2-3 Shift Solenoid Valve Replacement



2-3 Shift Solenoid Valve Replacement

Removal Procedure

Important: Retainer clips hold in each of the valve line-ups. Use a small screwdriver in order to remove the retainer clips. Be careful not to score the valve body when removing the retainer clips and valves. Before removing the valve line-ups, inspect each valve line-up for freedom of movement.




1. Remove the transmission side cover.
2. Remove the 2-3 shift solenoid retainer clip (304), the 2-3 shift solenoid (305) with O-ring (303), the 2-3 shift valve (307), and the 2-3 shift valve spring (306).

Installation Procedure




1. Install the 2-3 shift valve spring (306), the 2-3 shift valve (307), the 2-3 shift solenoid (305) with O-ring (303) and the 2-3 shift solenoid retainer clip (304).
2. Install the transmission side cover.

Important: It is recommended that transmission adaptive pressure (TAP) information be reset.

Resetting the TAP values using a scan tool will erase all learned values in all cells. As a result, The ECM, PCM or TCM will need to relearn TAP values. Transmission performance may be affected as new TAP values are learned.

3. Reset the TAP values. Refer to Transmission Adaptive Functions.
