  1. REPLACE CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSAXLE FLUID

    1. Lift the vehicle. [*1]

      Note:

      Set the vehicle on a lift so that the vehicle is kept level when it is lifted up (make sure that the tilt angle from the front to rear of the vehicle is within +/-1°).

    2. Remove the rear engine under cover LH (Click here).

      Temporarily install the gasket and overflow plug to the continuously variable transaxle assembly. [*7]

      Tip:

      Reuse the old gasket as the overflow plug will be removed again to adjust the fluid level.

    9. C289696

      Add the same amount of fluid drained in step [*5] to the refill hole. [*8]

      Note:

      Use Toyota Genuine CVT Fluid FE.

    10. C289692

      Temporarily install the gasket and refill plug to avoid fluid spillage. [*9]

      Reuse the old gasket as the refill plug will be removed again to adjust the fluid level.

    11. Lower the vehicle. [*10]

    12. Start the engine. [*11]

    13. Slowly move the shift lever from P to D, and then back to P (keep the shift lever in each position for approximately 3 seconds). [*12]

      Tip:

      Slowly move the shift lever to circulate the fluid through each part of the continuously variable transaxle assembly.

    14. Allow the engine assembly to idle for 30 seconds to warm it up. [*13]

    15. Turn the ignition switch off. [*14]

    16. Repeat steps [*1] to [*14].

    17. Repeat steps [*1] to [*10].
