On-Vehicle Inspection Preparation

When performing the on-vehicle inspection, set the oil cooler out of the way.
1. Disconnect the oil cooler from the transaxle. (See OIL COOLER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
  NOTE:
  - Do not disconnect the oil hose and water hose from the oil cooler and transaxle because the engine is started when performing the on-vehicle inspection.
2. Suspend the oil cooler using rope to secure the disconnected oil cooler.
