< UNIT REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION >[TRANSFER: ATX90A]
TRANSFER ASSEMBLY
 When installing the transfer to the
transmission, install the mount-
ing bolts following the standard below, tighten bolts to the specified
torque.
 When installing transfer breather hose, make sure t here are no pinched or restricted areas on the transfer
breather hose caused by bending or winding.
- Install the transfer breather hose (1) of transmission side with the
paint mark (A) facing upward and the mark (B) (: ) facing right
side.
- Install the transfer breather hose (1) of transfer side with the paint mark (A) facing upward, and insert breather hose to breather tube
(2) until dimension (B) shown as follows.
- Be sure to fix breather hose in (A) and (B) positions. Fix with the
paint mark facing upward in the (A) position.
 Check oil level and check for oil leakage after installation. Refer to DLN-106, "
Inspection".
 If replacing transfer assembly, perform writing unit parameter,
learning of fluid viscosity and initial calibration. Refer to DLN-42,
"Work Procedure".

< PRECAUTION >[VK56VD]
PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION:
Comply with the following cautions to
prevent any error and malfunction.
 Install the xenon bulb securely. (Ins ufficient bulb socket installation may melt the bulb, the connec-
tor, the housing, etc. by high-v oltage leakage or corona discharge.)
 Never perform HID circuit in spection with a tester.
 Never touch the xenon bulb glass with ha nds. Never put oil and grease on it.
 Dispose of the used xenon bulb after packing it in thick vinyl without breaking it.
 Never wipe out dirt and cont amination with organic solven t (thinner, gasoline, etc.).
On Board Diagnostic (OBD) System of Engine and A/TINFOID:0000000006217652
The ECM has an on board diagnostic system. It will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) to warn the
driver of a malfunction causing emission deterioration.
CAUTION:
 Always turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the negative battery cable before any repair or
inspection work. The open/short circuit of related sw itches, sensors, solenoid valves, etc. will cause
the MIL to illuminate.
 Always connect and lock the conn ectors securely after work. A loose (unlocked) connector will
cause the MIL to illuminate due to the open circuit. (Be sure the connector is free from water, grease,
dirt, bent terminals, etc.)
 Certain systems and components, especially those related to OBD, may use a new style slide-lock-
ing type harness connector. For descripti on and how to disconnect, refer to EC-51, "
Diagnosis
Description".
 Always route and secure the harnesses properly afte r work. The interference of the harness with a
bracket, etc. may cause the MIL to illu minate due to the short circuit.
 Always connect rubber tubes properly after work. A misconnected or disconnected rubber tube may
cause the MIL to illuminate due to the malfunction of the EVAP system or fuel injection system, etc.
 Always erase the unnecessary malfunction information (repairs completed) from the ECM and TCM
(Transmission control module) before re turning the vehicle to the customer.
General PrecautionsINFOID:0000000006217653
Always use a 12 volt battery as power source.
 Never attempt to disconnect battery cables while engine is
running.
 Before connecting or disconnecting the ECM harness con-
nector, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect negative bat-
tery cable. Failure to do so may damage the ECM because
battery voltage is applied to ECM even if ignition switch is
turned OFF.
 Before removing parts, turn ig nition switch OFF and then dis-
connect battery ground cable.
 Never disassemble ECM.
 If a battery cable is disconnected, the memory will return to
the ECM value.
The ECM will now start to self-control at its initial value. Thus,
engine operation can vary slight ly in this case. However, this
is not an indication of a ma lfunction. Never replace parts
because of a slight variation.
 If the battery is disconnected, the following emission-related
diagnostic information will be lost within 24 hours.
- Diagnostic trouble codes
- 1st trip diagnostic trouble codes
- Freeze frame data
- 1st trip freeze frame data
- System readiness test (SRT) codes
- Test values
