Repair Procedures: Installation

    NOTE:

      1. Check that there is no gap between the torque converter housing (A) and the engine block (B).

      2. This gap means the torque converter is not assembled correctly and it can cause damage on the key (A) of oil pump gear. In this case, reinstall the torque converter correctly after removing the transmission assembly.

      3. If the bolt is tightened while there is a gap, it can cause damage on the key of oil pump gear. In this case, replace the transmission assembly after loosening the mounting bolts.
    • When reinstalling the automatic transmission assembly, perform the procedures below. 
      1. Check the ATF level after refilling the automatic transmission with fluid.

        (Refer to " FLUID  ") 

      2. Clear the diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) using the KDS. Disconnecting the battery negative terminal will not clear the DTCs. Clear DTCs using the KDS at all times.
    • When replacing with a new automatic transmission assembly, perform the procedures below. 
      1. Automatic transmission is already filled with the specified amount of ATF.

        For this reason, it is not necessary to refill and check the ATF. However, the remaining ATF in the ATF cooler has to be drained.

      2. Install the transmission after removing the remaining ATF by blowing air into ATF cooler hose.
      3. Clear the diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) using the KDS. Disconnecting the battery negative terminal will not clear the DTCs. Clear DTCs using the KDS at all times.
      4. Reset the automatic transmission adaptive values using the KDS.

        (Refer to " REPAIR PROCEDURES  ") 

    • When replacing with a remanufactured automatic transmission assembly, perform the procedures below. 
      1. Remanufactured automatic transmission is not filled with specified quantity of ATF.

        For that reason, it is necessary to refill and check the ATF.

      2. Check the ATF level after refilling the automatic transmission with fluid.

        (Refer to " FLUID  ") 

      3. Clear the diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) using the KDS.

        (The DTCs will not be cleared even after the battery negative terminal has been disconnected. So, be sure to clear the DTCs using the KDS.)

      4. Reset the automatic transmission adaptive values using the KDS.
