Did you make sure it was the same one? I don't know if there is a difference in the 2 models when it comes to the transmissions.

Why didn't you just change out the solenoids since that's what the error was for?

You should of been able to replace the sealing sleeves, gaskets and solenoid with new oil and been good after an adaption reset.

I replaced the sealing sleeves , gaskets plus the solenoid but when i was putting back the valve boday i broke a conncter pin on the TCU and thats why i had to replace the whole unit. The first picture is the part number from Realoem with my vin

The Picture below is the part number from the donor vehicle. The part numbers match.

I read you last post wrong. You did the install wrong and probably installed the bridge seal upside down. Did you get the 4 tube seals, bridge gasket and sealing sleeve. If not I would. Take apart and ensure your cable is seated and fluid is filled correctly. Check and make sure the bridge seal is in right also

Ok then you should be good. You need to make the procedure you used is correct. Bridge seal, the right tube seals went in correctly (2 are different lengths) and fill procedure is correct. Your part is good if that's your only issue.

I followed the recommended refill procedure.Filled it first with 3-4 quarts and then Filled it again with the engine running, the temperature of fluid at 40 deg C until full.

Your old mech still have the solenoids. Replace number 3. Do you have the car apart now or troubleshooting the code

I already replaced the solenoids.Replaced all the seals and refilled the Transmission fluid. Now am stuck at trying to pair and code the TCU to my car.
