Removal Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Ensure that removal of the valve body is necessary before proceeding.
- The torque converter clutch (TCC) solenoid (1)
- The pressure control solenoid (2)
- The internal wiring harness (3)
- The 2-3 shift solenoid (4)
- The 1-2 shift solenoid (5)
- The transmission fluid pressure (TFP) manual valve position switch (6)
- The 3-2 shift solenoid (7)
- The torque converter clutch pulse width modulation (TCC/PWM) solenoid (8)
IMPORTANT: The following components can be serviced without removing the valve body from the transmission: - Remove the fluid level indicator.
- Remove the oil pan, and filter. Refer to Automatic Transmission Fluid and Filter Replacement .
- Disconnect the internal wiring harness electrical connectors from the following components:
- The TFP manual valve position switch (1)
- The 1-2 shift solenoid (2)
- The 2-3 shift solenoid (3)
- The pressure control solenoid (4)
- The TCC/PWM solenoid (5)
- The 3-2 shift solenoid (6)
- RWD ONLY:
- Remove the fluid indicator stop bracket bolt (2).
- Remove the fluid indicator bracket (1).
- Remove the TCC/PWM solenoid retainer (2) with a small screwdriver. Rotate the solenoid (1) in the bore, if necessary, until the flat part of the retainer (2) is visible.
- Remove the TCC/PWM solenoid (1) in order to access the TCC solenoid retaining bolts.
- Remove the TCC solenoid retaining bolts.
- Remove the TCC solenoid with O-ring seal, and wiring harness from the control valve body.
- Reposition the harness to the side of the transmission case.
- Remove the control valve body bolts securing the TFP manual valve position switch to the control valve body.
- Remove the TFP manual valve position switch.
- Inspect the TFP manual valve position switch for the following conditions:
- Damage
- Debris
- Damaged or missing O-rings
- Cracked connector
- Loose electrical terminals
- Poor terminal retention
- Sediment in switch membrane
- Remove the manual detent spring bolt.
- Remove the manual detent spring.
- Inspect the manual detent spring for cracks or damage.
- Remove the remaining control valve body bolts.
- Carefully begin to lower the control valve body down from the transmission case while simultaneously disconnecting the manual valve link from the manual valve.
IMPORTANT:
Keep the control valve body level when lowering it from the transmission case. This will prevent the loss of checkballs located in the control valve body passages.
