Oil and Chemical Type

Caution

• If the characteristic value of a new coupling component is not input to the PCM or the characteristic value is input incorrectly after replacing the coupling component, it could result in the following conditions:

― The system does not operate normally.

― A problem with durability of the coupling component occurs.

• After replacing the coupling component, read out the characteristic value of a new coupling component and write it to the PCM. (See COUPLING COMPONENT CALIBRATION DATA WRITING.)

• Read out the characteristic value of the coupling component from the label or mark shown in the figure.

Coupling Component Removal Note

1.Disconnect the coupling component using an oil pan seal cutter.

Coupling Component Installation Note

Note

• Clean away the remaining silicone sealant before applying new silicone sealant.

• Install the coupling component before the applied silicone sealant starts to harden.

• Add rear differential oil after the silicone sealant hardens.

1.Apply a thin layer of silicone sealant TB1217C to the contact surfaces of the coupling component and the rear differential.
