Kia Sportage Service & Repair Manual (3rd Generation, SL; 2011-2016) / Automatic Transaxle System / Automatic Transaxle Control System / Torque Converter Control Solenoid Valve (T/CON_VFS): Repair procedures

Inspection

1.	Turn ignition switch OFF.

2.	Remove the air duct (A).

Remove the air cleaner assembly.

(1)	Disconnect the breather hose (A) and brake booster intensifier hose.

(2)

Disconnect the air intake hose and then remove the air cleaner assembly (B).

Tightening torque

Hose clamp bolt:

2.9 ~ 4.9 N.m (0.3 ~ 0.5 kgf.m, 2.2 ~ 3.6 lb-ft)

Air cleaner assembly bolts:

7.8 ~ 9.8 N.m (0.8 ~ 1.0 kgf.m, 5.8 ~ 7.2 lb-ft)

4.	Disconnect the solenoid valve connector (A).

5.	Measure resistance between sensor signal terminal and ground terminal.

6.	Check that the resistance is within the specification.

Removal

Remove the under cover (A).

Tightening torque :

19.6 ~ 24.5 N.m (2.0 ~ 2.5 kgf.m, 14.5 ~ 18.1 lb-ft)

Remove the drain plug (A) and drain the ATF totally and then reinstall the drain plug.

Tightening torque :

33.3 ~ 43.1 N.m (3.4 ~ 4.4 kgf.m, 24.6 ~ 31.8 lb-ft)

Must be replaced with new gasket when installing the drain plug.

3.	Remove the air duct (A).

Remove the air cleaner assembly.

Tightening torque

Hose clamp bolt:

2.9 ~ 4.9 N.m (0.3 ~ 0.5 kgf.m, 2.2 ~ 3.6 lb-ft)

Air cleaner assembly bolts:

7.8 ~ 9.8 N.m (0.8 ~ 1.0 kgf.m, 5.8 ~ 7.2 lb-ft)

5.	Disconnect the clip (A) from the valve body cover.

6.	Remove the air breather hose (A).

Remove t he valve body cover (B).

Tightening torque:

13.7 ~ 15.7 N.m (1.4 ~ 1.6 kgf.m, 10.1 ~ 11.6 lb-ft)

8.	Remove the solenoid valve connector (B) and the oil temperature sensor (A).

Remove the solenoid valve support bracket (B) and the valve body mounting bolt (A-1ea).

Tightening torque:

9.8 ~ 11.8 N.m (1.0 ~ 1.2 kgf.m, 7.2 ~ 8.7 lb-ft)

10.	Remove the torque converter control solenoid valve (A).

Installation

Install in the reverse order of removal.

•	Adding Automatic Transaxle Fluid(ATF). (Refer to "Fluid" in Hydraulic System of this group)

•	Perform Transaxle Control Module(TCM) learning after replacing the solenoid valve to prevent slow transaxle response, jerky acceleration and jerky startup. (Refer to "Repair procedures" in Automatic Transaxle Control System of this group)

•	Use new valve body gasket (A).
