5.
Lift the vehicle after loosening valve body cover upper bolts.
6.
Remove the valve body cover (A) by loosening bolts.
Tightening torque:
11.8 ~ 13.7 N.m (1.2 ~ 1.4 kgf.m, 8.7 ~ 10.1 lb-ft)
7.
Remove the solenoid valve harness (A) and oil temperature sensor (B) after removing the bolts.
Tightening torque:
9.8 ~ 11.8 N.m (1.0 ~ 1.2 kgf.m, 7.2 ~ 8.7 lb-ft)
8.
Remove solenoid valve support bracket (A).
Tightening torque:
9.8 ~ 11.8 N.m (1.0 ~ 1.2 kgf.m, 7.2 ~ 8.7 lb-ft)
9.
Remove the torque converter control solenoid valve (B) after loosening the bolt (A).
Tightening torque:
9.8 ~ 11.8 N.m (1.0 ~ 1.2 kgf.m, 7.2 ~ 8.7 lb-ft)
1.
