The first step to service and repair the Transmission Position Switch/Sensor for the 5R44E and 5R55E models is to position the vehicle on a hoist and set the transmission to neutral. You should disconnect the selector lever cable from both the manual control lever and the electrical connector from Transmission Range (TR) Sensor. Start by removing the manual control outer lever nut after which you disconnect both the manual control outer lever and the screws that secure the Transmission Range sensor. Begin by placing the TR sensor directly against the case boss before installing its screws in a loose state. combination usage of the TR Sensor Alignment Gauge requires an alternating screw tightening method until screws reach their specified final torque setting of 10 Nm at 89 lb-in. You should install the manual control lever and its nut to 48 Nm (35 lb-ft) torque. Connect the TR sensor electrical cables together with the manual selector cable to the manual control lever while ensuring proper position of the selector cable during this process.
