Disassembly should be done in a clean work area.
Use lint-free paper or towels for wiping parts clean. Common shop rags can leave fibers that could interfere
with the operation of the transmission.
Place disassembled parts in order for easier and proper assembly.
All parts should be carefully cleaned with a general purpose, non-flammable solvent before inspection or
reassembly.
Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be repl aced any time the A/T is disassembled.
It is very important to perform func tional tests whenever they are indicated.
The valve body contains precision parts and requires extreme care when parts are removed and serviced.
Place disassembled valve body parts in order for easier and proper assembly. Care will also prevent springs
and small parts from becoming scattered or lost.
Properly installed valves, sleeves, plugs, etc. will slide along bores in valve body under their own weight.
Before assembly, apply a coat of recommended ATF to all parts. Apply petroleum jelly to protect O-rings and
seals, or hold bearings and washers in place during assembly. Never use grease.
Extreme care should be taken to avoid damage to O-rings, seals and gaskets when assembling.
When the A/T drain plug is removed, only some of the ATF is drained. Old ATF will remain in torque con- verter and ATF cooling system.
Always follow the procedures under “Changing” when changing ATF. Refer to TM-94, "
Changing".
Occasionally, the parking gear may be locked with the to rque insufficiently released, when stopping the vehi-
cle by shifting the selector lever from “D” or “R” to “P” position with the brake pedal depressed.
In this case, the shock with a thud caused by the abrupt release of torque may occur when shifting the selec-
tor lever from “P” posit ion to other positions.
However, this symptom is not a malfunction which results in the damage of parts.
Service Notice or PrecautionINFOID:0000000006274263
ATF COOLER SERVICE
If ATF contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc. ), or if an A/T is repaired, overhauled, or replaced,
inspect and clean the A/T fluid cooler mounted in the radiat or or replace the radiator. Flush cooler lines using
cleaning solvent and compressed air after repair. For A/T fluid cooler cleaning procedure, refer to TM-97,
"Cleaning". For radiator replacement, refer to CO-13, "Exploded View".

A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : High and Lo w Reverse Clutch Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000006226748
The high and low reverse clutch solenoid valve is controlled by the TCM in response to signals transmitted
from the transmission range switch, output speed sens or and accelerator pedal position sensor. Gears will
then be shifted to the optimum position.
The high and low reverse clutch solenoid valve controls the high and low reverse clutch control valve in response to a signal transmitted from the TCM.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Lo w Brake Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000006226749
The low brake solenoid valve is controlled by the TC M in response to signals transmitted from the transmis-
sion range switch, output speed sensor and accelerator pedal position sensor. Gears will then be shifted to
the optimum position.
The low brake solenoid valve controls the low brake control valve in response to a signal transmitted from
the TCM.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Anti-interlock Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000006226750
Anti-interlock solenoid valve prevents the simultaneous activation of the input clutch and the low brake.
The anti-interlock solenoid valve is an ON/OFF type solenoid valve.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : 2 346 Brake Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000006226751
The 2346 brake solenoid valve is controlled by the TC M in response to signals transmitted from the trans-
mission range switch, output speed sensor and accelera tor pedal position sensor. Gears will then be shifted
to the optimum position.
The 2346 brake solenoid valve controls the 2346 brake c ontrol valve in response to a signal transmitted from
the TCM.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Torque Co nverter Clutch Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000006226752
The torque converter clutch solenoid va lve is activated, with the gear in D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, M2, M3, M4,
M5, M6 and M7 by the TCM in response to signals tr ansmitted from the output speed sensor and accelerator
pedal position sensor. Torque converter clut ch piston operation will then be controlled.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Line Pressure Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000006226753
The line pressure solenoid valve regulates the oil pum p discharge pressure to suit the driving condition in
response to a signal transmitted from the TCM.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Accele rator Pedal Position SensorINFOID:0000000006226754
The accelerator pedal position sensor is installed on the upper end of the accelerator pedal assembly.
The accelerator pedal position sensor detects the accelerator position.
The accelerator pedal position sensor transform the a ccelerator pedal position into output voltage, and emit
the voltage signal to the ECM. Then, the TCM receives accelerator pedal position signal from the ECM via
CAN communication.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Manual Mode SwitchINFOID:0000000006226755
The manual mode switch [mode select switch and position se lect switch (shift-up/shift-down)] is installed in
the A/T shift selector assembly.
The mode select switch detects the position (the main shift gate side or manual shift gate side) of the selec-
tor lever and transmits a manual mode signal or a not manual mode signal to the combination meter. Then,
the TCM receives a manual mode signal or non-manual mode signal from the combination meter.
The position select switch (shift-up) detects that the se lector lever is shifted to the shift-up side of the manual
shift gate and transmits a manual mode shift up signal to the combination meter. Then, the TCM receives a
manual mode shift up signal from the combination meter.
The position select switch (shift-down) detects that the selector lever is shifted to the shift-down side of the
manual shift gate and transmits a manual mode shift down signal to the combination meter. Then, the TCM
receives a manual mode shift down signal from the combination meter.
