1. Vehicle - Lift

2. Engine Undercover - Remove (With 2WD).

3. Left Front Splash Shield - Remove

4. Engine - Warm Up

1. Start the engine, and warm it up to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on twice).
2. Turn the engine off.

5. Transmission Fluid - Drain

1. Remove the drain plug (A) with the sealing washer (B), and drain the transmission fluid for at least 5 minutes.

   NOTE:

   • Remove metal particles from the magnetic surface of the drain plug.
   • Be careful not to burn yourself by the hot part.
2. Reinstall the drain plug with a new sealing washer.

6. Transmission Fluid Pan - Remove

NOTE: The actual transmission fluid (HCF-2) capacity will vary from the specified capacity based on the length of time the transmission fluid pan is off the transmission. Avoid leaving the transmission fluid pan off for extend periods of time.

7. Transmission Fluid Strainer - Remove

1. Remove the transmission fluid strainer (A) with the O-ring (B).

2. Clean the inlet opening (A) of the transmission fluid strainer (B) thoroughly with compressed air.
3. Check that it is in good condition and that the inlet opening is not clogged.
4. Test the strainer by pouring clean transmission fluid through the inlet opening, and replace it if it is clogged or damaged.

8. Valve Body Assembly - Remove

1. Remove the valve body assembly (A).

   NOTE: Do not damage the solenoid wire harness (B).

2. Disconnect the connector (C).

   NOTE: Check the connector for corrosion, dirt, or oil, and clean or repair if necessary.

9. Solenoid Wire Harness - Remove

10. Transmission Fluid Pipe - Remove

1. Remove the transmission fluid pipes (A) with the O-rings (B).

  • CVT lock-up clutch control solenoid valve
  • Shift solenoid valve B
• Apply a light coat of clean transmission fluid on all O-rings before installation.

1. Transmission Fluid Pipe - Install

1. Install the transmission fluid pipes (A) with new O-rings (B).

   NOTE: Be careful not to damage the O-rings while installing the transmission fluid pipes.

2. Solenoid Wire Harness - Install
