Control Valve Body Removal / Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
NOTE:
- When the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, some abnormal drive symptoms can occur while the vehicle re-learns its adaptive strategy. The customer needs to be notified that they may experience slightly different upshifts either soft or firm and this is a temporary condition and will eventually return to normal operating condition.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. See LIFTING
.NOTE:
- If a transmission has been disassembled to replace worn or damaged parts and the valves in the main control valve body stick repeatedly from foreign material, the torque converter must be removed and cleaned by using a mechanically agitated cleaner, such as the torque converter/fluid cooler cleaner.
- Remove the oil pan and oil strainer. See AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OIL PAN (GASKET AND OIL STRAINER) REMOVAL / INSTALLATION , .
- Unclip control valve body wire harness.
- Lift up on wire harness guide and protector and disengage the retaining pins from the solenoid clamps.
- Disconnect the (1) SS1, SS2, SS3 and CCS/SS4 electrical connectors.
- Disconnect the (2) torque converter clutch (TCC) solenoid electrical connector.
- Disconnect the (3) electronic pressure control (EPC) solenoid electrical connector.
- Remove the detent bolt (1) and spring (2).
- Remove the reverse servo (2).
- Remove the reverse servo cover and gasket.
- (1) Discard gasket.
WARNING:- The piston assembly can pop out due to spring pressure when removing the cover. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
- Remove the reverse servo cover and gasket.
- Remove the reverse servo piston and rod.
CAUTION:
- Support main control valve body.
- Do not remove the two (gold) bolts specified.

NOTE:
- Make sure main control to case gasket is properly aligned.
Use petroleum jelly to hold gasket in place.
- Install the control valve body assembly.
- Position the assembly using the alignment pins SST as a guide.
- Loosely install the four M6x45mm main control valve body bolts.
NOTE:
- The main control valve body bolts will be tightened in later steps.

- Tighten the main control valve body bolts in the sequence shown.
- Install the spring and detent spring bolt.
- Install the reverse servo piston and rod.
- Check the reverse piston travel.
- Install a new gasket and reverse piston cover and tighten in order shown.
- Connect the six solenoid connectors to the solenoids.
- SS1, SS2, SS3 and CCS/SS4 solenoids
- TCC solenoid
- EPC solenoid
NOTE:- The wiring guide snaps into place on the solenoid retainers.
- Install the wiring loom protector and guide.
CAUTION:
- Excessive pressure may break the locating pins.
- Align the pins in the holes of the solenoid brackets and gently push down.
- Test the solenoid valves. See AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DIAGNOSIS , .
- Install new O-rings on the oil strainer.
- Apply petroleum jelly to the O-rings.
- Install the oil strainer.

Tightening Torque
8-11 Nm { 82-112 kgfcm, 71-97 in.lbf }
- Lower the vehicle.NOTE:
- When the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, some abnormal drive symptoms can occur while the vehicle re-learns its adaptive strategy. The customer needs to be notified that they may experience slightly different upshifts either soft or firm and this is a temporary condition and will eventually return to normal operating condition.
- Connect the negative battery cable.
- Fill transmission to the proper fluid level. See AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION PRELIMINARY INSPECTION , .
- Drive vehicle and check shift points, shift schedule and shift shock. See AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION PRELIMINARY INSPECTION , .
