●
When connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or
from TCM, take care not to damage pin terminals (bend or
break).
Make sure that there are not any bends or breaks on TCM
pin terminal, when connecting pin connectors.
●
Before replacing TCM, perform TCM input/output signal
inspection and make sure whether TCM functions properly
or not. Refer to
AT-37, "INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL OF TCM"
.
●
After performing each TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS, perform
“DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) CONFIRMATION PROCE-
DURE”.
The DTC should not be displayed in the “DTC CONFIRMA-
TION PROCEDURE” if the repair is completed.
●
Before proceeding with disassembly, thoroughly clean the out-
side of the transaxle. It is important to prevent the internal parts
from becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.
●
Disassembly should be done in a clean work area.
●
Use lint-free cloth or towels for wiping parts clean. Common
shop rags can leave fibers that could interfere with the operation
of the transaxle.
●
Place disassembled parts in order for easier and proper assembly.
●
All parts should be carefully cleaned with a general purpose, non-flammable solvent before inspection or
reassembly.
●
Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time the transaxle is disassembled.
●
It is very important to perform functional tests whenever they are indicated.
●
The valve body contains precision parts and requires extreme care when parts are removed and serviced.
Place disassembled valve body parts in order for easier and proper assembly. Care will also prevent
springs and small parts from becoming scattered or lost.
●
Properly installed valves, sleeves, plugs, etc. will slide along bores in valve body under their own weight.
●
Before assembly, apply a coat of recommended ATF to all parts. Apply petroleum jelly to protect O-rings
and seals, or hold bearings and washers in place during assembly. Do not use grease.
●
Extreme care should be taken to avoid damage to O-rings, seals and gaskets when assembling.
●
Replace ATF cooler if excessive foreign material is found in oil pan or clogging strainer. Refer to
.
●
After overhaul, refill the transaxle with new ATF.
●
When the A/T drain plug is removed, only some of the fluid is drained. Old A/T fluid will remain in torque
converter and ATF cooling system.
Always follow the procedures when changing A/T fluid. Refer to
AAT470A
