  Q: How to remove the U340E automatic transaxle shift cable assembly on Toyota Yaris?

  A:

  The first step to remove the U340E automatic transaxle transmission control cable assembly involves taking out the center lower instrument panel finish panel for Sedan then moving on to take out the upper console panel sub-assembly for Sedan. Lastly, remove the center lower instrument panel finish panel for Hatchback before proceeding to take out the rear upper console panel sub-assembly for Sedan. Sedan owners must start by taking off the rear console box cover followed by the Hatchback owners to remove the rear upper console panel sub-assembly from Sedan models. First remove both the console box carpet along with the rear console box assembly. Unplug the battery while taking out the battery tray. Proceed to eliminate both the air cleaner assembly and air cleaner bracket from the vehicle. To separate the oxygen sensor connector begin by removing the floor carpet then disconnect the connector followed by grommet removal before placing the connector outside the vehicle. Uninstall the front Exhaust Pipe assembly at the same time as the front NO. 1 floor heat insulator through bolt and nut removal. The final stage of the procedure demands disconnecting the transmission control cable assembly through detaching it from the shift lever then turning the nut to break its connection from the shift lever retainer before disconnecting it from the control cable support where the nut for connection to the control shaft lever must be removed along with taking off the clip to separate from the control cable bracket so all 3 nuts can be removed finally to detach the control cable.

  Q: How to install the Shift Cable assembly for the U340E automatic transaxle on Toyota Yaris?

  A:

  The installation of the U340E automatic transaxle transmission control cable assembly begins by joining the control cable with the control shaft lever through a nut which demands 12 Nm (122 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf) torque. Set a torque of 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 in-lbf) when attaching three nuts to secure the control cable connector to its clamp. The control cable must then be pointed towards portion A-A before being bracketed to the control cable bracket using a new clip. Place the control cable nut through the lock mechanism and position the cable extension toward the top while the lock extends beyond point A-A on the retainer. The control cable should connect to the shift lever while its adjusting mechanism faces the vehicle's left side. During installation of the front No. 1 floor heat insulator you must use two bolts with a nut secured at 5.5 Nm (56 kgf-cm, 49 in-lbf). Begin by installing the front Exhaust Pipe assembly while connecting the oxygen sensor connector by guiding its insertion into the floor panel hole from the room side before installing the grommet followed by connector connection. Put the air cleaner bracket first together with the air cleaner assembly to complete the installation process while also adding battery tray and battery. Check the position of shift lever then perform any required adjustments. The installation process ends with the assembly of the rear console box along with its carpeting and hatchback-specific cover and sedan-specific panel components. You should check for exhaust gas leakage at this point.
