Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather all necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.
• Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical shorts.

2. Check and Replace Transmission Fluid

• Tools Required: Fluid pump, funnel, catch pan.
• Remove the transmission pan using a socket set and allow fluid to drain into a catch pan.
• Inspect the pan for metal shavings or debris indicating internal wear.
• Replace the transmission filter if blocked or damaged.
• Reinstall the pan with a new gasket and torque to manufacturer specifications.
• Refill the transmission with the correct type of fluid as specified in the owner’s manual.

3. Inspect and Replace Transmission Solenoids

• Tools Required: Wiring harness tool, socket set.
• Locate the transmission solenoid assembly.
• Disconnect the electrical connectors and remove the solenoid assembly.
• Inspect solenoids for damage or wear and replace if necessary.
• Reinstall the assembly and reconnect the wiring harness.

4. Pressure Test

• Tools Required: Pressure gauge.
• Connect the pressure gauge to the transmission test port.
• Start the engine and monitor the pressure readings; compare with manufacturer specifications.
• If pressure is low, further internal inspection may be required.
