  3. Install the control valve body so that the parking assist lever component is engaged in the gap between the two surfaces of the spool part of the manual valve.
    CAUTION:
    • Install the control valve body so that the turbine/input shaft speed sensor, output shaft speed sensor, and control valve body connector do not contact the transaxle case.

    CAUTION:
    • Make sure that your hand does not touch the terminal as the connector terminal could be damaged.
    • Verify that there is no fluid or foreign matter adhering to the connector before connecting the connector.
    • Insert the connector straight as the connector terminal could be damaged.
    • Rotate the connector lever until a click is heard.
  12. Add the ATF. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID (ATF) REPLACEMENT .)
  13. Install the air cleaner component. (See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0] .)
  14. Connect the negative battery cable. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION .)
  15. Perform the "TCM configuration" (Control valve body Replacement). (See TCM CONFIGURATION .)
    CAUTION:
    • The transaxle does not operate normally if the TCM configuration is not performed. When the control valve body is replaced, always perform the TCM configuration to enable the transaxle to operate normally.
    • When the control valve body is replaced, a U-code DTC is output. After completing the TCM configuration, clear the U-code DTC and verify that no DTCs are output.
  16. Delete the U code and verify that no DTC is output. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DTC INSPECTION [TCM (EW6A-EL/EW6AX-EL)] .)
  17. Perform the "Initial Learning" (Control valve body Replacement). (See INITIAL LEARNING .)
  18. Perform the "Mechanical System Test". (See MECHANICAL SYSTEM TEST .)
  19. Install the front under cover No. 2. (See FRONT UNDER COVER NO. 2 REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
