COUPLER COMPONENT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [GW6A-EL, GW6AX-EL]

id0517i2112400

Warning

•  Do not perform the procedure while the ATF is at a high temperature. Otherwise, it could cause a serious burn.

•  Always wear protective eyewear when using the air compressor. If an air compressor is used, dust particles or dirt could spatter and get into the eyes.

Caution

•  Placing the control valve body connector side pointed downward could damage the control valve body connector part or sensor. If the servicing can only be performed by pointing the control valve body connector side downward, spread shock-absorbing material, which does not produce dust or foreign matter, and place the control valve body connector part and sensor on the table so that they do not directly contact the table.

1.  Shift the selector lever to the P position.

2.  Disconnect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.)

3.  Remove front under cover No.2. (See FRONT UNDER COVER No.2 REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

4.  Clean the outside of the transaxle using steam or degreaser.

5.  Remove the following parts as a single unit. (See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-D 2.2].)

•  Air cleaner cover

•  Air cleaner element

•  Fresh-air duct

•  Air cleaner case

•  Air hose

•  Resonance chamber

6.  Drain the ATF. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID (ATF) REPLACEMENT [GW6A-EL, GW6AX-EL].)

7.  Remove the control valve body. (See CONTROL VALVE BODY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [GW6A-EL, GW6AX-EL].)

8.  Remove the oil seal (control valve body). (See OIL SEAL (CONTROL VALVE BODY) REPLACEMENT [GW6A-EL, GW6AX-EL].)

9.  Disconnect the coupler component connectors.

Caution

•  Do not scratch the shift solenoid, shift solenoid connector, oil pressure switch, and oil pressure switch connector with the precision flathead screwdriver.

•  Do not pull the wiring harness when disconnecting the connectors. Pulling the wiring harness may cause poor connection.

12.  After verifying that the oil strainer installation bolt hole is not deviated, install the coupler component.

Caution

•  After assembling the coupler component, verify that shift solenoids No.1 to No.4, the pressure control solenoid, and the torque converter clutch control solenoid cannot be pulled out from the control valve body.

14.  Install the control valve body. (See CONTROL VALVE BODY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [GW6A-EL, GW6AX-EL].)

15.  Install front under cover No.2. (See FRONT UNDER COVER No.2 REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

16.  Install the oil seal (control valve body). (See OIL SEAL (CONTROL VALVE BODY) REPLACEMENT [GW6A-EL, GW6AX-EL].)

17.  Install the hose clamp. (See CONTROL VALVE BODY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [GW6A-EL, GW6AX-EL].)

18.  Connect the control valve body connector.

Caution

•  Be careful that your hand does not touch the terminal as the connector terminal could be damaged.

•  Verify that there is no fluid or foreign matter adhering to the inside of the connector before connecting the connector.

•  Insert the connector straight as the connector terminal could be damaged.

•  Rotate the connector lever until a click is heard.

19.  Add ATF. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID (ATF) REPLACEMENT [GW6A-EL, GW6AX-EL].)
