Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts required for the repair.
• Disconnect the battery to ensure safety while working on electrical components.

2. Replace Transmission Fluid

1. Drain Fluid:

   • Locate the transmission fluid pan.
   • Remove the drain plug and allow the fluid to drain completely.
   • Dispose of the old fluid properly.

2. Replace Filter:

   • Remove the transmission pan by unscrewing the bolts (use a socket set).
   • Carefully clean the mating surfaces and remove the old filter.
   • Install the new filter, ensuring it’s seated correctly.

3. Reinstall Pan:

   • Install a new gasket on the transmission pan.
   • Reattach the pan and torque the bolts to the manufacturer’s specifications (usually around 8-10 ft-lbs).

4. Refill Fluid:

   • Use a funnel to refill the transmission with the appropriate type of fluid (check owner’s manual for specifications).
   • Start the engine and let it idle to circulate the fluid.
   • Check the fluid level and add more if necessary.

3. Repair Wiring Connections

1. Inspect Wiring:

   • Examine the wiring harness for any frayed wires or damaged connectors.
   • Repair or replace any damaged wiring as necessary.

2. Reconnect TCM:

   • Ensure all connectors to the TCM are clean and securely connected.

4. Reprogram TCM (if necessary)

• If a new TCM was installed or if the old one was reset, use a diagnostic scanner to reprogram the TCM according to manufacturer specifications.
