Description and operation
• |
6 clutch control solenoid valve is a Variable Force Solenoid (VFS) type.
|
• |
When TCM supplies variable current to solenoid valve, hydraulic pressure
of 6 clutch is controlled directly by solenoid valve.

Repair procedures
2. |
Disconnect the main connector (A).

|
3. |
Measure the resistance between power terminal (8) and signal terminal
(24).
Specification : 5.3 ± 0.3 Ω
|
|
• |
Maintain clean condition so that foreign substance does not get
into the automatic transmission.
|
• |
Use a coated apron, latex gloves, and stainless tray to prevent
foreign substance from getting into the transmission.
|
|
1. |
Remove the under cover.
(Refer to Engine Mechanical System - "Engine Room Under Cover").
|
2. |
Remove the ATF drain plug (A), allow the fluid to drain out and then
reinstall the drain plug.
Tightening torque :
22.6 - 24.5 N·m (2.3 - 2.5 kgf·m, 16.6 - 18.1 lb·ft)
|

•
|
ATF can be reused. Collect it in a clean beaker.
|
•
|
The existing ATF drain plug O-ring must be replaced with
a new one. (Do not reuse it.)

|
|
|
3. |
Disconnect the main connector (A).

|
4. |
Remove the valve body cover.
(1) |
Loosen the all valve body mounting bolts except for the bolts
(A) in the corner.
Tightening torque :
13.7 - 15.7 N·m (1.4 - 1.6 kgf·m, 10.1 - 11.6 lb·ft)
|

|
(2) |
Loosen the two bolts (A) in the corner after supporting the valve
body cover on a jack and then remove the valve body cover by lowering
the jack slowly.

Be careful when removing the valve body cover because
the remaining ATF remains in the valve body cover.

|
|
|
5. |
Remove the valve body assembly (A) after loosening the bolts.
Tightening torque :
9.8 - 11.8 N·m (1.0 - 1.2 kgf·m, 7.2 - 8.7 lb·ft)
|

|
6. |
Remove the E-module (A) after loosening the bolts.
Tightening torque :
9.8 - 11.8 N·m (1.0 - 1.2 kgf·m, 7.2 - 8.7 lb·ft)
|

When installing, after mounting the E-module, lightly tap the
connector part (A) to insert the connector certainly and then tighten
the bolts.

|
|
7. |
Remove the solenoid valve support bracket (A).
Tightening torque :
11.8 - 13.7 N·m (1.2 - 1.4 kgf·m, 8.7 - 10.1 lb·ft)
|

|
8. |
Remove the pin (A).

|
9. |
Remove the 6 clutch control solenoid valve (A).

|
1. |
Install in the reverse order of removal.
•
|
Check the code (oil pressure characteristics value) at
the first before installing the solenoid valve.

|
•
|
Check if the pipe (A) is inserted on the marked area
before mounting the valve body assembly.

|
|
|
2. |
Perform the procedures below after installing.
(1) |
Refill the automatic transmission with fluid.
(Refer to Hydraulic System - "Fluid")
|
(2) |
Clear the diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) using the KDS. Disconnecting
the battery negative terminal will not clear the DTCs. Clear DTCs
using the KDS at all times.
|
(3) |
Reset the automatic transmission adaptive values using the KDS.

|
(4) |
Perform the oil pressure characteristics input procedure using
the KDS.
(Refer to Hydraulic System - "Oil pressure characteristics input")
|
(5) |
Perform the TCM adaptive values learning procedure.
(Refer to Automatic Transmission Control System - "Repair procedures")
|
(6) |
After installing, check for leakage of fluid from hose connection
during engine start.
