Installation Procedure
- 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 .
- Lower the vehicle.
- Program the Transmission Control Module (TCM). Refer to Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Programming and Setup (2ML70) , Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Programming and Setup (6L45/6L50/6L80/6L90) .
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.
Discard the channel plate. Replace with a NEW channel plate. Reusing an old channel plate may cause damage to the control solenoid valve assembly.
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.
Do not tighten the bolts at this time.
Do not tighten the bolts at this time.
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.
Refer to Fastener Caution .
