Main Control Valve Body: Installation

    NOTE: If cleaning of the main control assembly or inspecting the valves, refer to MAIN CONTROL VALVE BODY . If installing a new main control assembly continue with this procedure.
    NOTE: Make sure that the manual control lever pin (part of the TR  sensor) is correctly installed in the manual control valve.
  1. Position the TSS  , OSS  and TR  sensor wiring harnesses aside and install the main control valve body, the TR  sensor detent spring and the 10 bolts. Tighten the bolts in the sequence shown in illustration.
    • Tighten to 12 Nm (106 lb-in).

  2. NOTE: Do not handle the solenoid body in the leadframe area or by the screens of the solenoid body filter or damage to the solenoid body can occur.
    NOTE: Use care not to break the alignment tabs when installing the solenoid body filter. Damage to the transaxle will occur if the solenoid body is not correctly aligned.
    NOTE: Make sure that the filter passage areas are clean of foreign material before installing the filter. Damage to the transaxle will occur if the filter passages are not clean.
