Inspection

  1. Turn the ignition off.
  2. Remove the battery and battery tray.
  3. Disconnect the solenoid valve connector (A).
  4. Measure the resistance between the sensor signal terminal and the sensor ground terminal.
  5. Make sure the resistance is within specification.
    • If an input/output speed sensor DTC is detected, replace the sensor in accordance with the Removal/Installation procedures.

Removal

  1. Remove the air cleaner assembly and air duct. (Refer to Engine Mechanical System - "Air Cleaner")
  2. Remove the drain plug (A) and drain all ATF, then reinstall the drain plug.
    • Replace the gasket before reinstalling the drain plug.
    • After installation, start the engine, then check for leaks from the drain plug.
  3. Remove the wiring harness clamp (A).
  4. Disconnect the breather hose (B) from the valve body cover.

    Tightening torque: 9.8 ~ 11.8 N·m

  5. Disconnect the hose (A) after removing the hose clamp from the automatic transmission fluid cooler.
    • Carefully install the clamp so as not to damage the hose.
    • Install the clamp in the correct direction so that it does not interfere with other parts.
    • After installation, start the engine and check the hose for leaks.
  6. Disconnect the ATF warmer hose (A).
  7. Remove the heater pipe mounting bolt.

    • Install the clamp in the correct direction so that it does not interfere with other parts.
    • After installation, start the engine and check the hose for leaks.
  8. Remove the valve body cover (A).

    Tightening torque: 11.8 ~ 13.7 N·m
    • Replace the gasket (A) before reinstalling the valve body cover.
    • After installation, start the engine, then check for leaks from the valve body cover.
  9. Disconnect the fluid temperature sensor and solenoid valve connector (A) from the valve body.

    Tightening torque: 9.8 ~ 11.8 N·m
    • Check for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, wear, or damage before reinstalling the solenoid valve connector.
  10. Remove the valve body assembly (A).

    Tightening torque: 9.8 ~ 11.8 N·m

  11. Disconnect the input and output speed sensor connector (A).
  12. Loosen the main connecting bolt (B).

    Tightening torque: 9.8 ~ 11.8 N·m

  13. Disconnect the solenoid valve connector (A).
  14. Remove the mounting clip of the solenoid valve connector (A).
  15. Disconnect the solenoid valve connector (A) by pressing down from the transaxle.
    • Replace the O-ring (A) before reinstalling the solenoid valve connector.

Installation

  1. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
  2. Check the fluid level after filling the automatic transaxle with fluid. (Refer to Hydraulic System - Fluid)
