This bulletin is being revised to add 2010/2011 model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 08-07-30-040B (Section 07 -
Transmission/Transaxle).
A new transmission oil pan magnet, P/N 29535617, was released for service. The current square transmission oil pan magnet may become saturated
with normal ferrous sediment and the Pressure Control Solenoid (PCS) is now collecting ferrous sediment, making it vary from design. For a given
current the PCS electromagnet is stronger, causing the line pressure to be less than needed.
When checking PCS line pressure (refer to Line Pressure Check in SI) and it shows that the line pressure is lower than required (refer to
Current-Amps/Line Pressure Chart in SI), for a given current at the PCS or the transmission oil pan was removed (for either normal maintenance or
warranty service), only then should the transmission oil pan magnet be upgraded.
1. Remove and discard the original square transmission oil pan magnet and install a new one in the current location (See graphics below for the
correct application).
2. Install the second new transmission oil pan magnet in the following location as shown in the illustration.
4T40 & 4T45
4T65E
Note
Only on 4T65E, the second magnet (left) should be attached to the transmission filter.
If the magnet is attached in any other location, it may cause interference (refer to graphic above).
