| 4. |
Install the air cleaner and air duct.
|
| 5. |
Start the engine.
(Don’t step on brake and accelerator simultaneously.)
|
| 6. |
Confirm that the temperature of the automatic transaxle oil temperature
sensor is 50 - 60°C (122 - 140°F) with the diagnostic tool.
|
| 7. |
Shift the select lever slowly from “P” to “D”, then “D” to “P” and repeat
one more at idle.
|
| 8. |
