Kia Optima: Removal
Replacing an on/off solenoid valve (SS-A, SS-B) does not require additional
hydraulic pressure adjustment; however, the hydraulic pressure will need
to be adjusted after replacing the VFS solenoid valve. If replacing the
VFS solenoid valve; also replace the valve body assembly. (Refer to "Valve
Body" in this group) |
