All Vehicles
The ATF pipes -2- cannot remain attached to the mechatronic, because these would otherwise block the removal.
Always replace the seals -3 and 4-.
-- Carefully pull the ATF filter to the rear and off the Mechatronic in direction of -arrow-.
There is a risk of destroying the transmission control module (Mechatronic) with static discharge.
- Always "discharge" the static electricity before working with electric connectors. Do this by touching a grounded object, for example vehicle ground, the vehicle or the hoist.
- Do not touch contacts in transmission connector with hands.
-- Pull the retainer in direction of -arrow 1-, push the release down in direction of -arrow 2- and disconnect the connector.
-- Remove the bolts in reverse order: -6 to 1-.
Risk of causing Damage to the Mechatronic.
- Only bolts -6 to 1- may be loosened.
- If other bolts are loosened, this may affect the function of the Mechatronic unit or it may come apart.
The sealing surface must not be damaged.
The Mechatronic fits partially inside the transmission.
If the Mechatronic must be removed, then a second technician will be needed to keep it from falling. Another alternative, the bolts -1 and 2- can be installed slightly to hold the Mechatronic in place while it is being removed.
-- Remove the Mechatronic.
Danger of Damaging the Sensor on the Back Side of the Mechatronic.
- Lay the Mechatronic with the bolt head side facing down only.
