2. 2
   Remove the battery and battery tray. (Refer to Engine Electrical System - "Battery")
3. 3
   Disconnect the solenoid valve connector (A).

   

4. 4
   Measure the resistance between the power terminal (10) and the signal terminal (18).

   Specification: 10.0 ~ 11.0 Ω

   

Removal

1. 1
   Remove the under cover. (Refer to Engine Mechanical System - "Engine Room Under Cover")
2. 2
   Remove the ATF drain plug (A), allow the fluid to drain, then reinstall the drain plug.

   Tightening torque: 33.3 ~ 43 N·m

   

   The existing ATF drain plug gasket must be replaced with a new one. (Do not reuse.)

3. 3
   Remove the battery and battery tray. (Refer to Engine Electrical System - "Battery")
4. 4
   Remove the wire harness bracket (A) and breather hose (B).

   Tightening torque: 9.8 ~ 11.8 N·m

   

5. 5
   Raise the vehicle after loosening the upper valve body cover bolts.
6. 6
   Remove the valve body cover (A) by loosening the bolts.

   Tightening torque: 11.8 ~ 13.7 N·m

   

7. 7
   Remove the solenoid valve wire harness connector (A) and the oil temperature sensor (B) by removing the bolts.

   Tightening torque: 9.8 ~ 11.8 N·m

   

8. 8
   Remove the solenoid valve support bracket (A).

   Tightening torque: 9.8 ~ 11.8 N·m

   

9. 9
   Remove the SS-A solenoid valve (A).

   

Installation

1. Install in the reverse order of removal.

Replace the solenoid valve O-ring (A) with a new one. (Do not reuse.) The existing valve body cover gasket (A) must be replaced with a new one. (Do not reuse.) Fill the automatic transmission with fluid. (Refer to Hydraulic System — "Fluid"). Check for fluid leaks at the connections after repair.
