• Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical shorts.

2. Inspect and Replace Transmission Fluid

• Check Fluid Level:
  • Remove the transmission dipstick (if applicable) and wipe clean. Reinsert and check fluid level.
  • Fluid should be within the marked range; top off with the manufacturer-approved transmission fluid if low.
• Fluid Change:
  • Raise the vehicle using jack stands.
  • Remove the transmission pan bolts using a socket set.
  • Carefully lower the pan and drain the old fluid into a suitable container.
  • Replace the transmission filter if applicable.
  • Clean the pan and replace the gasket if necessary.
  • Reinstall the transmission pan and torque bolts to the manufacturer’s specifications.
  • Fill the transmission with new fluid using a fluid pump, ensuring the correct type is used as per manufacturer guidelines.

3. TCM Inspection and Replacement

• Inspect Connections:
  • Visually inspect the TCM connectors for corrosion or loose connections.
• Replace TCM (if necessary):
  • Disconnect the wiring harness from the TCM.
  • Remove the TCM mounting bolts and take out the module.
  • Install the new TCM by reversing the removal process, ensuring all connections are secure.
