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.
- Be careful not to damage the parts located under the vehicle (floor under cover, fuel filter, fuel tank and canister) when raising the vehicle using the lift.
(Refer to General Information - "LIFT AND SUPPORT POINTS ")
- Shut off the high voltage circuit.
(Refer to Automatic Transaxle System - " HIGH VOLTAGE SHUT-OFF PROCEDURES ")
- Remove the engine room under cover.
(Refer to Engine Mechanical System - " ENGINE ROOM UNDER COVER ")
- Remove the drain plug (A) and reinstall the drain plug after draining ATF totally.
