Removal And Installation: Solenoid: Removal

NOTE: Failure to match the replacement solenoid service band to the original solenoid can cause damage to the transmission or erratic engagements and shifts.

NOTE: The solenoids that are being re-used must be marked during the removal and reinstalled in the exact bore location.

NOTE: While removing and installing solenoids, never handle the plastic connector.

Using the scan tool Transmission Solenoid Identification Number (IDN) function, retrieve the solenoid base part number and stamping number. Refer to: Transmission Description - System Operation and Component Description .
Remove the Solenoid Body. Refer to: Solenoid Body .
NOTE: The solenoids are calibrated from the factory and are not all the same. Failure to mark the solenoids to the ports they were originally in can result in mixing the solenoids and can cause damage to the transmission or a harsh shift.

NOTE: Note the position of the components before removal.
