WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN THE
ENGINE IS OPERATING. DO NOT STAND IN DIRECT
LINE WITH FAN. DO NOT PUT YOUR HANDS NEAR
THE PULLEYS, BELT OR FAN. DO NOT WEAR
LOOSE CLOTHES.
(25) Start engine and inspect for leaks.
OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
Oil level, oil temperature and oil quality are
detected by means of an oil sensor located in the oil
pan. The sensor which operates on the capacitance
principle features an integrated electronic circuit
which analyzes the three signals. the signals are con-
stantly relayed to the ECM and over the CAN bus to
the instrument cluster by means of PWM signal.
OPERATION
Oil quality is detected for indicating the need-
based oil change interval. The oil quality is detected
on the basis of the capacitance of the engine oil
(dielectrics, does not conduct electricity), this being
as much as six times greater in case of poor quality.

(6) Remove the oil filter to allow the oil to flow off
into the oil pan.
(7) Remove the radiator assembly (Refer to 7 -
COOLING/ENGINE/RADIATOR - REMOVAL).
(8) Remove engine cover (Refer to 9 - ENGINE -
REMOVAL).
(9) Remove front cover at cylinder head (Refer to 9
- ENGINE/CYLINDER HEAD - REMOVAL).
(10) Remove accessory drive belt.
(11) Remove the high pressure fuel pump (Refer to
14 - FUEL SYSTEM/FUEL DELIVERY/FUEL PUMP

(12) Remove water pump (Refer to 7 - COOLING/
ENGINE/WATER PUMP - REMOVAL).
(13) Remove accessory drive belt pulley and vibra-
tion damper (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/ENGINE BLOCK/
VIBRATION DAMPER - REMOVAL).
(14) Remove the power steering pump.
NOTE: NO NOT open the air conditioning system.
(15) Unplug AC compressor electrical connector
and unbolt AC compressor. Relocate in lower engine
compartmentwith outopening the system.
(16) Remove the generator with wiring attached
and relocate somewhere in the engine compartment.
(17) Install engine support fixture.
(18) Remove the oil pan.
(19) Detach the coolant hose to oil-water heat
exchanger at crankcase (Fig. 65).
(20) Remove the cylinder head to timing cover
bolts (Fig. 65).
(21) Remove the timing cover bolts and cover (Fig.
65).
(22) Remove remaining ancillary components
attached to the timing case cover (Fig. 65).
NOTE: Inspect condition of hoses and clamps,
replace as necessary.
(23) Remove timing chain tensioner (Refer to 9 -
ENGINE/VALVE TIMING/TIMING BELT/CHAIN
AND SPROCKETS - REMOVAL)
(24) Remove timing case cover (Fig. 65).
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Care must be taken to closley inspect
the gasket area around the time case cover to cyl-
inder head gasket coolant port. If damage is found,
replace the cylinder head gasket. Failure to do so
may result in engine damage.
NOTE: Thoroughly clean all mating surfaces with
the appropriate solvents to assure that no grease or
oil is present during assembly.(1) Inspect cylinder head gasket and oil pan gas-
ket. If damaged, replace.
(2) Replace the front crankshaft seal (Refer to 9 -
ENGINE/ENGINE BLOCK/CRANKSHAFT OIL
SEAL - FRONT - INSTALLATION).
(3) Install ancillary components to timing case
cover.
(4) Apply sealant to the marked surfaces with a
bead thickness of 1.5   0.5 mm (Fig. 66).
NOTE: Install timing cover within 10 minutes after
applying sealant. Do not spread sealant bead.
NOTE: Do not seal pressurized oil galleries to the
crankcase. Sealant applied at these points is
entrained by the oil flow and blocks the oil supply
passages.
(5) Position and install timing case cover. Tighten
bolts to 20 N´m (177 lbs in) (Fig. 65).
(6) Install the M8 bolts of cylinder head on timing
case cover. Tighten bolts to 20 N´m (177 lbs in) (Fig.
65).
(7) Install timing chain tensioner with new seal-
(Refer to 9 - ENGINE/VALVE TIMING/TMNG BELT/
CHAIN TENSIONER&PULLEY - INSTALLATION).

(4) Actuate the service brake. Start engine and let
it run at idle speed in selector lever position9P9.
(5) Shift through the transmission modes several
times with the vehicle stationary and the engine
idling
(6) Warm up the transmission, wait at least 2 min-
utes and check the oil level with the engine running.
Push the Oil Dipstick 8863A in up to the stop on the
electrohydraulic unit and pull out again, read off oil
level, repeat if necessary.
NOTE: The dipstick will protrude from the fill tube
approximately 75mm (3 inches) when installed.
(7) Check transmission oil temperature.
NOTE: The true transmission oil temperature can
only be read by a scan tool in REVERSE or any for-
ward gear position. (Refer to 21 - AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION- NAG1/TRANSMISSION TEMPERA-
TURE SENSOR/PARK-NEUTRAL SWITCH - OPERA-
TION)(8) The transmission Oil Dipstick 8863A has indi-
cator marks every 10mm. Determine the height of
the oil level on the dipstick and using the height, the
transmission temperature, and the Transmission
Fluid Graph (Fig. 137), determine if the transmission
oil level is correct.
(9) Add or remove oil as necessary and recheck the
oil level.
(10) Once the oil level is correct, install a new dip-
stick tube cap (2) (Fig. 138) and lock pin (1).
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TRANSMISSION
FILL
To avoid overfilling transmission after a fluid
change or overhaul, perform the following procedure:
(1) Verify that the vehicle is parked on a level sur-
face.
(2) Remove locking pin (1) (Fig. 139). Remove the
plate of the locking pin with a suitable tool and press
out the pin remaining in the cap downwards.
(3) Remove cap (2).
(4) Add following initial quantity of Shellt3403 to
transmission:

descending sequence by one gear each time, i.e., from
D-4-3-2-1.Iftheselected limitation of the shift
range would result in a downshift causing excessive
engine speed, the shifting is not executed and the
engaged gear as well as the shift range remain
unchanged. This is to prevent the engine from over-
speeding. Engine retardation is low with the selector
lever in position9D9. To make use of the full braking
power of the engine,9manual9downshifting by tip-
ping the lever towards the left-hand side is recom-
mended. If this has been done, subsequent upshifting
must be carried out manually as well.
²Tipping the selector lever toward(-(and
holding it in this position:The currently engaged
gear in range9D9is indicated in the instrument clus-
ter display and the shift range is limited to this gear.
²Tipping the selector lever toward(+(one
time after another:The shift range is increased by
one gear each time and the increased shift range is
displayed in the instrument cluster; possibly, the
transmission upshifts to a faster gear.
²Tipping the selector lever toward(+(sev-
eral times:The shift range is increased by one gear
each time the lever is tipped until the shift range
ends up in9D9.
²Tipping the selector lever toward(+(and
holding it in this position:The shift range is
extended immediately to9D9, shift ranges are indi-
cated in ascending sequence; possibly, the transmis-
sion upshifts to a faster gear due to the extension of
the shift range.
REMOVAL
(1) Move selector lever to position9D9.
(2) Remove top section (3) (Fig. 204) of the center
section of instrument panel.
(3) Remove bottom section (2) (Fig. 205) of the cen-
ter section of instrument panel.
(4) Disconnect the park lock cable coupling (1)
(Fig. 206) from the shift lever assembly (SLA). Press
locking tab (2) together and push coupling (1) against
the spring force into the SLA, twist through 90É
(right or left) and pull off.
(5) Disconnect connector plug (5) from SLA. When
disconnecting plug, press together at points shown
(arrows).
(6) Pry ball socket (4) of transmission shift cable
off ball knob at the SLA. Use a suitable slotted
screwdriver.
