2-3 Shift Solenoid Valve Replacement




2-3 Shift Solenoid Valve Replacement

Removal Procedure

1. Remove the transmission fluid pan. Refer to Automatic Transmission Fluid and Filter Replacement (Removal and Replacement).




2. Disconnect the electrical connector (1) from the 2-3 shift solenoid (2).




3. Using a suitable tool, remove the 2-3 shift solenoid retainer from the control valve body.




4. Remove the 2-3 shift solenoid (7) from the control valve body.
5. Remove the O-ring seals (4-5) from the 2-3 shift solenoid (7) ONLY if the O-rings are cut or worn.

Installation Procedure




1. Install new O-ring seals (4-5) to the 2-3 shift solenoid (7), if the O-rings were previously removed.
2. Install the 2-3 shift solenoid (7) into the control valve body.




3. Install the 2-3 shift solenoid retainer into the control valve body.




4. Connect the electrical connector (1) to the 2-3 shift solenoid (2).
5. Install the transmission fluid pan. Refer to Automatic Transmission Fluid and Filter Replacement (Removal and Replacement).

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 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 (Transmission Adaptive Functions).
