AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY (for 1UR-FE) INSTALLATION

INSPECT TORQUE CONVERTER ASSEMBLY

Inspect the 1-way clutch.
1. Press on the serrations of the stator with a finger and rotate the stator. Check that it rotates smoothly when turned clockwise and locks when turned counterclockwise.
  
  If necessary, clean the converter and recheck the 1-way clutch.
  
  Replace the converter if the 1-way clutch still fails the inspection.

*a Sample showing maximum allowable amount of powder in ATF

Determine the condition of the torque converter.
1. If the inspection result of the torque converter satisfies the following conditions, replace the torque converter.
  - A metallic sound is emitted from the torque converter during the stall test or when the shift lever is moved to N.
  - The 1-way clutch is free or locks in both directions.
  - The amount of powder in the ATF is more than the sample shown in the illustration (see the sample).
  Tech Tips
  
  The sample shows approximately 0.025 liters (0.026 US qts, 0.022 Imp. qts) of ATF that was taken out from a removed torque converter.
Replace the ATF in the torque converter.
1. If the ATF is discolored and/or has a foul odor, stir the ATF in the torque converter thoroughly and drain the ATF with the torque converter facing upward.
Clean and check the oil cooler and oil pipe line.
1. If the torque converter is inspected or the ATF is replaced, clean the oil cooler and oil pipe line.
  Tech Tips
  - Apply compressed air at 196 kPa (2.0 kgf/cm², 28 psi) into the inlet hose.
  - If a large amount of powder is found in the ATF, add new ATF using a bucket pump and clean the oil cooler and oil pipe again.
2. If the ATF is cloudy, inspect the oil cooler.

Tech Tips

If the stator shaft splines are difficult to engage with the stator splines, move the torque converter back approximately 10 mm and engage the splines while rotating the torque converter.
Turn the torque converter assembly to engage the key of the oil pump drive gear and the slot on the torque converter assembly.

ADD ENGINE COOLANT

Add engine coolant.

Standard Capacity

Item	Specified Condition
with rear heater	16.2 liters (17.1 US qts, 14.3 Imp. qts)
without rear heater	13.4 liters (14.2 US qts, 11.8 Imp. qts)

Note

Do not substitute plain water for engine coolant.

Tech Tips

TOYOTA vehicles are filled with TOYOTA SLLC at the factory. In order to avoid damage to the engine cooling system and other technical problems, only use TOYOTA SLLC or similar high quality ethylene glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, non-borate coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology (coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology consists of a combination of low phosphates and organic acids).

Slowly pour coolant into the radiator reservoir until it reaches the F line.
Install the reservoir cap.
Press the No. 1 and No. 2 radiator hoses several times by hand, and then check the coolant level. If the coolant level is low, add coolant.
Install the radiator cap.
Start the engine and warm it up until the thermostat opens.

Tech Tips

The thermostat opening timing can be confirmed by pressing the radiator inlet hose by hand, and checking when the engine coolant starts to flow inside the hose.
Maintain the engine speed at 2000 to 2500 rpm.
Note
- Make sure that the radiator reservoir still has some coolant in it.
- Pay attention to the needle of the water temperature meter. Make sure that the needle does not show an abnormally high temperature.
- If there is not enough coolant, the engine may burn out or overheat.
- Immediately after starting the engine, if the radiator reservoir does not have any coolant, perform the following: 1) stop the engine, 2) wait until the coolant has cooled down, and 3) add coolant until the coolant is filled to the F line.
- Run the engine at 2000 rpm until the coolant level has stabilized.
Press the No. 1 and No. 2 radiator hoses several times by hand to bleed air.
CAUTION:
- Wear protective gloves.
- Be careful as the radiator hoses are hot.
- Keep your hands away from the fan.
Stop the engine, and wait until the engine coolant cools down to ambient temperature.

CAUTION:

Do not remove the radiator cap while the engine and radiator are still hot. Pressurized, hot engine coolant and steam may be released and cause serious burns.
Check that the coolant level is between the F and L lines.

If the coolant level is below the L line, repeat all of the procedures above.

If the coolant level is above the F line, drain coolant so that the coolant level is between the F and L lines.

INSPECT FOR ENGINE COOLANT LEAK
CAUTION:

Do not remove the radiator cap while the engine and radiator are still hot. Pressurized, hot engine coolant and steam may be released and cause serious burns.
1. Fill the radiator with coolant and attach a radiator cap tester.
2. Warm up the engine.
3. Using the radiator cap tester, increase the pressure inside the radiator to 123 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm², 18 psi), and check that the pressure does not drop.
  
  If the pressure drops, check the hoses, radiator and water pump for leaks. If no external leaks are found, check the heater core, cylinder block and head.
INSPECT SHIFT LEVER POSITION
1. When moving the shift lever from P to R with the engine switch on (IG) and the brake pedal depressed, make sure that it moves smoothly and correctly into position.
2. Check that the shift lever does not stop when moving the shift lever from R to P, and check that the shift lever does not stick when moving the shift lever from D to S.
3. Start the engine and make sure that the vehicle moves forward after moving the shift lever from N to D, and moves rearward after moving the shift lever to R.
  
  If there are problems during the above inspections, perform the adjustment using the following procedures.
  1. Move the shift lever to N
