COUPLING COMPONENT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION


id031900001200

Oil and Chemical Type

Sealant
 
Type: TB1217C or equivalent

Caution
•  If the characteristic value of a new coupling component is not input to the PCM or the characteristic value is input incorrectly after replacing the coupling component, it could result in the following conditions.
―  The system does not operate normally.
―  A problem with durability of the coupling component occurs.
•  After replacing the coupling component, read out the characteristic value of a new coupling component and write it to the PCM. (See COUPLING COMPONENT CALIBRATION DATA WRITING.)
•  Read out the characteristic value of the coupling component from the label or mark shown in the figure.

Coupling Component Installation Note

Note
•  Clean away the remaining silicone sealant before applying new silicone sealant.
•  Install the coupling component before the applied silicone sealant starts to harden.
•  Add rear differential oil after the silicone sealant hardens.

1.  Apply a thin layer of silicone sealant TB1217C or equivalent to the contact surfaces of the coupling component and the rear differential.
