5. The method of operating the selector lever to individual posi-
tions correctly should be as shown.
• (A): Press selector button to operate selector lever, while
depressing the brake pedal.
• (B): Press selector button to operate selector lever.
• (C): Selector lever can be operated without pressing selector
button.
6. Confirm the back-up lamps illuminate only when selector lever is
placed in the “R” position. Confirm the back-up lamps do not illu-
minate when the selector lever is pushed toward the “R” position
side with the gear position remained in the “P” or “N” position.
7. Confirm the engine can only be started with the selector lever in
the “P” and “N” positions.
8. Make sure transaxle is locked completely in “P” position.

4. Remove the four drive plate to torque converter nuts.
NOTE:
Rotate the crankshaft clockwise as viewed from front of engine
for access to drive plate to torque converter nuts.
5. Put matching marks on the drive plate and torque converter alignment stud.
CAUTION:
For matching marks, use paint. Never damage the drive plate or torque converter.
6. Remove the transaxle to engine and engine to transaxle bolts.
7. Separate the transaxle from the engine.
8. If necessary, remove the following from the transaxle:
• CVT fluid charging pipe
• Engine mounting bracket (LH)
• Fluid cooler tubes
• Air breather hose
• Any necessary brackets
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
• When replacing an engine or transmission you must make sure any dowels are installed correctly
during re-assembly.
• Improper alignment caused by missing dowels may cause vibration, oil leaks or breakage of drive
train components.
• Do not reuse O-rings and copper washers.
• When turning crankshaft, turn it clockwise as viewed from the front of the engine.
• When tightening the nuts for the torque converter while securing the crankshaft pulley bolt, be sure
to confirm the tightening torque of the crankshaft pulley bolt. Refer to EM-37
.
• After converter is installed to drive plate, rotate crankshaft several turns to check that transaxle
rotates freely without binding.
• When installing the torque converter to the transaxle measure dis-
tance A.

TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY
• When installing the cooler outlet tube (1) to the transaxle assembly
(2), align the cooler tube bracket (A) against the transaxle as
shown.
• When installing the transaxle to the engine, align the matching mark on the drive plate with the matching
mark on the torque converter alignment stud.
• When securing the transaxle to the engine, attach the bolts in
accordance with the following standard.
• When installing the drive plate to torque converter nuts, tighten
them temporarily. Then tighten the nuts to the specified torque.
• After completing installation check for fluid level, fluid leakage, and the positions of CVT. Refer to MA-19,
"Checking CVT Fluid", CVT-171, "Adjustment of CVT Position" and CVT-171, "Checking of CVT Position".
• When replacing the CVT assembly, erase EEP ROM in TCM. Refer to CVT-8, "
Service After Replacing TCM
and Transaxle Assembly".

SPEEDOMETER
With ABS
The ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) provides a vehicle speed signal to the combination meter via
CAN communication lines.
Without ABS or CVT
The vehicle speed sensor provides a vehicle speed signal to the combination meter for speedometer indica-
tion.
With CVT, Without ABS
The TCM provides a vehicle speed signal to the combination meter via CAN communication lines.
TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm). The ECM provides an engine speed
signal to combination meter via CAN communication lines.
FUEL GAUGE
The fuel gauge indicates the approximate fuel level in the fuel tank.
The fuel gauge is regulated by the unified meter control unit and a variable resistor signal supplied
• to combination meter terminal 24
• through fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump terminal 5
• through fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump terminal 2
• from combination meter terminal 6.
ODO/TRIP METER
The vehicle speed signal and the memory signals from the meter memory circuit are processed by the combi-
nation meter and the mileage is displayed.
How to Change the Display
Refer to Owner's Manual for odo/trip meter operating instructions.
CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Refer to LAN-6 .

Self-Diagnosis Mode of Combination MeterINFOID:0000000001704497
SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODE FUNCTION
• Self-diagnosis can check for continuity between meter control circuit and each meter (speedometer, tachom-
eter and fuel gauge).
• Self-diagnosis can check for odo/trip meter and A/T indicator (with A/T) or CVT indicator (with CVT) seg-
ment, low-fuel level warning lamp, low water temperature indicator lamp, and high water temperature warn-
ing lamp.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Turn the ignition switch ON, and switch the odo/trip meter to “trip A” or “trip B”.
