Automatic Transaxle Control System - Hev: Removal & Installation Kia Optima III

Installation

In the case of the vehicle equipped with immobilizer or button engine start system, perform "Key Teaching" procedure together (Refer to " IMMOBILIZER LAMP " or "Button Engine Start System in BE group).

1. Installation is reverse of removal.

Removal

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)
