Installation Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 GMC Yukon and 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Install the control valve channel plate spacer plate gasket (1).
- Install the transmission wiring harness assembly (2).
- Install the control solenoid valve and TCM assembly (4).
- Install by hand the control valve body bolts (3) to the control solenoid valve and TCM assembly.
- Install the wire harness retainer (2).
- Install by hand the control solenoid valve heat sink bolts (1) to the control solenoid valve and TCM assembly.
- Torque the bolts following the specified sequence.
Tighten: Tighten the control valve body bolts to 11 N.m (97 lb in).
Tighten: Tighten the control solenoid valve heat sink bolts to 7 N.m (62 lb in).
- Connect the transmission wiring harness to the control solenoid valve body (3).
- Install the transmission wiring harness connector (1) to the wire harness retainer.
- Install the transmission wiring harness to the wire harness retainer (2).
- Install the transmission electrical connector passage sleeve. Refer to Automatic Transmission Electrical Connector Passage Sleeve Replacement .
- Install the transmission fluid filter and auxiliary fluid pump filter. Refer to Automatic Transmission Fluid Filter and Auxiliary Fluid Pump Filter Replacement .
- Install the catalytic converter. Refer to Catalytic Converter Replacement (1500 ) or Catalytic Converter Replacement (LFA) .
- Lower the vehicle.
NOTE:
Use care when handling the control valve body assembly. If dropped, damage to the control solenoid valve body assembly internal components, including the transmission control module (TCM), may result.
NOTE:
Discard the channel plate. Replace with a NEW channel plate. Reusing an old channel plate may cause damage to the control solenoid valve assembly.
IMPORTANT:
Use care when installing the channel plate assembly. However, if a retaining tab is broken or missing, DO NOT replace the control solenoid valve assembly. The channel plate assembly can still be adequately aligned.
IMPORTANT:
Do not tighten the bolts at this time.
IMPORTANT:
Do not tighten the bolts at this time.
NOTE:
Bolt torque sequencing is critical to the proper function of the control solenoid valve assembly. Failure to follow the required sequencing may result in transmission malfunction.
NOTE:
