Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather the necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.

  3. Refill the transmission with the recommended fluid type (check owner’s manual for specifications).
  4. Start the engine and cycle through all gears to circulate the new fluid before checking the level again.

3. Repair or Replace Wiring and Connectors

4. Replace Transmission Control Module (if necessary)

• Sub-steps:
  1. Locate the TCM, typically found near the transmission or under the dashboard.
  2. Disconnect the wiring harness from the TCM.
  3. Remove the mounting screws and take out the old TCM.
