to component overview prior to starting procedure.

Mandatory Replacement Parts
♦ Bolts - Valve Body to Transmission

removed or when there is no ATF in the transmission.

♦ The valve body and the wiring harnesses can also be removed

with transmission installed.

♦ Install the O-rings with ATF. Other types of lubrication lead to

faults in the transmission hydraulics.

♦ Only use lint-free cloths
♦ Check the ATF level after installing the ATF pan. Refer to

⇒ “7 Automatic Transmission Fluid”, page 73

fore disconnecting them.

WARNING

It is absolutely required to draw or take pictures and to make

identifying marks so that connectors at solenoid valves cannot

be interchanged unintentionally when reinstalling the sensors

and valve body.
Confusing the connectors could cause damage to the trans‐

mission.

– Carefully pry out the connector tabs on the solenoid valves

-1 through 8- using a small screwdriver and then disconnect

the connectors.

Caution

The wiring harness or the valve body with the solenoid valves

must be replaced if the one of the connectors gets damaged.
