Home  id0517o3112600

Replacement Part

Oil and Chemical Type

Warning

•  A hot transaxle and ATF can cause severe burns. Turn off the engine and wait until they are cool.

•  Always wear protective eye wear when using the air compressor. If the air compressor is used, any particles of dirt or sludge could spatter and get into the eyes.

Caution

•  If the oil pressure switch has been replaced, perform initial learning. (See INITIAL LEARNING [EV6A-EL, EV6AX-EL].)

Oil Pressure Switch A

1.  Select the selector lever to P position.

2.  Disconnect the negative battery terminal.(See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [(E)].)

3.  Remove the front under cover No.2. (See FRONT UNDER COVER No.2 REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

4.  Remove the front under cover No.1. (See FRONT UNDER COVER No.1 REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

5.  Clean the transaxle exterior throughout with a steam cleaner or cleaning solvents.

6.  Drain the ATF.(See AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID (ATF) REPLACEMENT [EV6A-EL, EV6AX-EL (E)].)

7.  Remove the oil pan.

8.  Insert a precision flathead screwdriver and move it in the direction of the arrow to disconnect the oil pressure switch A connector as shown in the figure.

Caution

•  Do not scratch the oil pressure switch A and oil pressure switch connector A with the precision flathead screwdriver.

•  When disconnecting connectors, grasp the connectors, not the wiring harnesses. Otherwise, the wiring harnesses may be pulled out of the connector causing poor contact.

9.  Remove the oil pressure switch A fitting bolts.
