Shift Solenoid Valve Removal/Installation

Shift Solenoid Valve Removal and Installation

Removal

NOTE: Do not hold the shift solenoid valve connector to remove the shift solenoid valves. Be sure to hold the shift solenoid valve body.

1. Vehicle Lift

1. Raise the vehicle on a lift, and make sure it is securely supported.

2. Engine Undercover





1. Remove the engine undercover (A).

3. Splash Shield

1. Remove the splash shield (A).





4. ATF - Replacement





1. Remove the drain plug (A), and drain the ATF.

2. Reinstall the drain plug using a new sealing washer (B).

5. A/T Solenoid Cover





1. Remove the shift solenoid valve cover (A) with the dowel pins (B), the gasket (C), and the clamp bracket (D).

6. Shift Solenoid Valve





1. Disconnect the shift solenoid valve connectors:

* BLU wire from shift solenoid valve A.
* ORN, WHT, and WHT wires from shift solenoid valve B.
* GRN wire from shift solenoid valve C.
* YEL wire from shift solenoid valve D.

2. Remove shift solenoid valves A, B, C, and D by holding the shift solenoid valve body.

NOTE: Do not hold the connector to remove the shift solenoid valves.

Installation

NOTE: Do not hold the shift solenoid valve connector to install the shift solenoid valves. Be sure to hold the shift solenoid valve body.

1. Shift Solenoid Valve





1. Install new O-rings (two O-rings per solenoid valve) (E) on the shift solenoid valve.

NOTE: A new solenoid valve comes with new O-rings. If you install a new solenoid valve, use the O-rings provided on it.

2. Install shift solenoid valve D (black connector) by holding the shift solenoid valve body; be sure to install the mounting bracket contacts to the servo body.

3. Install shift solenoid valve C (brown connector) by holding the shift solenoid valve body; be sure that the mounting bracket contacts the servo body.

4. Install shift solenoid valve B (black connector) by holding the shift solenoid valve body; be sure that the mounting bracket contacts to the servo body.

5. Install shift solenoid valve A (brown connector) by holding the shift solenoid valve body; be sure that the mounting bracket contacts to the bracket of shift solenoid valve B.

NOTE: Do not install shift solenoid valve A before installing shift solenoid valve B. If shift solenoid valve A is installed before installing shift solenoid valve B, it may damage to hydraulic control system.

6. Connect the shift solenoid valve connectors:

* BLU wire to shift solenoid valve A.
* ORN, WHT, and WHT wires to shift solenoid valve B.
* GRN wire to shift solenoid valve C.
* YEL wire to shift solenoid valve D.

2. A/T Solenoid Cover





1. Install the shift solenoid valve cover (A) with the dowel pins (B), a new gasket (C), and the clamp bracket (D).

3. ATF - Replacement





1. Remove the ATF dipstick (yellow loop) (A), and wipe it with a clean cloth.

2. Refill the transmission with the recommended fluid into the dipstick hole (A) to bring the fluid level between the upper mark and the lower mark of the dipstick. Always use Honda automatic transmission fluid (ATF) ATF DW-1. Using a non-Honda ATF can affect shift quality.
















3. Insert the ATF dipstick (A) back into the dipstick hole.

4. Remove the dipstick.

5. Make sure the fluid level is between the upper mark (B) and the lower mark (C) on the dipstick.

6. Insert the dipstick back into the dipstick hole.

4. Splash Shield

1. Install the splash shield (A).





5. Engine Undercover





1. Install the engine undercover (A).

6. Maintenance Minder Reset

1. After doing all procedures, select the individual maintenance item you wish to reset with the HDS (See the Maintenance Minder General Information).
