| 1. | Remove the splash shield. |
| 2. | Remove the drain plug (A), and drain the automatic transmission fluid (ATF). Then reinstall the drain plug with a new sealing washer (B). |
| 3. | Disconnect the battery negative terminal, then disconnect the battery positive terminal. |
| 4. | Remove the battery hold-down bracket, then remove the battery cover, battery, and battery tray. |
| 5. | Remove the intake air duct and air cleaner housing. |
| 6. | Loosen the two bolts securing the battery base from under the vehicle, and remove the two bolts securing the battery base in the engine compartment, then remove the battery base. |
| 7. | Remove the ground cable (A), transmission upper mount bracket (B), and bracket plate (C). |
| 8. | Place the transmission jack under the transmission, and remove the transmission lower mount nuts. |
| 9. | Lift the transmission up to create clearance between the transmission and front subframe with the jack. |
| 10. | Remove the ATF dipstick, and remove the bolts securing the ATF cooler inlet line brackets (A) and ATF dipstick guide pipe (B) from the transmission hanger (C). |
| 11. | Remove the harness clamp (D), then remove the ATF dipstick guide pipe. |
| 12. | Disconnect the shift solenoid harness connector. |
| 13. | Remove the shift solenoid valve cover (A), dowel pins (B), and gasket (C). |
| 14. | Remove the shift solenoid harness connector. |
| 15. | Measure ATF temperature sensor resistance between shift solenoid harness connector terminals No. 6 and No. 7.
|
| 16. | If the resistance is out of standard, replace the ATF temperature sensor and solenoid harness; go to 17. The ATF temperature sensor is not available separately from the solenoid harness. If the measurement is within the standard, install the removed parts; go to 20. |
| 17. | Disconnect the connectors from the shift solenoid valves. |
| 18. | Connect the shift solenoid valve D connector with the ATF temperature sensor (F) on the shift solenoid harness. |
| 19. | Connect the solenoid valve A connector (BLU wire), solenoid valve B connector (ORN wire), solenoid valve C connector (GRN wire), and solenoid valve E connector (RED wire). |
| 20. | Install the new O-ring on the shift solenoid harness connector, and install the connector in the transmission housing. |
| 21. | Install the shift solenoid valve cover, dowel pins and a new gasket. |
| 22. | Install the new O-ring on the ATF dipstick guide pipe, and install the ATF dipstick guide pipe, then install the harness clamp on the ATF dipstick guide pipe. |
| 23. | Secure the ATF cooler line brackets on the transmission hanger with the bolts. |
| 24. | Check the connector for rust, dirt, or oil, then connect the connector securely. |
| 25. | Install the transmission lower mount nuts. |
| 26. | Install the transmission upper mount bracket, bracket plate, and ground cable, then remove the transmission jack. |
| 27. | Refill the transmission with ATF. |
| 28. | Install the battery base, then install the air cleaner housing and intake air duct. |
| 29. | Install the battery tray, battery, and battery cover, then secure the battery with its hold-down bracket. Connect the battery terminals. |
| 30. | Install the splash shield. |
