Installation

  1. Installation is reverse of removal. NOTE: In the case of the vehicle equipped with immobilizer or button engine start system, perform "Key Teaching" procedure together. Refer to «TEACHING PROCEDURES»(ref-429553-S12950411932011101500000) .
  1. Installation is the reverse of removal. NOTE: After replacement or reinstallation procedure of the valve body assembly, must perform procedures below. Continue to apply liquid gasket at application points at the valve body cover with Ø2.5 mm (0.0984 in.) thickness. Liquid gasket Part name : Threebond 1281B or LOCTITE FMD-546 Adding automatic transaxle fluid. Refer to «HYDRAULIC SYSTEM (FLUID)»(ref-429640-S06039938592011101500000) .

Removal

Note. 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 .
