Hyundai Accent: Hydraulic System / Fluid

- Components Location

1. Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT)
2. Drain plug gasket
3. Drain plug
4. Intelligent Variable Transmission Fluid (IVTF) level check plug
5. IVTF injection plug

• Be sure to use the genuine IVTF (SP-IVT1).

• When replacing with non-genuine IVTF, bad shift and vibration may occur, causing damage to the IVT.

• Non-genuine IVT fluid includes aftermarket IVT fluid indicated as interchangeable with genuine Hyundai fluid.

• When checking the IVTF level, be careful not to allow foreign substance (like dust) to enter through the filler hole.

1.Remove the air cleaner assembly.(Refer to Engine Mechanical System - "Air cleaner")

2.Add 0.3 liters of SP-CVT1 through the IVTF filler hole after removing the IVTF injection plug (A).

3.Start the engine to warm up the IVTF.

• Do not step on the brake and accelerator simultaneously to warm up the IVTF.

4.Check by using Diagnostic tool that the temperature of the IVTF is between 50°C and 60°C (122 - 140°F).

5.Move the shift lever slowly from "P" to "D", then back to "P". Repeat this sequence two times and then move the shift lever to "P" range.

• Maintain at each speed position for more than 2 sec.

6.Remove the under cover.(Refer to Engine Mechanical System - "Engine Room Under Cover")

7.Lift the vehicle and remove the IVTF level plug (A) from the valve body cover.

• When removing the IVTF level plug, keep the vehicle on a level ground.

8.Check the IVTF level.

Normally: IVTF flows out in a thin oil stream.Excessive (abnormal): Over 0.4 liters of IVTF flows out for 2 minutes.Insufficient (abnormal): There is no fluid flow.

• If the IVTF level is too high or low, follow the instructions below.

• Excessive: Drain until the IVTF flows out in a thin oil stream.

• Insufficient: Add until the IVTF flows out in a thin oil stream.

9.Install the IVTF level plug (A).

Tightening torque : 34.3 - 44.1 N.m (3.5 - 4.5 kgf.m, 25.3 - 32.5 lb-ft)

10.Lower the vehicle and install the IVTF injection plug (A).

Tightening torque : 34.3 - 44.1 N.m (3.5 - 4.5 kgf.m, 25.3 - 32.5 lb-ft)

• Be sure to use the genuine IVTF (SP-IVT1).

• When replacing with non-genuine IVT fluid, bad shift and vibration may occur, causing damage to the IVT.

• Non-genuine IVT fluid includes aftermarket IVT fluid indicated as interchangeable with genuine Hyundai fluid.

1.Remove the under cover.(Refer to Engine Mechanical System - "Engine Room Under Cover")

2.Remove the IVTF drain plug (A), allow the fluid to drain out and then reinstall the drain plug.

Tightening torque:34.3 - 39.2 N.m (3.5 - 4.0 kgf.m, 25.3 - 28.9 lb-ft)

• The existing IVTF drain plug gasket must be replaced with a new one. (Do not reuse it.)

3.Remove the air cleaner assembly.(Refer to Engine Mechanical System - "Air cleaner")

4.Remove the IVTF injection plug (A).

5.Fill the Intelligent Variable Transmission(IVT) with about 5.0 liters of SP-CVT1 through the IVTF filler hole.

6.Perform the IVTF level check procedure.(Refer to Fluid - "Inspection")
