  8. INSTALL FRONT AXLE SHAFT NUT


    1. Clean the threaded parts on the drive shaft and a new axle shaft nut using a non-residue solvent.

      Tech Tips


      • Be sure to perform this work even when using a new drive shaft.

      • Keep the threaded parts free of oil and foreign matter.

    2. A01JCQ7

      Using a socket wrench (30 mm), install the axle shaft nut.

      Torque:
      216 N*m  { 2203 kgf*cm, 159 ft.*lbf }

    3. Using a chisel and hammer, stake the front axle shaft nut.

  9. ADD HYBRID TRANSAXLE FLUID

      *1 Filler Plug
      *2 Filler Nozzle

      Add transaxle fluid until the fluid level is between 0 to 10 mm (0 to 0.394 in.) from the bottom lip of the filler plug opening.

      Note


      • Stop the vehicle on a level surface.

      • Use Toyota Genuine ATF WS.

      • Be sure to fully insert the filler nozzle into the filler plug opening.

      • Be sure to add fluid slowly. If fluid is added quickly, the fluid may hit internal parts and bounce back, resulting in fluid coming out of the filler plug opening.

      • Be sure to directly check that the transaxle fluid level is within the specified range.

      • Insufficient or excessive amounts of transaxle fluid may damage the hybrid transaxle.

      Reference
      3.4 liters (3.6 US qts, 3.0 lmp.qts)

    2. After adding fluid, leave it for 30 seconds so that the fluid surface can become still again, and then check that the fluid level is between 0 to 10 mm (0 to 0.394 in.) from the bottom lip of the filler plug opening. (If the fluid is insufficient, return to the Add Hybrid Transaxle Fluid procedure.)

    3. Using a 10 mm hexagon socket wrench, install the filler plug with a new gasket.

      Torque:
      50 N*m  { 510 kgf*cm, 37 ft.*lbf }

  10. INSPECT HYBRID TRANSAXLE FLUID

      *1 Filler Plug

      Using a 10 mm hexagon socket wrench, remove the filler plug and gasket.

    2. Check that the fluid level is between 0 to 10 mm (0 to 0.394 in.) from the bottom lip of the filler plug opening. (If the fluid is insufficient, return to the Add Hybrid Transaxle Fluid procedure.)

      Note


      • Stop the vehicle on a level surface.

      • Be sure to directly check that the transaxle fluid level is within the specified range.

      • Insufficient or excessive amounts of transaxle fluid may damage the hybrid transaxle.

      • Recheck the transaxle fluid level after driving following fluid replacement.

    3. Check for leaks if the quantity of transaxle fluid is low.

    4. Using a 10 mm hexagon socket wrench, install the filler plug with a new gasket.

      Torque:
      50 N*m  { 510 kgf*cm, 37 ft.*lbf }
