Solenoid Body Assembly

Solenoid Body Assembly

Removal

1. NOTE: When the battery is disconnected or a new battery installed, certain transmission operating parameters can be lost. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) must relearn these parameters. During this learning process, you may experience slightly firm shifts, delayed, or early shifts. This operation is considered normal and will not affect the function of the transmission. Normal operation will return once these parameters are stored by the PCM.

Disconnect the battery ground cable.
2. Raise and support the vehicle.





3. Drain the transmission fluid.





4. Remove the converter housing plug.





5. Remove the drain plug.





6. Remove the shift cable bracket.





7. NOTE: Clean the area around connector to prevent contamination of the solenoid body connector.

Disconnect the transmission connector.





8. Disconnect the digital Transmission Range (TR) sensor connector.





9. NOTE: The transmission fluid pan gasket is reusable. Clean and inspect for damage. If not damaged, the gasket should be reused.

Remove the transmission fluid pan and gasket.





10. Remove the transmission fluid filter.





11. Disconnect the reverse pressure switch connector.





12. Remove the solenoid body.

Installation





1. Install new O-ring seals on the solenoid body connector. Lubricate the O-ring seals with clean automatic transmission fluid.





2. CAUTION: Inspect the transmission case bore to make sure it is free of foreign material and not damaged. If damaged, a transmission leak can result.

Install the solenoid body. Tighten the bolts in sequence shown.





3. Connect the reverse pressure switch connector.





4. CAUTION: Lubricate the fluid filter O-ring seals with clean automatic transmission fluid or seals may be damaged.

NOTE: Make sure that the fluid filter O-ring seals are correctly seated on the filter.

Lubricate the seals and install the transmission fluid filter.





5. NOTE: The transmission fluid pan gasket is reusable. Clean and inspect for damage. If not damaged, the gasket should be reused.

Install the transmission fluid pan and gasket and loosely install the screws.





6. Using a crisscross sequence, tighten the screws.





7. Reconnect the digital TR sensor connector.





8. NOTE: A new converter drain plug must be used to prevent leakage.

Install the drain plug.





9. Install the converter housing access plug.





10. CAUTION: Damage to the solenoid body assembly can result if the screw is tightened above the specification.

NOTE: Always install new O-ring seals on vehicle harness connector.

NOTE: Clean the area around connector to prevent contamination of the solenoid body connector.

NOTE: Use petroleum jelly to lubricate the O-ring seals to aid in the installation process.

Install and lubricate new O-ring seals on the transmission connector and connect the connector.





11. Install the shift cable bracket.
12. Install the exhaust.

13. NOTE: When the battery is disconnected or a new battery installed, certain transmission operating parameters can be lost. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) must relearn these parameters. During this learning process, you may experience slightly firm shifts, delayed, or early shifts. This operation is considered normal and will not affect the function of the transmission. Normal operation will return once these parameters are stored by the PCM.

Connect the battery ground cable.
14. Fill the transmission to the correct fluid level and check for correct transmission operation.
