Control Valve Body: Removal

CAUTION:
  • Directly after the vehicle has been running or the engine has been idling for a long time, the CVTF is hot. Be careful not to burn yourself.
  • Be careful not to spill CVTF on the exhaust pipe to prevent it from emitting smoke or causing a fire. If the CVTF adheres, wipe it off completely.
  • Always clean the engine compartment before removal.
NOTE: The control valve body is replaced as an assembly only, because it is a non-disassembly part.
