Repair Procedures: Removal
CAUTION:
- When the solenoid valve Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) is on, perform the following procedure to replace it.
- Automatic transaxle is composed of delicate components. Be careful not to cause any damage on the component in the course of assembly and disassembly.
- Maintain clean condition so that foreign substance does not get into the automatic transaxle.
- Use a coated apron, latex gloves, and stainless tray to prevent foreign substance from getting into the transaxle.
- Automatic transaxle fluid (ATF) can be reused. Collect it using a clean 10-liter beaker.
- Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect the negative (-) battery cable.
- Remove the air duct and air cleaner assembly.
(Refer to Engine Mechanical System - "AIR CLEANER ")
- Discharge the automatic transaxle fluid (ATF).
(Refer to Automatic Transaxle System - "AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID (ATF) ")
- Disconnect the wiring fixing clip (A).
- Disconnect the air breather hose (B) from the valve body cover.
- Disconnect the ATF cooler hose (A).CAUTION:
- Be careful not to cause any damage on the hose when tightening the clamp.
- Mount the clamp tightening part in the designated direction so that interference does not occur with the adjacent parts.
- After connecting the hose, check for oil leakage on the connecting part while the engine is on.
- Remove the front wheel guard of left side. (Refer to Body - "FRONT WHEEL GUARD ")
- Disconnect the resonator wiring fixing clip (A), (B).
- Remove the resonator (C) after removing the mounting bolt (A), (B).
- Unscrew the bolts and then 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)
CAUTION:- When re-mounting the valve body cover, replace the gasket with a new one.
- After mounting the valve body cover, check for oil leakage on the connecting part while the engine is on.
- Unscrew the bolts and then disconnect the solenoid valve connector (A).
- Remove the support bracket mounting bolt (A).
Tightening torque:
9.8 - 11.8 N.m (1.0 - 1.2 kgf.m, 7.2 - 8.7 lb-ft)
- Remove the support bracket (A).
- Remove the torque converter control solenoid valve (A).
- To install, reverse the removal procedure.
- Inject the automatic transaxle oil and inspect the oil level.
(Refer to Automatic Transaxle System - "AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID (ATF) ")
- Clear the diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) using the GDS.
Information
- Even though disconnecting the battery negative terminal, the DTCs will not be cleared. So, be sure to clear the DTCs using the GDS.
- In order to prevent start delay and gear shift shock during acceleration and start, perform TCM Learning after replacing the solenoid valve.
