2. Remove the splash shield Front Splash Shield Replacement.

3. Disconnect the shift solenoid harness connector.





4. Measure the ATF temperature sensor resistance between shift solenoid wire harness connector terminals No. 6 and No. 7.





5. If the resistance is out of standard, replace the ATF temperature sensor and the shift solenoid wire harness, then go to step 6 Service and Repair. The ATF temperature sensor is not available separately from the shift solenoid wire harness.
If the measurement is within the standard, connect the connector securely, and install the splash shield Front Splash Shield Replacement.

6. Remove the drain plug (A), and drain the automatic transmission fluid (ATF).

NOTE: The ATF temperature sensor is not available separately from the shift solenoid wire harness.





15. Install a new O-ring (B) on the shift solenoid wire harness connector, then install the connector in the transmission housing.

16. Connect the shift solenoid valve connectors:

- BLU wire connector to shift solenoid valve A.
- ORN wire connector to shift solenoid valve B.
- GRN wire connector to shift solenoid valve C.
- YEL, WHT, and WHT wire connector to shift solenoid valve D.
- RED wire connector to shift solenoid valve E
