Solution

1. Preparation

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

2. Check and Replace Transmission Fluid

• Tools Required: Wrench, funnel, transmission fluid.
• Remove the transmission fluid fill plug and check the fluid level.
• If low, add the appropriate type of transmission fluid recommended by the manufacturer.
• If the fluid is dark or smells burnt, proceed to drain and replace fluid.
  • Locate the drain plug on the transmission pan and remove it to drain fluid into a container.
  • Replace the drain plug, torque it to the manufacturer's specifications.
  • Refill the transmission with new fluid through the fill plug.

3. Replace Transmission Filter

• Tools Required: Socket set, new transmission filter, gasket.
• Remove the transmission pan by unscrewing the bolts.
• Carefully lower the pan and remove the old filter.
• Install a new transmission filter and ensure it is seated properly.
• Replace the transmission pan with a new gasket and tighten the bolts to specified torque.

4. Inspect and Repair Electrical Connections

• Tools Required: Multimeter, electrical connector cleaner.
• Inspect the wiring harness and connectors leading to the transmission for any signs of damage.
• Clean any corroded electrical connections with electrical cleaner.
• Use a multimeter to test for continuity and proper voltage at the transmission control module.
