CONTROL VALVE BODY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [FS5A-EL]

Primary Control Valve Body On-Vehicle Removal

WARNING:
- A hot transaxle and ATF can cause severe burns. Turn off the engine and wait until they are cool.
- Using compressed air can cause dirt and other particles to fly out, causing injury to the eyes. Wear protective eyeglasses whenever using compressed air.

CAUTION:
- Water or foreign objects entering the connector can cause a poor connection or corrosion. Be sure not to drop water or foreign objects on the connector when disconnecting it.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
