Draining and RefillingINFOID:0000000009461266
DRAINING
1. Disconnect the high and low pressure piping from power steering gear.
2. Drain power steering fluid into a suitable container.
REFILLING
1. Fill power steering reservoir while checking power steering fluid level.
2. Bleed air from power steering hydraulic system. Refer to ST-30, "Air Bleeding Hydraulic System"
.
3. Check for power steering fluid leaks.
Air Bleeding Hydraulic SystemINFOID:0000000009461267
AIR BLEEDING HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
If air bleeding is not complete, excessive noise in the power steering oil pump will be present.
1. Make sure engine is off.
2. Turn the steering wheel from the full right stop pos ition and then to full left stop position several times.
Repeat until bubbles are no longer being generated in the reservoir.
3. When the power steering fluid level lowers, refill the reservoir. CAUTION:
Do not allow the power steerin g fluid level to drop below
the hatching area.
4. Repeat steps one and two until the power steering fluid level stabilizes.
5. Start the engine and run at idle.
6. Turn the steering wheel from the full right stop pos ition and then to full left stop position several times.
Repeat until bubbles or fluid discoloration are no longer being generated in the reservoir.
7. When the power steering fluid level lowers, refill the reservoir.
8. Stop the engine.
9. Verify proper power steering fluid level. Power steering fluid level should be between the hatching area of the indicator on
the power steering reservoir tank cap.

HYDRAULIC PUMP ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM
HYDRAULIC PUMP ELECTRIC POWER ST EERING SYSTEM : System Description
INFOID:0000000009460344
• The system is composed primarily of the power steeri ng oil pump assembly (power steering control module,
power steering motor, power steering oil pump, and reservoir tank), hydraulic pipes, and steering gear
assembly.
• The power steering control module controls the speed of the power steering motor according to the vehicle
speed and steering angle speed. By changing the power st eering oil pump flow, the power steering control
module controls the steering assist force.
• According to the power steering motor control, the sy stem hydraulic pressure is transmitted from the power
steering motor to power steering oil pump. The power steering oil pump is driven by the system hydraulic
pressure.
• After engine start, the hydraulic pump electric power steering system performs control.
• When a malfunction occurs in the system, the fail-safe function stops the hydraulic pump electric power
steering system (manual steering state) or restricts it s operation (certain steering assist force). Refer to STC-
8, "HYDRAULIC PUMP ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM : Fail-safe".
• When the power steering function is used continuously in an extreme manner, the protective function
reduces the output to the power steering motor. Refer to STC-9, "HYDRAULIC PUMP ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING SYSTEM : Protection Function".

TORQUE CONVERTER (WITH LOCK-UP FUNCTION)
In the same way as a conventional A/T, the torque c onverter is a system that increases the engine torque and
transmits the torque to the transaxle. A symmetr ical 3-element, 1-stage, 2-phase type is used here.
OIL PUMP
Utilizes a vane-type oil pump that is driven by the engi ne through the oil pump drive chain in order to increase
efficiency of pump discharge volume in low-speed zone and optimize pump discharge volume in high-speed
zone. Discharged oil from oil pump is transmitted to contro l valve. It is used as the oil of primary and second-
ary pulley operation, the oil of clutch operation, and the lubricant for each part.
PLANETARY GEAR
• A planetary gear type of forward/reverse selector me chanism is installed between the torque converter and
primary pulley.
• The power from the torque converter is input via the i nput shaft, operating a wet multi-plate clutch by means
of hydraulic pressure to switch between forward and reverse driving.
Operation of Planetary gear
BELT & PULLEY
It is composed of a pair of pulleys (the groove width is changed freely in the axial direction) and the steel belt
(the steel plates are placed conti nuously and the belt is guided with the multilayer steel rings on both sides).

FLUID COOLER & FLUID WARMER SYSTEM
Part name Function
Torque converter Increases engine torque and transmits it to the transaxle.
Oil pump Utilizes a vane-type oil pump that is driven by the engine through the oil pump drive chain in order to
increase efficiency of pump discharge volume in low-speed zone and optimize pump discharge volume
in high-speed zone. Discharged oil from oil pump is tr ansmitted to control valve. It is used as the oil of
primary and secondary pulley operation, the oil of clutch operation, and the lubricant for each part.
Forward clutch The forward clutch is wet and multiple plate type clutch that consists of clutch drum, piston, drive plate,
and driven plate. It is a clutch to move the vehicle forward by activating piston hydraulically, engaging
plates, and directly connecting sun gear and input shaft.
Reverse brake The reverse brake is a wet multiple-plate type brake that consists of transaxle case, piston, drive plate,
and driven plate. It is a brake to move the vehicle in reverse by activating piston hydraulically, engaging
plates, and fixing planetary gear.
Internal gear The internal gear is directly connected to forward clutch drum. It is a gear that moves the outer edge of
pinion planet of planet carrier. It transmits power to move the vehicle in reverse when the planet carrier
is fixed.
Planet carrier Composed of a carrier, pinion planet, and pinion shaft. This gear fixes and releases the planet carrier in
order to switch between forward and reverse driving.
Sun gear Sun gear is a set part with planet carrier and internal gear. It transmits transmitted force to primary fixed
sheave. It rotates in forward or reverse direction according to activation of either forward clutch or re-
verse brake.
Input shaft The input shaft is directly connected to forward clutch drum and transmits traction force from torque con-
verter. In shaft center, there are holes for hydraulic distribution to primary pulley and hydraulic distribution
for lockup ON/OFF.
Primary pulley It is composed of a pair of pulleys (the groove width is changed freely in the axial direction) and the steel belt. The groove width changes according to wrapping radius of steel belt and pulley from low status to
overdrive status continuously with non-step. It is controlled with the oil pressures of primary pulley and
secondary pulley.
Secondary pulley
Steel belt
Manual shaft When the manual shaft is in the P position, the parking rod that is linked to the manual shaft rotates the
parking pole. When the parking pole rotates, it engages with the parking gear, fixing the parking gear. As
a result, the secondary pulley that is integrated with the parking gear is fixed.
Parking rod

Output gear
The deceleration gears are composed of 2 stages: primary deceleration (output gear, idler gear pair) and
secondary deceleration (reduction gear, final gear pair). All of these gears are helical gears.

• Primary pressure solenoid valve
• Secondary pressure solenoid valve
