13. Install the A/T fluid temperature sensor 2 or plug as shown below.
a.

A/T fluid temperature sensor 2

i.

Install A/T fluid temperature sensor 2 to bracket.

ii.

Install A/T fluid temperature sensor 2 (with bracket) to control

valve with TCM and tighten bolt to specified torque.

CAUTION:

Adjust bolt hole of bracket to bolt hole of control valve.

b.

Plug

NOTE:

• When replacing the A/T fluid temperature sensor 2 with the plug, the A/T fluid temperature sensor 2 con-

nector should not be connected.

• Fold the terminal clips.

i.

Install new O-ring (1) in plug (2).

iii. Install plug (1) [with bracket (2)] to control valve with TCM and

tighten bolt (

) to specified torque.

CAUTION:

Adjust bolt hole of bracket to bolt hole of control valve.

14. Install control valve with TCM in transmission case.

CAUTION:

• Make sure that input speed sensor is securely installed

into input speed sensor hole (A).

• Hang down output speed sensor harness toward outside

so as not to disturb installation of control valve with TCM.

• Adjust A/T assembly harness connector of control valve

with TCM to terminal hole of transmission case.

• Assemble it so that manual valve cutout is engaged with

manual plate projection.

15. Install bolts (A), (B) and (C) to control valve with TCM.

16. Tighten bolt (1), (2) and (3) temporarily to prevent dislocation.

After that tighten them in order (A 

→

 B 

→

 C), and then tighten

other bolts. Tighten control valve with TCM bolts to the specified

torque.
