SERVICE PROCEDURE:





1. Open the hood and unclip the air duct mounting clips.





2. Remove the air duct (B).





3. Remove the air cleaner mounting bolt (C).





4. Remove the remaining bolts to the air cleaner, and then move the air cleaner aside.





5. Release the clamps (D) of both oil cooler hoses (Yellow and Red) on the transaxle side.

Remove the oil cooler hoses from the pipe.





6. Release the clamps of the oil cooler hoses (White) on the radiator side.

Slide the clamps down the hose to location (D) and remove the hoses.





7. Place a shop towel under the hoses on the radiator side to prevent oil spillage on the surrounding parts.

* NOTE
Apply oil on the end portion of the new oil cooler hoses to easily install them to the pipe.





8. When installing new oil cooler hoses, match color markings on the transaxle side oil tube end.

- Feed tube (F): Yellow
- Return tube (G): Red





9. Connect the new oil cooler hoses to the corresponding pipes at the transaxle and then install the clamps.

Connect the new oil cooler hoses to the oil cooler and install the clamps.





10. Move the clamp between the nipples of the pipe as shown by the arrows to secure the new oil cooler hoses.

11. Reinstall all the removed parts in the reverse order of removal.

12. Start the engine and check for oil leaks from the oil cooler hoses.

13. Attach the GDS to the DLC and select vehicle, A/T menu, Current Data and "Oil Temperature Sensor".





Start the engine and shift to Park. When the ATF is 122°F - 140°F, remove the level checking plug. The level is correct when oil flows out of the overflow plug in a thin steady stream. If not, add approximately 0.5 quarts of SPH-IV ATF to the fill plug and reinstall the fill plug. Repeat Step 13.

NOTE:
Collect and dispose of any excess fluid in accordance with local regulations.
