  1. Locate the CVT filter (if equipped) and remove the retaining bolts.
  2. Carefully remove the old filter and discard it.
  3. Install the new filter, ensuring it is seated properly, and torque the bolts to manufacturer specifications.

4. Electrical Connections

• Sub-steps:
  1. Inspect electrical connectors and wiring harnesses for any signs of damage or corrosion.
  2. Clean and reconnect any loose connectors, ensuring a secure fit.

5. Reassemble and Test

• Sub-steps:
  1. Reconnect the battery.
  2. Start the vehicle and allow it to idle while checking for leaks.
