8. Install the charging pipe set (KV311039S0) (A) into the overflowplug hole.
CAUTION:
Tighten the charging pipe by hand.
9. Install the ATF changer hose (B) to the charging pipe. CAUTION:
Press the ATF changer hose all the way onto the charging
pipe until it stops.
10. Fill approximately 3 liter (3-1/8 US qt, 2-5/8 lmp qt) of the CVT
fluid.
11. Remove the ATF changer hose and charging pipe, then install the overflow plug.
NOTE:
Perform this work quickly because CVT fluid leaks.
12. Lift down the vehicle.
13. Start the engine.
14. While depressing the brake pedal, shift the selector lever to the entire position from “P” to “DS”, and shift it to the “P” position.
NOTE:
Hold the lever at each position for 5 seconds.
15. Check that the CONSULT “Data Monitor” in “FLUID TEMP” is 35 °C (95 °F) to 45 °C (113 °F).
16. Stop the engine.
17. Lift up the vehicle.
18. Remove the drain plug, and then drain CVT fluid from oil pan.
19. Repeat steps 8 to 18 (one time).
20. Tighten the drain plug to the specified torque. Refer to TM-387, "Exploded View"
.
21. Remove the overflow plug.
22. Install the charging pipe set (KV311039S0) into the overflow plug hole. CAUTION:
Tighten the charging pipe by hand.
23. Install the ATF changer hose to the charging pipe. CAUTION:
Press the ATF changer hose all the way onto the charging pipe until it stops.
24. Fill approximately 3 liter (3-1/8 US qt, 2-5/8 lmp qt) of the CVT fluid.
25. Remove the ATF changer hose and charging pipe, then install the overflow plug. NOTE:
Perform this work quickly because CVT fluid leaks.
26. Lift down the vehicle.
27. Start the engine.
28. While depressing the brake pedal, shift the selector lever to the entire position from “P” to “DS”, and shift it to the “P” position.
NOTE:
Hold the lever at each position for 5 seconds.
29. Check that the CONSULT “Data Monitor” in “FLUID TEMP” is 35 °C (95 °F) to 45 °C (113 °F).
30. Lift up the vehicle.
31. Remove the overflow plug and confirm that the CV T fluid is drained from the overflow plug hole.
CAUTION:
Perform this work with the vehicle idling.
NOTE:
If the CVT fluid is not drained, refer to “Adjustment” and refill with the CVT fluid.
32. When the flow of CVT fluid slows to a drip, tighten the overflow plug to the specified torque. Refer to TM-
387, "Exploded View".
CAUTION:
Do not reuse O-ring.
33. Lift down the vehicle.

< SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS >
SQUEAK AND RATTLE TROUBLE DIAGNOSES
1. Loose harness or harness connectors.
2. Front console map/reading lamp lens loose.
3. Loose screws at console attachment points.
SEATS
When isolating seat noise it's important to note the pos ition the seat is in and the load placed on the seat when
the noise is present. These conditions should be dupl icated when verifying and isolating the cause of the
noise.
Cause of seat noise include:
1. Headrest rods and holder
2. A squeak between the seat pad cushion and frame
3. The rear seatback lock and bracket
These noises can be isolated by moving or pressing on the suspected components while duplicating the con-
ditions under which the noise occurs. Most of thes e incidents can be repaired by repositioning the component
or applying urethane tape to the contact area.
UNDERHOOD
Some interior noise may be caused by components under the hood or on the engine wall. The noise is then
transmitted into the passenger compartment.
Causes of transmitted underhood noise include:
1. Any component installed to the engine wall
2. Components that pass through the engine wall
3. Engine wall mounts and connectors
4. Loose radiator installation pins
5. Hood bumpers out of adjustment
6. Hood striker out of adjustment
These noises can be difficult to isolate since they cannot be reached from the interior of the vehicle. The best
method is to secure, move or insulate one component at a time and test drive the vehicle. Also, engine rpm or
load can be changed to isolate the noise. Repairs can usually be made by moving, adjusting, securing, or
insulating the component causing the noise.

NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION
COMPASS
COMPASS : DescriptionINFOID:0000000009461756
COMPASS
• The electronic compass is highly protected from changes in most magnetic fields. However, some large
changes in magnetic fields can affect it. Some exampl es are (but not limited to): high tension power lines,
large steel buildings, subways, steel bridges, automatic car washes, large piles of scrap metal, etc. While
this does not happen very often, it is possible.
• During normal operation, the Compass Mirror will cont inuously update the compass calibration to adjust for
gradual changes in the vehicle's magnetic "remnant" field. If the vehicle is subjected to high magnetic influ-
ences, the compass may appear to indicate false headings , become locked, or appear that it is unable to be
calibrated. If this occurs, perform the calibration procedure.
• If at any time the compass continually displays the inco rrect direction or the reading is erratic or locked, ver-
ify the correct zone variance.
Symptom Chart
Symptom Cause Solution / Reference
The compass display reads "C".
• Compass is not calibrated.
• Incorrect zone variance setting.
• Large change in magnetic field (Steel bridges, subways, concentrations of
metal, car washes, etc.)
• Compass was calibrated incorrectly or
in the presence of a strong magnetic
field. Perform Calibration. Refer to
MWI-16,
"COMPASS : Description".
Compass shows the wrong direction.
Compass does not change direction ap-
pears "Locked".
Compass does not show all the directions,
one or more is missing.
The compass was calibrated but it "loses"
calibration.
On long trips the compass shows the
wrong direction. Perform Zone Variatio
n Setting if correct
reading is desired in that location. Refer to
MWI-16, "COMPASS : Description"

IGNITION RELAY MALFUNCTION DETECTION FUNCTION
• IPDM E/R monitors the voltage at the contact circuit and excitation coil circuit of the ignition relay inside it.
• IPDM E/R judges the ignition relay error if the voltage differs between the contact circuit and the excitation
coil circuit.
• If the ignition relay cannot turn OFF due to contact seiz ure, it activates the tail lamp relay for 10 minutes to
alert the user to the ignition relay malfunction when the ignition switch is turned OFF.
NOTE:
The tail lamp turns OFF when the ignition switch is turned ON.
FRONT WIPER CONTROL
IPDM E/R detects front wiper stop posit ion by a front wiper auto stop signal.
When a front wiper auto stop signal is in the conditions listed below, IPDM E/R stops power supply to wiper
after repeating a front wiper 10 second activation and 20 second stop five times.
NOTE:
This operation status can be confirmed on the IPDM E/ R “Data Monitor” that displays “BLOCK” for the item
“WIP PROT” while the wiper is stopped.
STARTER MOTOR PROTECTION FUNCTION
IPDM E/R turns OFF the starter control relay to protect the starter motor when the starter control relay remains
active for 90 seconds.
