Installation

Install in the reverse order of removal.

•	In case of the reinstallation

Replace the oil seal with a new one by using special tool when ATF leak occurred because of differential oil seal damage.

Tool Name	Number	Description
Oil seal installer	09453-3L240	2WD: Both side, 4WD: Transaxle case side
Oil seal installer	09453-2W100	4WD: Torque converter housing side
Handle	09231-H1100	Used with the oil seal installer

2)	Check the ATF level after refilling the automatic transaxle with fluid. (Refer to "Fluid" in Hydraulic System of this group)

3)	Clear the diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) using the GDS. (The DTCs will not be cleared even after the battery negative terminal has been disconnected. So, be sure to clear the DTCs using the GDS.)

•	In case of replacing with a new automatic transaxle

1)	New automatic transaxle is already filled with specified quantity of ATF. For that reason, it is not necessary to refill and check the ATF, however, the remaining ATF in the ATF cooler has to be removed.

2)	Install the transaxle after removing the remaining ATF by blowing air into ATF cooler hose.

3)	Clear the diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) using the GDS. (The DTCs will not be cleared even after the battery negative terminal has been disconnected. So, be sure to clear the DTCs using the GDS.)

4)	Reset the automatic transaxle adaptive values using the GDS.

5)	Perform the TCM adaptive values learning procedure. (Refer to "Repair procedures" in Automatic Transaxle Control System of this group)

•	In case of replacing with a remanufactured automatic transaxle

1)	Remanufactured automatic transaxle 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 transaxle with fluid. (Refer to "Fluid" in Hydraulic System of this group)

3)	Clear the diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) using the GDS. (The DTCs will not be cleared even after the battery negative terminal has been disconnected. So, be sure to clear the DTCs using the GDS.)

4)	Reset the automatic transaxle adaptive values using the GDS.

5)	Perform the TCM adaptive values learning procedure. (Refer to "Repair procedures" in Automatic Transaxle Control System of this group)
