CONTROL VALVE BODY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [FS5A-EL]

Primary Control Valve Body On-Vehicle Removal

WARNING:
- A hot transaxle and ATF can cause severe burns. Turn off the engine and wait until they are cool.
- Using compressed air can cause dirt and other particles to fly out, causing injury to the eyes. Wear protective eyeglasses whenever using compressed air.

1. Remove the battery cover. Removal and Replacement

2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

3. Remove the aerodynamic under cover NO.2. Aerodynamic Under Cover No. 2 Removal/Installation

4. Clean the transaxle exterior throughout with a steam cleaner or cleaning solvents.

5. Drain the ATF. Automatic Transaxle Fluid (ATF) Replacement

6. Remove the oil pan.

7. Remove the oil strainer.

8. Disconnect each solenoid valve connector and GND.






9. Remove the bolts as shown, then remove the primary control valve body.






10. Remove the accumulators and accumulator springs.






Primary Control Valve Body On-Vehicle Installation

CAUTION:
- Be sure to align the parking rod and the manual valve.






1. Install the accumulator springs, accumulators and primary control valve body.





Accumulator spring specification





2. Tighten the bolts as shown to install the primary control valve body.
