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
1. | Remove the automatic transaxle assembly. (Refer to "Automatic Transaxle/Repair procedures" in AT group.)
2. | Remove the air breeder hose (A).
3. | Remove the valve body cover (B).
Tightening torque : 12.8 ~ 14.7 N.m (1.3 ~ 1.5 kgf.m, 9.4 ~ 10.9 lb-ft)
4. | 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)
5. | 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)
6. | Remove the torque converter control solenoid valve (A).
Installation
1. | Installation is the reverse of removal.
After replacement or reinstallation procedure of the valve body assembly, must perform procedures below.
• | 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 "Hydraulic system (Fluid)" in this group)
• | Perform TCM learning after replacing the automatic transaxle to prevent slow automatic transaxle response, jerky acceleration and jerky startup. (Refer to "Automatic transaxle control system (Repair procedures)" in this group)
