Adjustment of A/T PositionBCS0014X
Move selector lever from “P” position to “1” position. You should be
able to feel the detents in each position. If the detents cannot be felt
or if the pointer indicating the position is improperly aligned, the con-
trol cable needs adjustment.
1. Place selector lever in “P” position.
2. Loosen control cable lock nut and place manual shaft in “P”
position.
CAUTION:
Turn wheels more than 1/4 rotations and apply the park
lock.
3. After pushing the control cable with the specified force, move
your hands off the control cable.
4. Connect control cable on manual shaft.
CAUTION:
No application of a force to the manual lever.
5. Tighten control cable lock nut.
6. Move selector lever from “P” to “1” position again. Make sure that selector lever moves smoothly.
7. Apply grease to contacting areas of selector lever and control cable. Install any part removed.
Checking of A/T PositionBCS0014Y
1. Place selector lever in “P” position, and turn ignition switch ON. (Do not start engine.)
2. Make sure selector lever can be shifted to other than “P” position when brake pedal is depressed. Also
make sure selector lever can be shifted from “P” position only when brake pedal is depressed.
3. Move selector lever and check for excessive effort, sticking, noise or rattle.
4. Confirm selector lever stops at each position with the feel of engagement when it is moved through all the
positions. Check whether or not the actual position selector lever is in matches the position shown by the
shift position indicator and transaxle body.
5. The method of operating selector lever to individual positions
correctly should be as shown in the figure.
6. Confirm back-up lamps illuminate only when lever is placed in
“R” position. Confirm back-up lamps do not illuminate when
selector lever is in “P” or “N” position with selector lever pushed
against “R” position.
7. Confirm engine can only be started with selector lever in “P” and
“N” positions.
8. Make sure transaxle is locked completely in “P” position.Specified force: 9.8 N (1.0 kg, 2.2 lb)

3. Disconnect terminal cord assembly harness connector.
4. Remove snap ring from terminal body.
5. Remove terminal cord assembly by pushing terminal body into
transaxle case.
6. Remove engine under cover.
7. Remove front LH nut of front suspension member, and then
lower front LH of front suspension member to secure a space for
removing control valve assembly.
8. Drain ATF from A/T. Refer to AT- 1 5 , "
Changing A/T Fluid" .
9. Remove oil pan and oil pan gasket.
10. Check foreign materials in oil pan to help determine causes of
malfunction. If the ATF is very dark, smells burned, or contains
foreign particles, frictional material (clutches, band) may need
replacement. A tacky film that will not wipe clean indicates var-
nish build up. Varnish can cause valves, servo, and clutches to
stick and can inhibit pump pressure.

If frictional material is detected, replace radiator after
repair of A/T. Refer to CO-13, "
RADIATOR" , CO-16,
"RADIATOR (ALUMINUM TYPE)" (QR engine) or CO-37,
"RADIATOR" , CO-40, "RADIATOR (ALUMINUM TYPE)"
(VQ engine).
11. Remove control valve assembly fixing bolts A, B and C .

Installation and Inspection of Torque Converter

After inserting a torque converter to a A/T, be sure to check
dimension “A” to ensure it is within the reference value limit.
INSTALLATION
Install removed parts in the reverse order of the removal, while paying attention to the following work.

When installing transaxle to engine, attach fixing bolts in accordance with the following standard.

Align the positions of tightening bolts for drive plate with those of
torque converter, and temporarily tighten bolts. Then, tighten
bolts with the specified torque.
CAUTION:

When turning crankshaft, turn it clockwise as viewed from
front of engine.

When tightening the tighten bolts for the torque converter
after fixing crankshaft pulley bolts, be sure to confirm the
tightening torque of crankshaft pulley mounting bolts.
Refer to EM-53, "
TIMING CHAIN" (QR engine), EM-173, "TIMING CHAIN" (VQ engine).

After converter is installed to drive plate, rotate crankshaft several turns and make sure that tran-
saxle rotates freely without binding.

Install POS sensor. Refer to EM-145, "Removal and Installation" .

After completing installation, check for A/T fluid leakage, A/T fluid level, and positions of A/T. Refer to AT-
14, "Checking A/T Fluid" , AT- 2 1 5 , "Adjustment of A/T Position" , AT- 2 1 5 , "Checking of A/T Position" . : 52 N·m (5.3 kg-m, 38 ft-lb)
