Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts required for the repair.
• Ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and secure it with wheel chocks.
• Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical shorts.

2. Inspect and Replace Transmission Fluid

• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the transmission fluid drain plug using a socket wrench.
  2. Allow the old fluid to completely drain into a suitable container.
  3. Replace the drain plug and torque to manufacturer's specifications (usually around 25 Nm).
  4. Refill the transmission with the manufacturer-recommended fluid through the fill tube until it reaches the proper level.

3. Inspect and Repair Wiring

• Sub-steps:
  1. Visually inspect all wiring harnesses and connectors for wear or damage.

  3. Apply dielectric grease to connectors to prevent corrosion.

4. Test Transmission Solenoids

• Sub-steps:
  1. Disconnect the electrical connector from the solenoid assembly.
  2. Use a multimeter to measure the resistance of each solenoid. Compare against specifications in the service manual (typically 20-30 ohms).
  3. Replace any solenoids that do not meet the specifications.

5. Clear Codes and Test Drive

• Sub-steps:
  1. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
  2. Use the OBD-II scanner to clear the P0700 code and other relevant codes.
