Transmission Temperature Sensor/Switch: Service and Repair

Removal

1. Remove the drain plug and the gasket from the oil pan to drain ATF.
2. Remove the 20 bolts.




3. Take off the oil pan by using the special service tool(09215-3C000) or a plastic hammer with care.

CAUTION:
- Be careful not to damage the fitting surfaces of the transmission case and the oil pan.
- Be careful not to deform the oil pan.

4. Remove the 3 oil cleaner magnets from the oil pan.




5. Remove the 4 bolts to remove the oil strainer from the valve body assembly.




6. Disconnect the 9 solenoid connectors from the solenoids and the transmission wire from the 2 clamps (A).




7. Remove the bolt to remove the locking plate from the valve body assembly.

NOTE:
The ATF oil temperature sensor is place in the locking plate.




8. Pull out solenoid valve connector and the O-ring after removing the bolt.




9. Pull out the transmission wire through the hole for the connector.

CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the connector and sensor on the wire.

Installation

1. Insert a new "O" ring to the transmission wire and install the wire through the hole on the transmission case.

O-ring size:
inner dia.-21.80mm(0.858in),
thickness-2.40mm(0.0945in)

2. Install the bolt to place the connector on the transmission case.

Tightening torque :
4 - 7 Nm(0.4 - 0.7 kgf.m, 2.89 - 5.06 lb-ft)

Bolt size(5) :M6x1.0x21mm




3. Install the ATF temperature sensor and the lock plate with the bolt to the valve body assembly.

Tightening torque :
8.2 - 12.0 Nm(0.82 - 1.20 kgf.m, 5.93 - 8.68 lb-ft)

Bolt size(11) :M6x1.0x12mm




4. Connect the transmission wire to the 2 clamps (A) and the 9 solenoid connectors to the solenoids.




5. Coat a new "O" ring with ATF and install it to the oil strainer.

O-ring size:
inner dia.-31.00mm(1.22in), thickness-2.72mm(0.107in)

6. Install the oil strainer with the 4 bolts to the valve body assembly.

Tightening torque :
8.2 - 12.2 Nm(0.82 - 1.22 kgf.m, 5.93 - 8.82 lb-ft)

Bolt size(11) :M6x1.0x16mm




7. Clean the contact surfaces of oil pan and transmission case.
8. Install the 3 oil cleaner magnets to the oil pan.




9. Install a new oil pan gasket (A) and the oil pan to the transmission case by tightening the 20 bolts.

Tightening torque :
6 - 8 Nm(0.6 - 0.8 kgf.m, 4.34 - 5.78 lb-ft)

Bolt size(4) :M6x1.0x14.5mm

CAUTION:
- Be careful not to damage the fitting surfaces of the transmission case and the oil pan.
- Be careful not to deform the oil pan.
- Be reminded that bolts might be damaged if tightened too much since the gasket is cork-made and there is little tightening sense.




10. Install a new gasket and the drain plug to the oil pan.

Tightening torque :
17.9 - 23.0Nm(1.79 - 2.30 kgf.m, 12.95 - 16.63 lb-ft)

11. Refill the ATF. (refer to Procedure of ATF level adjusting)
