solenoid valves D and E, it may damage the hydraulic control system.

9. Connect the shift solenoid valve D connector (G) with the ATF temperature sensor.

10. Connect the shift solenoid valve A connector (BLU wire), shift solenoid valve B connector (ORN wire), shift solenoid valve C connector (GRN wire), and shift solenoid valve E connector (RED wire).

11. Install the shift solenoid valve cover, dowel pins and a new gasket.

12. Check the connector for rust, dirt, or oil, then connect the connector securely.

13. Remove the transmission jack.

14. Refill the transmission with ATF. ATF Replacement
