Removal Procedure


    Object Number: 1205810  Size: SH
  1. Remove the transmission side cover. Refer to Control Valve Body Cover Replacement .
  2. Remove the six bolts from the transmission fluid pressure (TFP) switch assembly.
  3. Remove the TFP switch assembly from the control valve body assembly. The 4 pressure switch O-rings are reusable and should remain with the TFP switch assembly.

Installation Procedure


    Object Number: 1205810  Size: SH
  1. Install the TFP switch assembly to the control valve body assembly . The 4 pressure switch O-rings are reusable and should remain with the TFP switch assembly.
  2. Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

  3. Install the six bolts to the TFP switch assembly.
  4. Tighten
    Tighten the bolts to 12 N·m (9 lb ft).

  5. Install the transmission side cover. Refer to Control Valve Body Cover Replacement .
  6. Important: It is recommended that transmission adaptive pressure (TAP) information be reset.

    Resetting the TAP values using a scan tool will erase all learned values in all cells. As a result, The ECM, PCM or TCM will need to relearn TAP values. Transmission performance may be affected as new TAP values are learned.

  7. Reset the TAP values. Refer to Transmission Adaptive Functions .
