How do you change governor pressure sensor and solenoid for 2004 jeep Cherokee Laredo?

Answer 1

I am going to give you the information for a 4.0L, if you have the 4.7L V8 let me know and I will send that information

This is a fairly easy repair, when I do this I replace the governor pressure sensor and the transducer, that way you wont have to go back in if the other fails, you should also replace the filter while the pan is off

1. Hoist and support vehicle on safety stands.
2. Place a large diameter shallow drain pan beneath the transmission pan.
3. Remove bolts holding front and sides of pan to transmission
4. Loosen bolts holding rear of pan to transmission.
5. Slowly separate front of pan and gasket away from transmission allowing the fluid to drain into drain pan.
6. Hold up pan and remove remaining bolt holding pan to transmission.
7. While holding pan level, lower pan and gasket away from transmission.
8. Pour remaining fluid in pan into drain pan.
9. Remove screws holding filter to valve body
10. Separate filter from valve body and pour fluid in filter into drain pan.
11. Dispose of used trans fluid and filter properly.
12. Disengage wire connectors from pressure sensor and solenoid
13. Remove screws holding pressure solenoid retainer to governor body.
14. Separate solenoid retainer from governor
15. Pull solenoid from governor body
16. Pull pressure sensor from governor body.
17. Remove bolts holding governor body to valve body.
18. Separate governor body from valve body
19. Remove governor body gasket.

Before installing the pressure sensor and solenoid in the governor body, replace o-ring seals, clean the gasket surfaces and replace gasket.

1. Place gasket in position on back of governor body
2. Place governor body in position on valve body.
3. Install bolts to hold governor body to valve body.
4. Lubricate o-ring on pressure sensor with Transmission Fluid.
5. Align pressure sensor to bore in governor body.
6. Push pressure sensor into governor body.
7. Lubricate o-ring, on pressure solenoid, with transmission fluid.
8. Align pressure solenoid to bore in governor body
9. Push solenoid into governor body.
10. Place solenoid retainer in position on governor
11. Install screws to hold pressure solenoid retainer to governor body.
12. Engage wire connectors into pressure sensor and solenoid
13. Install transmission fluid pan and (new) filter.
14. Lower vehicle and road test to verify repair.
