- Remove the air cleaner assembly.
- Disconnect the Mass Air Flow Sensor (MAFS) connector (A).
- Separate the bleeder hose (B).
- Separate the intake hose (C).
- Remove the air cleaner assembly (D).
Tightening torque:
Intake hose clamp: 2.9 - 4.9 N.m (0.3 - 0.5 kgf.m, 2.2 - 3.6 lb-ft)
Air cleaner mounting bolt: 7.8 - 9.8 N.m (0.8 - 1.0 kgf.m, 5.8 - 7.2 lb-ft)
- Loosen the bolt and then removing the wiring bracket (A).
- Remove the under cover (A).
- Loosen the drain plug (A) and then drain the coolant. [case by apply ATF warmer]
- Remove the drain plug (A) and reinstall the drain plug after draining ATF totally.
Drain plug tightening torque:
33.3 - 43.1 N.m (3.4 - 4.4 kgf.m, 24.6 - 31.8 lb-ft)
CAUTION:- Replace the gasket before reinstalling the drain plug.
- Remove the ATF warmer.
(Refer to Automatic Transaxle Cooling System - "ATF WARMER ")
- Loosen the mounting bolts (A) of the valve body cover.
Tightening torque:
11.8 - 13.7 N.m (1.2 - 1.4 kgf.m, 8.7 - 10.1 lb-ft)
CAUTION:- Be careful when removing the valve body cover because the remaining ATF remains in the valve body cover.
CAUTION:- Replace the gasket (A) 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.
- Loosen the bolts and then removing the main harness (A).
Tightening torque:
9.8 - 11.8 N.m (1.0 - 1.2 kgf.m, 7.2 - 8.7 lb-ft)
- Loosen the bolts and then removing the valve body assembly (A).
Tightening torque:
- 9.8 - 11.8 N.m (1.0 - 1.2 kgf.m, 7.2 - 8.7 lb-ft)
CAUTION:- Attach the manual pin (B) to the detent lever (A) and assemble the valve body.
- Disconnect the speed sensor connector (A).
- Remove the speed sensor (A) after loosening the bolts.
Tightening torque:
9.8 - 11.8 N.m (1.0 - 1.2 kgf.m, 7.2 - 8.7 lb-ft)
