Fluid - CVT: Testing and Inspection

HYBRID TRANSMISSION / TRANSAXLE: HYBRID TRANSAXLE SYSTEM: ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION

ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION

1. CHECK TRANSAXLE FLUID LEVEL
NOTICE:
- Insufficient or excessive amounts of transaxle oil may be the cause of some trouble.
- Place the vehicle on a level surface.
- Use genuine ATF WS.





(a) Remove the filler plug.
(b) Ensure that the transaxle oil level is within 0 to 5 mm (0 to 0.20 in.) of the filler plug hole.
NOTE: Recheck the transaxle oil level after driving the vehicle when exchanging oil.
HINT: Transaxle fluid quantity: 3.8 liters (4.0 US qts, 3.3 Imp. qts.)

(c) Check for leaks if the quantity of oil is low.
(d) Install the filler plug with a new gasket.
Torque: 39 Nm (400 kgf-cm, 29 ft-lbf)
2. INSPECT OIL PRESSURE
NOTE: Perform the test at normal operating oil temperature 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F).

(a) Lift up the vehicle.





(b) Remove the fluid pump cover plug and install SST.
SST: 09992-00095
09992-00112
09992-00271
(c) Set the blower switch to HI.
(d) Turn the A/C switch on.
(e) Push the power switch with the brake pedal depressed to start the engine (start the hybrid system).
(f) Keeping the engine speed of 1,200 rpm, measure the oil pressure.
Standard oil pressure:
9.8 kPa (0.1 kgf/cm2, 1.4 psi) or more





(g) Install a new O-ring and fluid pump cover plug.
Torque: 7.4 Nm (75 kgf-cm, 65 in-lbf)
