Replacing an on/off solenoid valve (SS-A, SS-B) does not require additional hydraulic pressure adjustment; however, the hydraulic pressure will need to be adjusted after replacing the VFS solenoid valve. If replacing the VFS solenoid valve; also replace the valve body assembly. (Refer to "Valve Body" in this group)
Remove the battery and the battery tray. (Refer to "Charging system" in EE group.)
Remove the under cover (A).
Tightening torque:
7.8 ~ 11.7 N.m (0.8 ~ 1.2 kgf.m, 5.7 ~ 8.6 lb-ft)
Replace new gasket and the plug after draining the automatic transaxle fluid by removing the drain plug. (Refer to "Hydraulic system (Fluid)" in this group)
Remove the valve body cover (B) and eyebolt (A).
Tightening torque:
(A) 34.3 ~ 44.1 N.m (3.5 ~ 4.5 kgf.m, 25.3 ~ 32.6 lb-ft)
(B) 13.8 ~ 14.7 N.m (1.3 ~ 1.5 kgf.m, 9.4 ~ 10.8 lb-ft)
Always replace the gasket of the eyebolt use new one whenever loosening eyebolt.
Remove installation bolts in the engine compartment first and then remove others under the vehicle.
Remove the bolt (3ea) after disconnecting the solenoid valve connector (A) and the oil temperature sensor connector (B).
Tightening torque:
9.8 ~ 11.8 N.m (1.0 ~ 1.2 kgf.m, 7.2 ~ 8.7 lb-ft)
Remove the solenoid valve (B) after removing the solenoid support (A).
