4. Check the connector for rust, dirt, or oil, and clean if necessary, then connect the connector securely.  

5. Install the air cleaner assembly.  

2ND CLUTCH TRANSMISSION FLUID PRESSURE SWITCH REPLACEMENT 

1. Remove the air cleaner assembly.  

2. Disconnect the 2nd clutch transmission fluid pressure switch connector, and remove the 2nd clutch 

transmission fluid pressure switch.  

3. Install the new 2nd clutch transmission fluid pressure switch (A) with a new sealing washer (B). Tighten 

the switch to the specified torque on the metal part, not the plastic part.

2. Reinstall the drain plug with a new sealing washer (B).  

3. Place the transmission jack under the transmission, and lift it up to create clearance between the 

transmission and front subframe.  

4. Disconnect the shift solenoid harness connector.  

5. Remove the shift solenoid valve cover (A), gasket (B), and dowel pins (C).

7. Measure the ATF temperature sensor resistance between shift solenoid harness connector terminals No. 6 

and No. 7. 

Standard: 50 ohms-25 kohms  

8. If the resistance is out of standard, replace the ATF temperature sensor and solenoid harness; go to step 9. 

The ATF temperature sensor is not available separately from the solenoid harness. 

If the measurement is within the standard, install the removed parts; go to step 12. 

9. Disconnect the connectors from the shift solenoid valves.  

10. Connect the shift solenoid valve D connector (A) with the ATF temperature sensor (B) on the shift 

solenoid harness.

11. Connect the solenoid valve A connector (BLU wire) (C), solenoid valve B connector (ORN wire) (D), 

solenoid valve C connector (GRN wire) (E), and solenoid valve E connector (RED wire) (F).  

12. Install the new O-ring (G) on the shift solenoid harness connector (H), and install the connector in the 

transmission housing.  

13. Install the shift solenoid valve cover, dowel pins and a new gasket.  

14. Check the connector for rust, dirt, or oil, then connect the connector securely.  

15. Remove the transmission jack.  

16. Refill the transmission with ATF (see step 5 ).
