2. Stop engine. Remove drain plug (1) and gasket, using a suitable

tool and then drain gear oil.

3. Set a gasket on drain plug and install it to clutch housing, using

a suitable tool.

CAUTION:

3. After refilling gear oil, check the oil level. Refer to

MA-22, "M/T

OIL : Inspection"

4. Set a gasket on filler plug and then install it to transaxle case.

CAUTION:

Do not reuse gasket.

FLUID LEAKAGE

• Check transaxle surrounding area (oil seal and plug etc.) for fluid

leakage.

• If anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts and adjust

CVT fluid level. Refer to

MA-25, "CVT FLUID : Adjustment"

CVT FLUID : Replacement

INFOID:0000000009756200

CAUTION:

• Use only recommended CVT fluid. Using transmission fluid other than recommended CVT fluid will

damage the CVT, which is not covered by the warranty.

• Always use shop paper. Do not use shop cloth.

• Replace a drain plug gasket with new ones at the final stage of the operation when installing.

• Use caution when looking into the drain hole as there is a risk of dripping fluid entering the eye.

• After replacement, always perform CVT fluid leakage check.

CHASSIS AND BODY MAINTENANCE

1. Select “Data Monitor” in “TRANSMISSION” using CONSULT.
2. Select “FLUID TEMP” and confirm that the CVT fluid temperature is 40

°C (104°F) or less.

3. Check that the selector lever is in the “P” position, then completely engage the parking brake.
4. Lift up the vehicle.
5. Remove the drain plug and overflow tube and drain the CVT fluid from the oil pan. Refer to

TM-266,

"Exploded View"

6. Install the charging pipe set (KV311039S0) (A) into the drain

hole.

CAUTION:

Tighten the charging pipe by hand.

7. Install the ATF changer hose (B) to the charging pipe.

CAUTION:

Press the ATF changer hose all the way onto the charging

pipe until it stops.

8. Fill approximately 3 liter (2-5/8 lmp qt) of the CVT fluid.
9. Remove the ATF changer hose and charging pipe, then install

the drain plug.

NOTE:

Perform this work quickly because CVT fluid leaks.

10. Lift down the vehicle.
11. Start the engine.
12. While depressing the brake pedal, shift the selector lever to the entire position from “P” to “L”, and shift it

to the “P” position.

NOTE:

Hold the lever at each position for 5 seconds.

13. Check that the CONSULT “Data monitor” in “FLUID TEMP” is 35

°C (95°F) to 45°C (113°F).

14. Stop the engine.
15. Lift up the vehicle.
16. Remove the drain plug, and then drain CVT fluid from oil pan.
17. Repeat steps 6 to 16 (one time).
18. Install the overflow tube. Refer to

TM-266, "Exploded View"

CAUTION:

Be sure to tighten to the specified torque. If it is not tightened to the specified torque, the tube may

be damaged.

19. Install the charging pipe set (KV311039S0) (A) into the drain

hole.

CAUTION:

Tighten the charging pipe by hand.

20. Install the ATF changer hose (B) to the charging pipe.

CAUTION:

Press the ATF changer hose all the way onto the charging

pipe until it stops.

21. Fill approximately 3 liter (2-5/8 lmp qt) of the CVT fluid.
22. Remove the ATF changer hose and charging pipe, then install

the drain plug.

NOTE:

Perform this work quickly because CVT fluid leaks.

23. Lift down the vehicle.
24. Start the engine.
25. While depressing the brake pedal, shift the selector lever to the entire position from “P” to “L”, and shift it

to the “P” position.

NOTE:

Hold the lever at each position for 5 seconds.

26. Check that the CONSULT “Data monitor” in “FLUID TEMP” is 35

°C (95°F) to 45°C (113°F).

27. Lift up the vehicle.
28. Remove the drain plug and confirm that the CVT fluid is drained from the overflow tube.

CAUTION:

Perform this work with the vehicle idling.

NOTE:

If the CVT fluid is not drained, refer to “Adjustment” and refill with the CVT fluid.

29. When the flow of CVT fluid slows to a drip, tighten the drain plug to the specified torque. Refer to

TM-266,

"Exploded View"

CAUTION:

Do not reuse drain plug gasket.

30. Lift down the vehicle.
31. Select “Work Support” in “TRANSMISSION” using CONSULT.
32. Select “CONFORM CVTF DETERIORTN”.
33. Touch “Erase”.
34. Stop the engine.

CVT FLUID : Adjustment

INFOID:0000000009756201

CAUTION:

• Use only recommended CVT fluid. Using transmission fluid other than recommended CVT fluid will

damage the CVT, which is not covered by the warranty.

• During adjustment of the CVT fluid level, check CONSULT so that the oil temperature may be main-

tained from 35 to 45

°C (95 to 113°F).

• Use caution when looking into the drain hole as there is a risk of dripping fluid entering the eye.
1. Check that the selector lever is in the “P” position, then completely engage the parking brake.
2. Start the engine.
3. Adjust the CVT fluid temperature to be approximately 40

°C (104°F).

NOTE:

The CVT fluid is largely affected by temperature. Therefore be sure to use CONSULT and check the

“FLUID TEMP” under “TRANSMISSION” in “Data Monitor” while adjusting.

4. While depressing the brake pedal, shift the selector lever to the entire position from “P” to “L”, and shift it

to the “P” position.

NOTE:

Hold the lever at each position for 5 seconds.

5. Lift up the vehicle.
6. Check that there is no CVT fluid leakage.
7. Remove the drain plug. Refer to

TM-266, "Exploded View"

8. Install the charging pipe set (KV311039S0) (A) into the drain

plug hole.

CAUTION:

Tighten the charging pipe by hand.

9. Install the ATF changer hose (B) to the charging pipe.

CAUTION:

Press the ATF changer hose all the way onto the charging

pipe until it stops.

10. Fill approximately 0.5 liter (1/2 lmp qt) of the CVT fluid.
11. Remove the ATF changer hose from the charging pipe, and

check that the CVT fluid drains out from the charging pipe. If it

does not drain out, perform charging again.

CAUTION:

Perform this work with the vehicle idling.

12. When the flow of CVT fluid slows to a drip, remove the charging pipe from the oil pan.
13. Tighten the drain plug to the specified torque. Refer to

TM-266, "Exploded View"
