Checking A/T FluidECS004Q7
1. Warm up engine.
2. Check for fluid leakage.
3. Before driving, fluid level can be checked at fluid temperatures
of 30 to 50°C (86 to 122°F) using “COLD” range on dipstick.
a. Park vehicle on level surface and set parking brake.
b. Start engine and move selector lever through each gear posi-
tion. Leave selector lever in “P” position.
c. Check fluid level with engine idling.
d. Remove dipstick and note reading. If level is at low side of either
range, and fluid to the charging pipe.
e. Re-insert dipstick into charging pipe as far as it will go.
f. Remove dipstick and note reading. If reading is at low side of range, add fluid to the charging pipe.
Do not overfill.
4. Drive vehicle for approximately 5 minutes in urban areas.
5. Re-check fluid level at fluid temperatures of 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F) using “HOT” range on dipstick.
6. Check fluid condition.
lIf fluid is very dark or smells burned, refer to AT section for
checking operation of A/T. Flush cooling system after repair of
A/T.
lIf A/T fluid contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.),
replace radiator and flush cooler line using cleaning solvent
and compressed air after repair of A/T. Refer toCO-12,
"RADIATOR",CO-15, "RADIATOR (ALUMINUM TYPE)",,.
Changing A/T FluidECS004Q8
1. Warm up A/T fluid.
2. Stop engine.
3. Drain A/T fluid from drain plug and refill with new A/T fluid.
Always refill same volume with drained fluid.
4. Run engine at idle speed for five minutes.
5. Check fluid level and condition. Refer to “Checking A/T Fluid”. If fluid is still dirty, repeat steps 2 through 5.

5. Set manual shaft to position P.
6. Remove park/neutral position (PNP) switch.
7. Remove oil pan and oil pan gasket.
lDo not reuse oil pan bolts.
8. Check foreign materials in oil pan to help determine causes of
malfunction. If the fluid is very dark, smells burned, or contains
foreign particles, the frictional material (clutches, band) may
need replacement. A tacky film that will not wipe clean indicates
varnish build up. Varnish can cause valves, servo, and clutches
to stick and can inhibit pump pressure.
lIf frictional material is detected, replace radiator after
repair of A/T. Refer toCO-12, "
RADIATOR".
9. Remove control valve assembly according to the following pro-
cedures.
a. Remove control valve assembly mounting boltsI,Xandl.
b. Remove snap ring from terminal body.

Removal and Installation for Dual-pressure Switch
EJS001F6
1. Remove the condenser.
2. Remove the dual-pressure switch from the condenser.
CAUTION:
lWhen working, be careful not to damage the compressor
fan.
lApply compressor oil to the O-ring of the refrigerant pres-
sure sensor when installing it.
Removal and Installation for CondenserEJS000VF
REMOVAL
1. Using the recycling and recovery equipment (for HFC134a), dis-
charge the refrigerant from A/C system.
2. Disconnect the high-pressure flexible hose and the high-pres-
sure pipe from the condenser.
CAUTION:
Cap or wrap the joint of the pipe with suitable material such
as vinyl tape to avoid the entry of air.
3. Remove the front grille and radiator mounting bracket.
4. Remove the mounting nuts from the condenser.
5. Remove the radiator from the lower mount, move it to the engine
side, then remove the condenser between the radiator and the
radiator core support.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the core surface of the condenser
and the radiator.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
lReplace the O-rings of the high-pressure pipe and the high-pressure flexible hose with new ones,
then apply compressor oil to them after installing them.
lWhen pouring refrigerant, check for leaks.Tightening torque :9.8 - 11.7 N-m (1.0 - 1.2kg-m)
