In-Vehicle Repair: Solenoids: Installation

  1. Inspect the solenoid(s) for damage.

  2. If a new solenoid is not being installed, install the solenoid(s) into the bore from which it was removed.
  3. If installing a new Variable Force Solenoid (VFS), determine the base part number of the solenoid(s). The Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) solenoid, Shift Solenoid A (SSA) and Shift Solenoid C (SSC) are all normally low pressure solenoids. The Line Pressure Control (LPC) solenoid, Shift Solenoid B (SSB) and Shift Solenoid D (SSD) are all normally high pressure solenoids. Shift Solenoid E (SSE) is not a VFS, it is an ON/OFF solenoid.
    Item Part Number Description
    1 7G136 SSA (normally low)
    2 7G383 SSB (normally high)
    3 7G136 SSC (normally low)
    4 7G383 SSD (normally high)
    5 7G484 SSE (normally closed [OFF])
    6 7G136 TCC solenoid (normally low)
    7 7G383 LPC solenoid (normally high)

  4. If installing a new LPC solenoid, SSB or SSD, note the color of the electrical terminal area of the solenoid. The color will be blue or green and the solenoid can only be replaced with the same color solenoid. If a new solenoid with that color is not available, install a new solenoid body, refer to SOLENOID BODY ASSEMBLY .

  5. Determine the part number suffix by checking the solenoid service band number etched on the side of the solenoid. The band number is the third digit on the side of the solenoid and will be a 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. Use the following table to determine the part number suffix and match the new solenoid base part number and suffix with the old solenoid. Install the solenoid in the solenoid body.

    2 C
    3 D
    4 E
    5 F

  8. Position the leadframe on the Leadframe Guide Pins and carefully install the leadframe by pushing straight down into the solenoids.
  9. Remove the Leadframe Guide Pins.

  17. NOTE: Inspect the main control cover grommet to make sure that the seal is on the inside of the main control cover, or a transmission fluid leak will occur.
    NOTE: Install the stud bolts in the locations noted during disassembly.
  18. Tighten the 8 main control cover bolts and 5 stud bolts.
    • Tighten to 12 Nm (106 lb-in).

  19. Position the transmission fluid cooler tube bracket and transmission fluid cooler tube assembly in place and install the 2 nuts.
    • Tighten to 9 Nm (80 lb-in).

  22. Install the ACL assembly. For additional information, refer to INTAKE AIR DISTRIBUTION AND FILTERING - 2.5L or INTAKE AIR DISTRIBUTION AND FILTERING - 3.0L (4V) .
  23. Install the underbody cover and the screws.

  25. Start the engine and move the range selector lever into each gear position.
  26. Using the scan tool with the engine running, check and make sure that the transmission is at normal operating temperature 85-93°C (185-200°F). Check and adjust the transmission fluid level and check for any leaks. If transmission fluid is needed, add transmission fluid in increments of 0.24L (0.5 pt) until the correct level is achieved.
