Inspection

1.	Turn ignition switch OFF.

2.	Remove the air duct.

3.	Disconnect the solenoid valve connector(A).

4.	Measure resistance between sensor signal terminal and sensor ground terminal.

5.	Check that the resistance is within the specification.

Removal

1.	Remove the battery and the battery tray.

Remove the under cover(A).

Tightening torque :

7.8 ~ 11.8 N.m (0.8 ~ 1.2 kgf.m, 5.8 ~ 8.7 lb-ft)

3.	Drain the coolant.

Remove the drain plug (A) and reinstall the drain plug after draining ATF totally.

Drain plug tightening torque:
