IMPORTANT
If the transmission is being installed in a ‘01-‘03 Toyota RAV4 the ECM part number must be checked to verify an updated ECM has
been installed. Refer to Toyota bulletin number 0156-10 Rev. 1 for specific information. Failure to verify a properly functioning ECM
is installed in the vehicle will cause immediate transmission damage and will void your warranty.
If the transmissions is being installed in a ’04-Present Toyota RAV4 4x4 with a 2.4L engine, the transmission cooler is not flushable
and must be replaced. Failure to do so may result in transmission failure and/or void your warranty.
CHECKLIST
• On AWD applications, install the new transfer case lube passage seal that has been supplied.
• Compare replacement transmission and torque convertor to original before installation.
• Scan original vehicle computer, record any codes for later review and resolve all codes. Please note that some engine codes will
inhibit the shift to 4th gear in this application.
• Transmission cooler and lines must be hot flushed or replaced.
• Inspect flex plate closely and completely for cracks or any damage.
• Be sure both dowel pins are clean, installed properly, and are in good condition.
• Seat the torque converter completely in the transmission prior to installing the transmission in the vehicle.
• Air tools should NOT be used to force the transmission against the engine block; this may damage or break the transmission
case.
• Inspect all engine, transmission, and cradle mounts for wear and damage.
• Inspect drive axle splines, retaining clips, and CV joints for wear and damage.
• Test all sensors and switches that have been transferred from the original transmission for correct operation.
• Fill the transmission with purchased synthetic or T-IV transmission fluid.
• Confirm that the transmission has a good ground connection; reattach all ground straps to the correct location free of paint,
grease, oil and corrosion.

• Do not use power tools to tighten the manual lever retaining nut. The use of power tools can damage the internal linkage.
• Reset the adaptive memory in the ECM with a capable scan tool. Disconnecting the battery is not sufficient to clear the adaptive
memory. See next page for adaptive memory reset screenshots from a Toyota factory scan tool.
