Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (See: Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.

* Control solenoid valve assembly replacement. Refer to Control Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and

Relearning) for replacement, setup, and programming.

* Perform the Service Fast Learn Adapts (See: Transmission and Drivetrain/Automatic Transmission/Transaxle/Testing and

Inspection/Programming and Relearning) following all transmission related repairs.

Circuit/System Description

The primary source of heat in the transmission is the drive motor generators. The drive motor generators are cooled by the transmission fluid. Hot

fluid exits the drive motor generators and flows to the transmission cooler supply line. The supply line connects to the cooler, which is in front of

the radiator. The transmission fluid cooler pipe assembly is equipped with an internal thermostat that opens at 80掳C (176掳F) for optimum

transmission operation and fuel economy. The transmission cooler pipe thermostat is part of the transmission fluid cooler pipe assembly, located

near the transmission and is not serviced separately. From the cooler, the fluid returns through the transmission fluid cooler pipe assembly and

enters the lubrication circuits. After lubricating the internal components, the fluid returns to the oil pan. The transmission fluid temperature sensor is

located in the control solenoid valve assembly and is not serviced separately.
