A: REMOVAL
1) Remove the front bumper. MOVAL, Front Bumper.>
2) Using the ST, remove the ATF filter.
ST 498545400 OIL FILTER WRENCH
B: INSTALLATION
1) Apply a thin coat of ATF to the oil seal part of
new ATF filter.
2) Install the ATF filter. Turn it by hand, being care-
ful not to damage oil seal.
3) Tighten the ATF filter using ST.
Calculate the ATF filter tightening torque using fol-
lowing formula.
T2 = L2/(L1 + L2) × T1
T1: 14 N·m (1.4 kgf-m, 10.1 ft-lb)
[Required torque setting]
T2: Tightening torque
L1: ST length 78 mm (3.07 in)
L2: Torque wrench length
Example:
NOTE:
Align the ST with the torque wrench while tighten-
ing the ATF filter.

5) Inspect the level of ATF. matic Transmission Fluid.>
6) Install the front bumper. LATION, Front Bumper.>
C: INSPECTION
Check for rust, hole, ATF leaks or other damage.
Replace the part if any damage is found in the in-
spection.

6) Connect the ATF cooler hose to the pipe on the
transmission side.
NOTE:
•Install so that the hose is not folded over, exces-
sively bent or twisted.
•Insert the hose to the specified position.
7) Connect the ATF cooler hose to the pipe on the
radiator side.
NOTE:
•Install so that the hose is not folded over, exces-
sively bent or twisted.
•Insert the hose to the specified position.
8) Install the under cover.
9) Fill ATF. sion Fluid.>
NOTE:
Make sure there are no ATF leaks in joints between
the transmission, radiator, pipes, and hoses.
C: INSPECTION
Repair or replace any faulty hoses, pipes, clips,
and washers found in the inspection below.
1) Check for ATF leaks in joints between the trans-
mission, radiator, pipes, and hoses.
2) Check clips for deformation.
3) Lightly bend the hose and check for cracks in the
surface or other damages.
4) Pinch the hose with your fingers and check for
poor elasticity. Also check for poor elasticity in the
parts where the clip was installed by pressing with
your fingernail.
5) Check for peeling, cracks, and deformation at
the tip of the hose.

3. General Description
A: CAUTION
•SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM
The airbag system wiring harness is routed near
the TCM.
CAUTION:
•All air bag system wiring harnesses and con-
nectors are colored yellow. Do not use an elec-
tric test equipment to check these circuits.
•Be careful not to damage the airbag system
wiring harness when performing diagnostics or
servicing the TCM.
•MEASUREMENT
When measuring the voltage and resistance of the
ECM, TCM or each sensor, use a tapered pin with
a diameter of less than 0.64 mm (0.025 in) in order
to avoid poor contact. Do not insert a pin of more
than 0.65 mm (0.026 in) diameter.
B: INSPECTION
1. BATTERY
Measure the battery voltage and specific gravity of
electrolyte.
Standard voltage: 12 V or more
Specific gravity: 1.260 or more
2. TRANSMISSION GROUND
Make sure that the ground terminal bolt is tightened
securely.
Tightening torque:
13 N·m (1.3 kgf-m, 9.4 ft-lb)
3. ATF LEVEL
Make sure that ATF level is the specified amount.
