Air cleaner assembly bolts:

7.8 ~ 9.8 N.m (0.8 ~ 1.0 kgf.m, 5.8 ~ 7.2 lb-ft)

•	When installing the air intake hose, the plate of the hose clamp must be in line with the stopper of the hose.

•	When installing the air intake hose, the center of the mark of hose must be in line with the throttle body rib.

9.	Remove the hybrid power control unit assembly. ( Refer to Hybrid Control System - "HPCU (Hybrid Power Control Unit)")

10.

Remove the HPCU tray (A).

Tightening torque:

19.6 ~ 29.4 N.m (2.0 ~ 3.0 kgf.m, 14.5 ~ 21.7 lb-ft)

11.

Remove the automatic oil cooler tube (A).

Tightening torque:

Eye bolt : 41.2 ~ 47.1 N.m (4.2 ~ 4.8 kgf.m, 30.4 ~ 34.7 lb-ft)

Bracket bolt: 9.8 ~ 11.8 N.m (1.0 ~ 1.2 kgf.m, 7.2 ~ 8.7 lb-ft)

12.

Remove the ATF Warmer hose (A) and then remove the valve body cover (B).

Tightening torque:

11.8 ~ 13.7 N.m (1.2 ~ 1.4 kgf.m, 8.7 ~ 10.1 lb-ft)

13.	Remove the oil temperature sensor (A) and solenoid valve connector assembly (B).

14.

Remove the valve body assembly (A).

Tightening torque:

9.8 ~ 11.8 N.m (1.0 ~ 1.2 kgf.m, 7.2 ~ 8.7 lb-ft)

Installation

Install in the reverse order of removal.

•	Do not reuse the drain plug gasket and the valve body cover gasket, oil cooler tube washer.

•	Be careful not to damage the hose when tightening the clamp.

•	Install the clamp in the specified direction to prevent interference with surrounding components.

•	Perform the procedures below after replacing the valve body.

1)	Refill the automatic transaxle with fluid. (Refer to Hydraulic System - "Fluid")

2)	Refill the engine & transaxle cooling system with coolant. (Refer to Engine Mechanical System - "Coolant")

3)	Refill the hybrid motor cooling system with coolant and then perform the air bleeding using the GDS. (Refer to Hybrid Motor System - "Coolant")

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

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

6)	Confirm the coolant leak or fluid leak from the hose connections part in state of engine start.
