Valve Body Assembly: Installation

CAUTION: After completing installation, check transmission fluid leakage and fluid level. See CHECKING FLUID LEVELS .
  1. Install transmission fluid temperature sensor No. 2 to bracket.
  2. Install transmission fluid temperature sensor No. 2 (with bracket) in control valve with TCM. Tighten to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . See Figure.
  3. Install control valve with TCM in transmission case using the following steps:
    1. Install control valve assembly in transmission case.
      CAUTION: Hang down sensor harness toward outside so as not to disturb installation of control valve with TCM. Ensure that turbine revolution sensor securely installs in sensor hole. See Fig 1. Assemble it so that manual valve cutout is engaged with manual plate projection. See Figure.

    2. Install bolts "A", "B", and "C" in control valve assembly. See Figure. See CONTROL VALVE BOLT IDENTIFICATION .
      CONTROL VALVE BOLT IDENTIFICATION

      Bolt Symbol Length - In. (mm) Number of Bolts
      "A" 1.65 (42.0) 5
      "B" 2.17 (55.0) 6
      "C" 1.57 (40.0) 1
    3. Tighten bolt 1, 2, and 3 temporarily to prevent dislocation. See Figure. After that tighten in order (1, 2, and 3), and then tighten remaining bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
  4. Install terminal cord assembly connectors in bracket. See Figure
  5. Connect terminal cord assembly connectors.
  6. Connect transmission fluid temperature sensor No. 2 connector. See Figure.
  7. Connect revolution sensor connector. See Figure
  8. Securely fasten revolution sensor harness with terminal clips.
  9. Install magnets in oil pan.
  10. Install oil pan to transmission case using the following steps:
    1. Install oil pan gasket to oil pan. DO NOT reuse oil pan gasket. Install it in the direction to align hole positions. Completely remove all moisture, oil and old gasket from oil pan mounting surface.
    2. Install oil pan (with oil pan gasket) to transmission case. Install it so that drain plug comes to the position as shown. Use care to not pinch electrical harnesses.
    3. Tighten oil pan mounting bolts to specification in sequence shown after temporarily tightening them. See Figure. DO NOT reuse oil pan mounting bolts. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
  11. Install drain plug to oil pan. Tighten to specification. DO NOT reuse drain plug gasket.
  12. Pour transmission fluid into transmission assembly. See DRAINING & REFILLING .
  13. Connect heated oxygen sensor No. 2 harness connector.
  14. Connect negative battery terminal.
