COUPLER COMPONENT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [CW6A-EL]


id0517l1112400

Warning
•  A hot transaxle and ATF can cause severe burns. Turn off the engine and wait until they are cool.
•  Always wear protective eye wear when using the air compressor. If the air compressor is used, any particles of dirt or sludge could spatter and get into the eyes.
Caution
•  If the control valve body is placed with the shift solenoid side facing down on a workbench, the wiring harness or connector of the coupler component may be damaged. When placing the control valve body on a workbench, always place it with the control valve body connector side facing down. However if the control valve body is directly placed on the workbench, the control valve body connector area or the sensor may be damaged. Always place the control valve body on an impact-absorbing material, which is free of foreign matter, so that the connector area and the sensor do not contact the workbench directly.

•  Touching the ATF temperature sensor element or the lead wires by hand may cause a malfunction. When handling the coupler component, do not touch the ATF temperature sensor element or the lead wires.

•  Do not apply excessive force to the coupler component wiring harness.
•  Do not twist the coupler component wiring harness.

1.  Select the selector lever to P position.

2.  Disconnect the negative battery cable. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-G 1.5, SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5].)

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

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

5.  Remove the air cleaner component. (See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G 1.5, SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5].)

6.  Remove the control valve body. (See CONTROL VALVE BODY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [CW6A-EL].)

7.  Remove the oil seal (control valve body). (See OIL SEAL (CONTROL VALVE BODY) REPLACEMENT [CW6A-EL].)

8.  Release the tab shown in the figure and disconnect the connector.

Caution
•  When disconnecting connectors, grasp the connectors, not the wiring harnesses. Otherwise, the wiring harnesses may be pulled out of the connector causing poor contact. Disconnect the connector by pulling the connector part straight with the connector tab released.

9.  Loosen the bolts shown in the figure.

Note
•  The connector can be disconnected easily by loosening the bolts.

10.  Release the ON/OFF solenoid connector tab using a finger and disconnect the ON/OFF solenoid connector.

Caution
•  Do not scratch the shift solenoid, shift solenoid connector, oil pressure switch, and oil pressure switch connector with the precision flathead screwdriver.
•  When disconnecting connectors, grasp the connectors, not the wiring harnesses. Otherwise, the wiring harnesses may be pulled out of the connector causing poor contact.

12.  Using pliers, detach the tie wrap clips secured to oil pressure switch A.

Caution
•  The pins for securing the solenoid valves are located in the area circled with a dotted line, and they may drop down and be lost during coupler component removal. When removing the coupler component, be careful not to drop the pins for securing the solenoid valves, and if they do drop, be careful that they do not got lost.

Caution
•  Make sure 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 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.

23.  Add the ATF. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID (ATF) REPLACEMENT [CW6A-EL].)

24.  Install the air cleaner component. (See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G 1.5, SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5].)
