Caution

• Performing the following procedures without first removing the ABS wheel-speed sensor may possibly cause an open circuit in the harness if it is pulled by mistake. Before performing the following procedures, remove the ABS wheel-speed sensor (axle side) and fix it to an appropriate place where the sensor will not be pulled by mistake while servicing the vehicle.

• Secure the steering wheel using tape or a cable to prevent the steering shaft from rotating after disconnecting the steering shaft. If the steering wheel rotates after the steering shaft and the steering gear and linkage are disconnected, the internal parts of the clock spring could be damaged.

1.Disconnect the negative battery cable.

2.Remove the following parts.

(1)Battery and battery tray (See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L3 Turbo].)

(2)Air cleaner component (See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L3 Turbo].)

(3)Engine charge air cooler cover

(4)Charge air cooler (See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L3 Turbo])

(5)Windshield wiper arm and blade (See WINDSHIELD WIPER ARM AND BLADE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

(6)Cowl grille (See COWL GRILLE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

(7)Front wheel

(8)Splash shield

(9)Side cover

(10)Propeller shaft (transfer side) (See PROPELLER SHAFT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

3.Drain the ATF. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID (ATF) REPLACEMENT [AW6A-EL, AW6AX-EL].)

Warning

• Improperly jacking a transaxle is dangerous. It can slip off the jack and may cause serious injury.

Caution

• To prevent the torque converter and transaxle from separating, remove the transaxle without tilting it toward the torque converter.

4.Remove in the order shown in the figure.

5.Install in the reverse order of removal.

6.Add ATF to the specified level. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID (ATF) REPLACEMENT [AW6A-EL, AW6AX-EL].)

7.Perform the mechanical system test. (See MECHANICAL SYSTEM TEST [AW6A-EL, AW6AX-EL].)

2.Install the No.1 engine mount rubber to the bracket, then temporarily tighten bolt C.

3.Tighten the No.1 engine mount bracket bolt A and B in order of A→B.

4.Fully tighten the bolt C.

Note

• Bolt C can be tightened from the nut side. When tightening from the nut side, tighten it according to the following tightening torque.

• The tightening torque when tightening from the bolt side is different than when doing it from the nut side because the amount of force required to tighten the respective mount areas differs. These differences in force applied to the mount areas is because of the differences in the contacting surfaces of the mount areas and the material.
