REPLACEMENT

If you have a fluid changer, use this changer to replace the fluid. If you do not, replace it using by the following procedure.

  1. Disconnect the hose, which connects the transmission and the oil cooler which is within the radiator only in 2.0L engine (2.7L the oil cooler is separated).
  2. Start the engine and let the fluid drain out. Running conditions: "N" range with engine idling. CAUTION: The engine should be stooped within one minute after it is started. If the fluid has all drained out before then, the engine should be stopped at that point.
  3. Remove the drain plug from the bottom of the transmission case to drain the fluid.
  4. Install the drain plug via the fasket, and tighten it the specified torque. Tightening torque: 29 ~ 34 Nm (290 ~ 340 kgf.cm, 21.4 ~ 25.1 lbf.ft)
  5. Pour the new fluid in through the oil filler tube. CAUTION: Stop pouring if the full volume of fluid cannot be poured in.
  6. Repeat the procedure in step (2). NOTE: Check the old fluid for contamination. If it has been contamination. If it has been contaminated, repeat the steps (5) and (6).
  7. Pour the new fluid in through the oil filler tube.
  8. Reconnect the hose, which was disconnected in step (1) above, and firmly replace the oil level gauge. (In case of this "replace", this means after wiping off any dirt around the oil level gauge, insert it into the filler tube.)
  9. Start the engine and run it at idle for 1~2 minutes.
  10. Move the select lever through all positions, and then move it to the "N" position.
  11. Drive the vehicle until the fluid temperature rises to the normal temperature (70~80°C), and then check the fluid level again. The fluid level must be at the HOT mark.
  12. Firmly insert the oil level gauge (A) into the oil filler tube.

  1. Pull up the parking brake.
  2. Position the shift lever in 'N' range.
  3. Remove the air cleaner assembly.
  4. Remove the battery.
  5. Remove the battery tray (A).
  6. Remove the inhibitor switch connector.
  7. Remove the shift cable mounting nut (A).
  8. Remove the inhibitor switch loosening the mounting bolts.
  9. Referring to 'INSPECTION', check for continuity. If there is an error, replace the inhibitor switch.
  10. After tightening the shift cable mounting nut, connect the inhibitor switch.
  11. Install the battery, battery tray and the air cleaner assembly.

  1. Check for the starter motor when the ignition switch is at 'START' position and the shift lever at 'P' or 'N' range.
  2. Check for the rear lamp when the ignition switch if it does not work properly.
  3. Check for the inhibitor switch if it does not work properly.
  4. If the inhibitor switch is not fixed in a proper position, reassemble it in the right position.
  5. Re-check 1 and 2 procedures.
  6. Using a scan tool, confirm the DTCs.
  7. Disconnect the battery (-) terminal and the inhibitor switch.
  8. Check for continuity between terminals at the switch connector.
  9. If there are not continuity between the terminals in the table above for each switch position, replace the inhibitor switch. See «INHIBITOR SWITCH - CONTINUITY CHECK (SPORTS MODE)»(ref-276745-S42501304602008011000000) .

  1. Set the select lever to the "N" position.
  2. Loosen the control cable to manual control lever coupling nut to free the cable and lever.
  3. Set the manual control lever to the neutral position.
  4. Loosen the transaxle range switch body mounting bolts and then turn the transaxle range switch body so the hole in the end of the manual control lever and the hole (cross section A-A in the figure) in the flange of the transaxle range switch body flange are aligned.
  5. Tighten the transaxle range switch body mounting bolts to the specified torque. Make sure at this time that the position of the switch body did not move. Tightening torque: 10~12 Nm (100~120 kg.cm, 7~8 lb.ft)
  6. Gently pull the transmission control cable in the direction of the arrow, and then tighten the adjusting nut.
  7. Check that the select lever is in the "N" position.
