REMOVAL
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high pressure
coolant escaping from the radiator. Wrap a thick cl oth around the cap. Slowly turn a quarter turn to
allow built-up pressure to escape. Carefully remove the cap by turning it all the way.
CAUTION:
• Perform when the engine is cold.
• When replacing the TCM and transaxle assembly as a set, replace the transaxle assembly first and
then replace the TCM. Refer to TM-80, "Description"
.
NOTE:
When removing components such as hoses, tubes/lines, etc. , cap or plug openings to prevent fluid from spill-
ing.
1. Remove engine and transaxle assembly. Refer to EM-84, "Removal and Installation"
.

tighten them temporarily. then tighten the nuts to the
specified torque.
Inspection and AdjustmentINFOID:0000000009464162
INSPECTION BEFORE INSTALLATION
After inserting a torque converter to the CVT, check dimension (A)
with in the reference value limit.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Check the following items:
• CVT fluid leakage, refer to TM-178, "Inspection"
.
• For CVT position, refer to TM-180, "Inspection"
.
• Start the engine and check for coolant leakage from the parts which are removed and reinstalled.
ADJUSTMENT AFTER INSTALLATION
• Adjust the CVT fluid level. Refer to TM-84, "Adjustment".
• Perform "ADDITIONAL SERVICE WHEN REPLACE TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY". Refer to TM-81, "Descrip-
tion".

STRUCTURE AND OPERATION
FLUID COOLER & FLUID WARMER SYSTEM : System Description
INFOID:0000000009464202
CVT FLUID COOLER SCHEMATIC
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
CVT Oil Warmer
• The CVT oil warmer (1) is installed on the front part of transaxle
assembly.
• When engine is started while engine and CVT are cold, engine coolant temperature rises more quickly than CVT fluid tempera-
ture. CVT oil warmer is provided with two circuits for CVT and
engine coolant respectively so that warmed engine coolant warms
CVT quickly. This helps shorten CVT warming up time, improving
fuel economy.
• A cooling effect is obtained when CVT fluid temperature is high.
Heater Thermostat
• The heater thermostat (1) is insta lled on the front part of transaxle
assembly.
• The heater thermostat open and close with set temperature.
SHIFT LOCK SYSTEM
SHIFT LOCK SYSTEM : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000009464203
The shift lever cannot be shifted from the “P” positi on unless the brake pedal is depressed while the ignition
switch is set to ON. The shift lock is unlocked by turn ing the shift lock solenoid ON when the ignition switch is
set to ON, the park position switch is turned ON (selec tor lever is in “P” position), and the stop lamp switch is
turned ON (brake pedal is depressed) as shown in the oper ation chart in the figure. Therefore, the shift lock
solenoid receives no ON signal and the shift lock remains locked if all of the above conditions are not fulfilled.
However, selector operation is allowed if the shift lock release button is pressed.
