3. Compare the appearance and smell, and identify

the type of oil that is leaking.

4. Remove any oil on the engine or transaxle.
5. Allow the engine to run for 30 minutes.
6. Check the area where the oil is leaking, then

make necessary repairs.

Disconnection of the Negative Battery Cable

•

Before beginning any work, turn the ignition switch to LOCK position, then disconnect the negative battery
cable and wait for more than 1 minute to allow the backup power supply of the SAS control module to deplete
its stored power. Disconnecting the battery cable will delete the memories of the clock, audio, and DTCs, etc.
Therefore, it is necessary to verify those memories before disconnecting the cable.

Removal of Parts

•

While correcting a problem, also try to determine
its cause. Begin work only after first learning
which parts and subassemblies must be removed
and disassembled for replacement or repair. After
removing the part, plug all holes and ports to
prevent foreign material from entering.

Disassembly

•

If the disassembly procedure is complex,
requiring many parts to be disassembled, all parts
should be marked in a place that will not affect
their performance or external appearance and
identified so that reassembly can be performed
easily and efficiently.

Inspection During Removal, Disassembly

•

When removed, each part should be carefully
inspected for malfunction, deformation, damage,
and other problems.

Arrangement of Parts

•

All disassembled parts should be carefully arranged for reassembly.

•

Be sure to separate or otherwise identify the parts
to be replaced from those that will be reused.

Cleaning of Parts

•

All parts to be reused should be carefully and thoroughly cleaned in the appropriate method.

Warning

••••

Using compressed air can cause dirt and
other particles to fly out causing injury to
the eyes. Wear protective eye wear
whenever using compressed air.

Reassembly

•

Standard values, such as torques and certain
adjustments, must be strictly observed in the
reassembly of all parts.

•

If removed, these parts should be replaced with
new ones:
— Oil seals
— Gaskets
— O-rings
— Lockwashers
— Cotter pins
— Nylon nuts

•

Depending on location:
— Sealant and gaskets, or both, should be

applied to specified locations. When sealant
is applied, parts should be installed before sealant hardens to prevent leakage.

— Oil should be applied to the moving components of parts.
— Specified oil or grease should be applied at

the prescribed locations (such as oil seals)
before reassembly.

Adjustment

•

Use suitable gauges and/or testers when making
adjustments.

Rubber Parts and Tubing

•

Prevent gasoline or oil from getting on rubber
parts or tubing.

Hose Clamps

•

When reinstalling, position the hose clamp in the
original location on the hose and squeeze the
clamp lightly with large pliers to ensure a good fit.

Torque Formulas

•

When using a torque wrench-SST or equivalent
combination, the written torque must be
recalculated due to the extra length that the SST
or equivalent adds to the torque wrench.
Recalculate the torque using the following
formulas. Choose the formula that applies to you.

A : The length of the SST past the torque wrench drive.
L : The length of the torque wrench.
