Pressure Regulating Solenoid: Service and Repair

Solenoid Body Assembly









Removal

NOTE: The PCM must be updated with a new solenoid body strategy data file and solenoid body identification any time a new solenoid body is installed. A new solenoid body service tag must be installed over the current solenoid body service tag on top of the transaxle case.

1. Remove the main control cover.
- For vehicles equipped with a 3.7L engine, refer to Main Control Cover - 3.7L Service and Repair.

- For vehicles equipped with a 3.5L Gasoline Turbocharged Direct Injection (GTDI) engine, refer to Main Control Cover - 3.5L GTDI. Service and Repair

2. Disconnect the Transmission Range (TR) sensor electrical connector.

1. Slide the lock over.

2. Press the tab and disconnect the connector.





3. Disconnect the Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) and Output Shaft Speed (OSS) sensor electrical connectors.





4. NOTE: Note the location of the different length bolts for assembly.

Remove the 11 bolts and the solenoid body.





5. NOTICE: Do not handle the solenoid body in the leadframe area or by the screens of the solenoid body filter or damage to the solenoid body may occur.

NOTICE: Use care not to break the alignment tabs when installing the solenoid body filter. Damage to the transaxle will occur if the solenoid body is not correctly aligned.

Remove the solenoid body filter assembly by pulling it straight up from the alignment tabs. Discard the filter.





Installation

1. NOTICE: Do not handle the solenoid body in the leadframe area or by the screens of the solenoid body filter or damage to the solenoid body may occur.

NOTICE: Use care not to break the alignment tabs when installing the solenoid body filter. Damage to the transaxle will occur if the solenoid body is not correctly aligned.

NOTICE: Make sure that the filter passage areas are clean of foreign material before installing the filter. Damage to the transaxle will occur if the filter passages are not clean.

Install a new solenoid body filter assembly by pushing it straight down on to the alignment tabs.





2. NOTICE: Make sure not to pinch the Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS), Output Shaft Speed (OSS) or Transmission Range (TR) sensor wiring harnesses when installing the solenoid body. Damage to the wiring harness will occur.

NOTE: Install the different length bolts in the locations noted during disassembly.

Install the solenoid body and the 11 bolts.

1. 42 mm (1.653 in) bolt

2. 63 mm (2.48 in) bolts

3. 80 mm (3.149 in) bolts

4. 95 mm (3.74 in) bolts





3. Tighten the solenoid body bolts in the sequence shown.
- Tighten to 12 Nm (106 lb-in).





4. Route the OSS sensor wiring harness and connect the electrical connector.





5. Connect the TR sensor electrical connector.

1. Connect the electrical connector.

2. Slide the locking tab over.





6. Connect the TSS sensor electrical connector.





7. Wipe the surface of the existing solenoid body strategy tag on top of the transaxle case clean and install the new solenoid body strategy tag (supplied with the solenoid body service kit) over it.





8. Install the main control cover.
- For vehicles equipped with a 3.7L engine, refer to Main Control Cover - 3.7L Service and Repair.

- For vehicles equipped with a 3.5L GTDI engine, refer to Main Control Cover - 3.5L GTDI. Service and Repair

9. Download a new solenoid body strategy to the PCM. For additional information, refer to Solenoid Body Strategy Solenoid Body Strategy.
