Pressure Regulating Solenoid: Service and Repair

Pressure Control Solenoid Replacement

Removal Procedure

1. Remove the transmission fluid pan and filter.




2. Disconnect the electrical wiring harness connector (2) from the pressure control solenoid (1).




3. Using a small screwdriver or pick, remove the pressure control solenoid retainer from the control valve body.




4. Remove the pressure control solenoid (1) from the control valve body.
5. Remove the O-ring seals (3-4) from the pressure control solenoid (1), ONLY if the O-rings are cut or worn.

Installation Procedure




1. Install new O-ring seals (3-4) to the pressure control solenoid (1), if the O-rings were previously removed.
2. Install the pressure control solenoid (1) into the control valve body.




3. Install the pressure control solenoid retainer into the control valve body.




4. Connect the electrical wiring harness connector (2) to the pressure control solenoid (1).
5. Install the transmission fluid pan and filter.

Important: It is recommended that transmission adaptive pressure (TAP) information be reset.

Resetting the TAP values using a scan tool will erase all learned values in all cells. As a result, The ECM, PCM or TCM will need to relearn TAP values. Transmission performance may be affected as new TAP values are learned.

6. Reset the TAP values. Refer to Transmission Adaptive Functions.
