10. Measure the ATF temperature sensor resistance between shift solenoid wire harness connector
terminals No. 6 and No. 7.
If the resistance is within the standard, install the shift solenoid wire harness and a new O-ring in
the transmission, then go to step 13.
If the resistance is out of standard, go to step 11.
11. Disconnect the connectors from the shift solenoid valves, and replace the ATF temperature sensor/
shift solenoid harness assembly (F) and the O-ring
(G) with new ones.
NOTE: The ATF temperature sensor is not available
separately from the shift solenoid wire harness.
12. Connect the shift solenoid valve connectors: BLU wire to shift solenoid valve A.
ORN wire to shift solenoid valve B.
GRN wire to shift solenoid valve C.
YEL, WHT, and WHT wire connector to shiftsolenoid valve D.
RED wire to shift solenoid valve E.
13. Install a new gasket, the dowel pins, and the shift solenoid valve cover.
14. Check the connector for rust, dirt, or oil, clean or repair if necessary, then connect the connector
securely. 15. Refill the transmission with ATF (see step 5 on page
14-232).
16. Install the battery tray, the battery base, and the resonator.
17. Install the air cleaner assembly (see page 11-345) and the intake air duct (see page 11-348).
18. Do the battery installation procedure (see page 22-69).
19. Install the splash shield.
