21. Remove the transmission assembly by lowering the supporting jack.

CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage tubes, hoses or wire.

Installation

1. Installation is the reverse of removal.

NOTE:
After replacement or reinstallation procedure of the automatic transmission assembly, perform the procedures below.
- Adding automatic transmission fluid.
- After servicing the automatic transmission or TCM, clear the diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) using the GDS tool.
Diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) cannot be cleared by disconnecting the battery.
When deleting diagnostic trouble code, use the GDS.
- When replacing the automatic transmission, reset the automatic transmissions values by using the GDS.
- After exchanging automatic transmission, input the EOL(End of line).

- Perform TCM learning after replacing the transmission to prevent slow transmission response, jerky acceleration and jerky startup.
