Removal
1. Position the vehicle on a hoist. Place in NEUTRAL.
2. NOTE: When the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, some abnormal drive symptoms can occur while the vehicle relearns its
adaptive strategy. The customer needs to be notified that they may experience slightly different upshifts, either soft or firm, and this is a temporary
condition and will eventually return to normal operating condition.
Disconnect the battery ground cable.
3. NOTE: If equipped, the transmission servo heat shield needs to be unclipped from the fluid pan rail and positioned out of the way for fluid pan
removal.
Loosen the nut and position the heat shield out of the way.
4. Disconnect the shift cable from the manual control lever.
5. Disconnect the digital Transmission Range (TR) sensor electrical connector.
