Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Main Control
The hydraulic system has a main control assembly. The main control assembly consists of a valve body and a solenoid body. Both the valve body and the solenoid body contain hydraulic shift valves. The solenoid body contains the shift solenoids that control the hydraulic valves. The solenoid body can be serviced as an assembly with the solenoids or the solenoids can be serviced individually. The solenoid body is controlled by the PCM. The PCM has software stored in it specific to the solenoid body currently in the transaxle, called the solenoid body strategy. A new solenoid body strategy must be downloaded into the PCM anytime a new solenoid body is installed.
The pump assembly contains the main pressure regulator valve assembly and the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) control valve assembly.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
