Repair procedures

Inspection

1. Turn ignition switch OFF.

2. Disconnect the oil temperature sensor connector.

3. Measure resistance between sensor signal terminal and sensor ground terminal.

4. Check that the resistance is within the specification.

Removal

NOTE

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)

1. Remove the battery and the battery trау. (Refer to "Charging system" in EE group.)

2. Remove the under cover (A).

Tightening torque: 19.6 ~ 24.5 N.m (2.0 ~ 2.5 kgf.m, 14.5 ~ 18.1 lb-ft)

3. Replace new gasket and the plug after draining the automatic transaxle fluid by removing the drain plug. (Refer to "Hydraulic system (Fluid)" in this group)

4. Remove the valve body cover (A) and eyebolt (B).

Tightening torque:

(A) 13.8 ~ 14.7 N.m (1.3 ~ 1.5 kgf.m, 9.4 ~ 10.8 lb-ft)

(B) 34.3 ~ 44.1 N.m (3.5 ~ 4.5 kgf.m, 25.3 ~ 32.6 lb-ft)

CAUTION

Always replace the gasket of the eyebolt use new one whenever loosening eyebolt.

NOTE

Remove installation bolts in the engin room first and then remove others under the vehicle.

5. Remove the bolt (3ea) after disconnecting the solenoid valve connector (B) and the oil temperature sensor connector (A).

Tightening torque: 9.8 ~ 11.8 N.m (1.0 ~ 1.2 kgf.m, 7.2 ~ 8.7 lb-ft)

6. Remove the solenoid valve (B) after removing the solenoid support (A).

Installation

1. Installation is the reverse of removal.

NOTE

• When installing, apply the ATF oil or white vaseline to the O-ring (A) not to be damaged.

• Continue to apply liquid gasket at application points at the valve body cover with Ø2.5mm (0.0984in.) thickness.

Liquid gasket Part name : Threebond 1281B or LOCTITE FMD-546

• Adding automatic transaxle fluid. (Refer to "automatic transaxle system" in this group.)
