Mazda 3 Service Manual: Control Valve Body Removal/Installation [FS5 A 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.

1. Remove the battery cover..

2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

3. Remove the aerodynamic under cover NO.2..

4. Clean the transaxle exterior throughout with a steam cleaner or cleaning solvents.

5. Drain the ATF..

6. Remove the oil pan.

7. Remove the oil strainer.

8. Disconnect each solenoid valve connector and GND.

9. Remove the bolts as shown, then remove the primary control valve body.

10. Remove the accumulators and accumulator springs.

Primary Control Valve Body On-Vehicle Installation

CAUTION:

• Be sure to align the parking rod and the manual valve.

  

  
  

1. Install the accumulator springs, accumulators and primary control valve body.

2. Tighten the bolts as shown to install the primary control valve body.

Tightening torque

• 8—10 N·m {82—101 kgf·cm, 71—88 in·lbf}

3. Match the harness colors, then connect each solenoid valves connector. Connector color (harness-side)

4. Install the GND.

Tightening torque

• 8—10 N·m {82—101 kgf·cm, 71—88 in·lbf}

5. Install the oil strainer.

6. Install the TFT sensor to the oil strainer.

7. Apply a light coat of silicon sealant (TB1217E) to the contact surfaces of the oil pan and transaxle case.

CAUTION:

• If any sealant remains on the sealing surfaces of the transaxle case and oil pan, transaxle damage may occur. Use a cleaning fluid to remove any old sealant from the transaxle case and oil pan.

8. Install the oil pan before the applied sealant starts to harden.

Tightening torque

• 6—8 N·m {62—81 kgf·cm, 54—70 in·lbf}

9. Add the ATF..

10. Install the aerodynamic under cover NO.2..

11. Connect the negative battery cable.

12. Install the battery cover..

13. Perform the “Mechanical System Test”..

14. Perform the “Road Test”..

Secondary 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.

1. Remove the battery cover..

2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
