INSPECTION
Installation and Inspection of Torque Converter
After inserting a torque converter to a A/T, be sure to check dis-
tance “A” to ensure it is within the reference value limit.
INSTALLATION
Install the removed parts in the reverse order of the removal, while paying attention to the following work.
When installing A/T assembly to the engine assembly, attach the
fixing bolts in accordance with the following standard.
Align the positions of tightening bolts for drive plate with those of
the torque converter, and temporarily tighten the bolts. Then,
tighten the bolts with the specified torque. Refer to AT- 2 7 5 ,
"COMPONENTS" .
CAUTION:
When turning crankshaft, turn it clockwise as viewed from
the front of the engine.
When tightening the tightening bolts for the torque con-
verter after fixing the crankshaft pulley bolts, be sure to
confirm the tightening torque of the crankshaft pulley
mounting bolts. Refer to EM-72, "
INSTALLATION" .
After converter is installed to drive plate, rotate crankshaft
several turns and check to be sure that A/T rotates freely without binding.
Install crankshaft position sensor (POS). Refer to EM-36, "Removal and Installation (AWD Models)" .
After completing installation, check A/T fluid leakage, A/T fluid level and A/T position. Refer to AT- 1 3 ,
"Checking A/T Fluid" , AT-228, "Checking of A/T Position" . Distance “A”: 25.0 mm (0.98 in) or more

COMBINATION METERS
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
SPEEDOMETER
The speedometer indicates the vehicle speed.
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) converses a pulse signal from wheel sensor to vehicle speed
signal, and transmit vehicle speed signal to unified meter and A/C amp. with CAN communication.
Unified meter and A/C amp. transmits vehicle speed signal to combination meter with communication line.
Combination meter converses vehicle speed signal to the angle signal, and commands to speedometer.
TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm).
ECM converses a signal from crankshaft position sensor to engine speed signal, and transmits to unified
meter and A/C amp. with CAN communication.
Unified meter and A/C amp. transmits engine speed signal to combination meter with communication line.
Combination meter converses engine speed signal to the angle signal, and commands to tachometer.
WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The water temperature gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature.
ECM converses a signal from engine coolant temperature sensor to engine coolant temperature signal,
and transmits to unified meter and A/C amp. with CAN communication.
Unified meter and A/C amp. transmits engine coolant temperature signal to combination meter with com-
munication line.
Combination meter converses engine coolant temperature signal to the angle signal, and commands to
water temperature gauge.
