•	Replace the gasket before reinstalling the drain plug.

•	After the installation, start the engine and then check if there are any leakages from the drain plug.

Remove the wiring mounting bolt (A) or clip.

Tightening torque :

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

5.	Disconnect the air breather hose(A) from the valve body cover.

Remove the valve body cover (A).

Tightening torque :

11.8 ~ 13.7 N.m (1.2 ~ 1.4 kgf.m, 8.7 ~ 10.1 lb-ft)

•	Replace the gasket (B) before reinstalling the valve body cover.

•	After the installation, start the engine and then check if there are any leakages from the valve body cover.

Disconnect the oil temperature sensor (A) and solenoid valve connector (B) from the valve body.

Tightening torque :

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

•	Check connector for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage before reinstalling the solenoid valve connector.

Remove the solenoid valve support bracket (B) and the valve body mounting bolt (A-1ea).

Tightening torque :

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

9.	Remove the torque converter control solenoid valve (A).

Installation

1.	To install, reverse the removal procedure.

2.	Check fluid level after filling the automatic transaxle with fluid. (Refer to Hydraulic System - "Fluid")

3.	Perform the TCM adaptive values learning procedure. (Refer to Automatic Transaxle Control System - "Repair procedures")
