REPLACEMENT
If you have a fluid changer, use this changer to replace the fluid. If you do not, replace it using the following
procedure.1. Disconnect the hose which connects the transmission and the oil cooler which is within the radiator only in 2.4L
engine(3.3L- the oil cooler is separated).
2. Start the engine and let the fluid drain out.
Running conditions : "N" range with engine idling.
The engine should be stopped within one minute after it is started. If the fluid has all drained out before then,
the engine should be stopped at that point.
3. Romove the drain plug(A) from the bottom of the transmission case to drain the fluid.
4.Install the drain plug via the gasket, and tighten it to the specified torque.
TORQUE :
40~50Nm (4.0~5.0 kgf.m, 29~36 lb - ft)
5. Pour the new fluid in through the oil filler tube.
Stop pouring if the full volume of fluid cannot be poured in.
6. Repeat the procedure in step (2).
Check the old fluid for contamination. If it has been contaminated, repeat the steps (5) and (6).
7. Pour the new fluid in through the oil filler tube.
8. Reconnect the hose which was disconnected in step (1) above and firmly replace the oil level gauge.(In case of
this "replace", this means after wiping off any dirt around the oil level gauge, insert it into the filler tube.)
9. Start the engine and run it at idle for 1~2 minutes.
10. Move the select lever through all positions, and then move it to the "N" position.
11. Drive the vehicle until the fluid temperature rises to the normal temperature (70~80°C), and then check the fluid
level again. The fluid level must be at the HOT mark.
12. Firmly insert the oil level gauge(A) into the oil filler tube.

13.Remove the starter motor by disconnecting the connector. (see EE group)
14. Using the SST(09200- 38001), hold the engine and transaxle assembly safely.
15.Remove the transaxle insulator mounting (B) bolts (A).
16.Remove the front wheels. (see SS group)
17. Lift up the vehicle.
18. Remove the power steering column joint bolt and the VRS connector (A). (see ST group)

16. Connect the power steering pressure tube (A) to the power steering oil pump.
Page 391 of 1575
30.Install the engine cover. (see 'EM' group)
When replacing the automatic transaxle, reset the automatic transaxle's values by using the High- Scan Pro.
a. Connect the Hi - Scan Pro connector to the data link connector under the crash pad and power cable to the cigar
jack under the center facia.
b. Turn the ignition switch on and power on the Hi - Scan Pro.
c. Select the vehicle's name.
d. Select 'AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE'.
e.Select 'RESETTING AUTO T/A VALUES' and perform the procedure.
f.Perform the procedure by pressing F1 (REST).
