Main Control Valve Body: Installation
- Position the mechatronic assembly in place and loosely install the 10 retaining bolts.
- Tighten the mechatronic bolts in the sequence shown.
- Tighten to 8 Nm (71 lb-in).
- Install new O-rings seals on the outer shell of the bulkhead electrical connector.
- With the release tab down, push the outer shell of the bulkhead electrical connector into the transmission.
- Press up on the tab and lock the outer shell of the bulkhead electrical connector in place.
- Install the fluid pan.

- Tighten the bolts in a crisscross pattern.
- Connect the main transmission electrical harness by pushing it in and twisting the outer shell to lock it in place.
- Remove the fluid fill plug.
- The fill plug is located on the RH rear side of the case near the transmission electrical connector.
- Fill the transmission.
- Add 4.7 liters (5 quarts) of clean automatic transmission fluid to the transmission through the fluid fill hole. Stop when the fluid runs out of the bottom of the hole.
- Install the fluid fill plug.
- Tighten to 35 Nm (26 lb-ft).
- Start the engine. Move the transmission range selector lever through all the gear ranges, checking for engagements.
- With the engine idling (600-750 rpm) in PARK and the transmission temperature at 30°C-50°C (86°F-122°F), check and adjust the transmission fluid level.
- With the engine still running in PARK, check the fluid level. If more fluid is needed, remove the fluid fill plug and fill with clean automatic transmission fluid until the fluid runs out of the bottom of the hole.
- Install the fluid fill plug.
- Tighten to 35 Nm (26 lb-ft).
CAUTION:
Do not touch the electrical connector pins. Electrostatic charge may occur and will cause damage to the mechatronic unit.
