In-Vehicle Repair: Solenoids: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Inspect the solenoid(s) for damage.

  2. If a new solenoid is not being installed, install the solenoid(s) into the bore from which it was removed.
  3. If installing a new Variable Force Solenoid (VFS), determine the base part number of the solenoid(s). The Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) solenoid, Shift Solenoid A (SSA) and Shift Solenoid C (SSC) are all normally low pressure solenoids. The Line Pressure Control (LPC) solenoid, Shift Solenoid B (SSB) and Shift Solenoid D (SSD) are all normally high pressure solenoids. Shift Solenoid E (SSE) is not a VFS  ; it is an ON/OFF solenoid.

    ITEM DESCRIPTION CHART

    Item Part Number Description
    1 7G136 SSA  (normally low)
    2 7G383 SSB  (normally high)
    3 7G136 SSC  (normally low)
    4 7G383 SSD  (normally high)
    5 7G484 SSE  (normally closed [OFF])
    6 7G136 TCC  solenoid (normally low)
    7 7G383 LPC  solenoid (normally high)
  4. If installing a new LPC  solenoid, SSB  or SSD  , note the color of the electrical terminal area of the solenoid. The color will be blue or green and the solenoid can only be replaced with the same color solenoid. If a new solenoid with that color is not available, install a new solenoid body, refer to SOLENOID BODY ASSEMBLY  in this service information.

  5. Determine the part number suffix by checking the solenoid service band number etched on the side of the solenoid. The band number is the third digit on the side of the solenoid and will be a 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. Use the following table to determine the part number suffix and match the new solenoid base part number and suffix with the old solenoid. Install the solenoid in the solenoid body.

    17. NOTE: Inspect the main control cover grommet to make sure that the seals is on the inside of the main control cover. Transmission fluid leak will occur.
    NOTE: Install the stud bolts in the locations noted during disassembly.
  17. Tighten the 8 main control cover bolts and 5 stud bolts.
    • Tighten to 12 Nm (106 lb-in).

  22. Fill the transaxle with clean transmission fluid.
  23. Using the scan tool with the engine running, check and make sure that the transmission is at normal operating temperature 85-93°C (185-200°F). Check and adjust the transmission fluid level and check for any leaks. If transmission fluid is needed, add transmission fluid in increments of 0.24L (0.5 pt) until the correct level is achieved.
