REMOVAL

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

The necessary procedures (adjustment, calibration, initialization or registration) that must be performed after parts are removed and installed, or replaced during rear traction motor with transaxle assembly removal/installation are shown below.

Necessary Procedures after parts removed/installed/replaced

Replaced Part or Performed Procedure	Necessary Procedure	Effect/Inoperative Function when Necessary Procedure not Performed
Replacement of rear traction motor with transaxle assembly	Resolver learning Initialize resolver	DTCs are stored Slight vibration at a vehicle speed of 5 km/h (3 mph) or less Shock or vibration during acceleration
Rear wheel alignment adjustment	Perform "Reset Memory" Perform "Calibration"	DTCs are stored ABS warning light illuminates Brake system warning light (yellow indicator) illuminates Slip indicator light illuminates Electronically controlled brake system disabled or malfunctions
Gas leak from exhaust system is repaired	Inspection after repair	Poor idle, etc. Engine start function, etc.

CAUTION:

Orange wire harnesses and connectors indicate high-voltage circuits. To prevent electric shock, always follow the procedure described in the repair manual.

To prevent electric shock, wear insulated gloves when working on wire harnesses and components of the high voltage system.
To prevent burns, do not touch the engine, exhaust pipe or other high temperature components while the engine is hot.

HINT:

When the cable is disconnected / reconnected to the auxiliary battery terminal, systems temporarily stop operating. However, each system has a function that completes learning the first time the system is used.

Learning completes when vehicle is driven

Effect/Inoperative Function when Necessary Procedure not Performed	Necessary Procedure	Link
Front Camera System	Drive the vehicle straight ahead at 15 km/h (9 mph) or more for 1 second or more.
