Fluid - A/T: Testing and Inspection

Check the Fluid Level

HINT:
- Drive the vehicle so that the engine and transaxle are at normal operating temperature.

Fluid temp.: 158 - 176 °F (70 - 80 °C )

- Use the COOL range on the dipstick as a rough reference when the fluid is replaced or the engine does not run.

(1) Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking brake.

(2) With the engine idling and the brake pedal depressed, shift the shift lever into all positions from P to L position and return it to the P position.

(3) Pull out the dipstick and wipe it off.

(4) Push the dipstick back fully into the pipe.





(5) Pull the dipstick out and check that the fluid level is in the HOT range.
If the level is at the low side, add new fluid.
