Fluid - A/T: Service and Repair
AA80E AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID: ADJUSTMENT
1. BEFORE REFILL TRANSMISSION
This transmission requires Toyota Genuine ATF WS transmission fluid.
After servicing the transmission, you must refill the transmission with the correct amount of fluid.
Maintain the vehicle in a horizontal position while adjusting the fluid level.
If the entire transmission, transmission pan, drain plug, valve body and/or torque converter is replaced, proceed to the "FILL TRANSMISSION PAN WITH FLUID" procedures.
If the transmission hose, output shaft oil seal and/or radiator is replaced, remove the 2 bolts, transmission case cover and refill plug, and then proceed to the "FILL TRANSMISSION" procedures.
2. FILL TRANSMISSION PAN WITH FLUID
(a) Remove the refill plug and overflow plug.
(b) Fill the transmission through the refill hole until fluid begins to trickle out from the overflow tube.
(c) Reinstall the overflow plug.
3. FILL TRANSMISSION
(a) Fill the transmission with the amount of fluid listed in the table below.
(b) Reinstall the refill plug to prevent the fluid from spilling out.
Standard capacity:
HINT
If the amount of fluid listed in the table cannot be added, perform the next step.
(c) When the amount of fluid listed in the table cannot be added:
(1) Install the refill plug.
(2) Allow the engine to idle with the air conditioning OFF.
(3) Move the shift lever through the entire gear range to circulate fluid.
(4) Wait 30 seconds with the engine idling.
(5) Stop the engine.
(6) Remove the refill plug and add fluid.
(7) Reinstall the refill plug.
4. CHECK FLUID TEMPERATURE
NOTICE:
The fluid temperature can be confirmed by checking the D sift indicator in the meter or by Techstream. It is necessary to change to fluid temperature detection mode.
(a) When using the Techstream:
(1) Turn the ignition switch OFF.
(2) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(3) Turn the ignition switch ON.
NOTICE:
* Do not start engine yet.
* Check that electrical systems such as the air conditioning system, audio system and lighting system are off.
(4) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Active Test / Connect the TC and TE1.
(5) Select the item Data List / A/T Oil Temperature 1.
(6) Check A/T Oil Temperature 1.
NOTICE:
* If the fluid temperature is below 35°C (95°F), proceed to the next step. (Recommended ATF temperature 42°C (108°F) or less.)
* If the fluid temperature is 42°C (108°F) or more, turn the ignition switch OFF and wait until the fluid temperature drops below 35°C (95°F).
(7) Push the active test menu: Connect the TC and TE1 / ON.
(8) Start the engine.
(b) When not using the Techstream (using D sift indicator):
(1) Connect terminals CG (4) and TC (13) of the DLC3 using SST.
SST : 09843-18040
(2) Start the engine.
NOTICE:
Check that electrical systems such as the air conditioning system, audio system and lighting system are off.
HINT
Indicator lights of the meter blink to output DTCs when terminals TC and CG are connected and.
(c) Slowly move the shift lever from the P to the S position, Shift the gear from 1st to 8th and then return the shift lever return to P position.
(d) Move the shift lever to D, and quickly move back and forth between N and D (once within 1.5 seconds) for at least 6 seconds. This will activate the fluid temperature detection mode.
NOTICE:
D sift indicator remains illuminated for 2 seconds and then off.
(e) When using the Techstream:
(1) Return the shift lever to P and press "OFF" on the Active Test display.
(f) When not using the Techstream:
(1) Return the shift lever to P and disconnect terminals 13 (TC) and 4 (CG).
(g) Allow the engine to idle until the fluid temperature reaches 35°C (95°F).
(h) The D sift indicator will come on again when the fluid temperature reaches 35°C (95°F) and will blink when it exceeds 42°C (108°F).
D sift Indicator Indication of ATF Temperature
NOTICE:
Perform the fluid level inspection while the D sift indicator is turn on.
5. CHECK FLUID LEVEL
NOTICE:
The fluid temperature must be between 35°C (95°F) and 42°C (108°F) to check the fluid level.
(a) Remove the overflow plug with the engine idling.
(b) Check that the fluid comes out of the overflow tube.
If fluid does not come out, proceed to the next step.
If fluid comes out, wait until the overflow slows to a trickle and proceed to the ''COMPLETE'' procedure.
6. REFILL AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID
(a) Install the overflow plug.
(b) Stop the engine.
(c) Remove the refill plug.
(d) Add 0.4 liters (0.42 US qts, 0.35 Imp. qts) of fluid.
(e) Allow the engine to idle and wait for 10 seconds.
(f) Repeat the ''CHECK FLUID LEVEL'' procedure.
7. COMPLETE
(a) Install the overflow plug and a new gasket.
Torque : 20 Nm (204 kgf-cm, 15 ft-lbf)
(b) Stop the engine.
(c) Install the refill plug and a new gasket.
Torque : 39 Nm (400 kgf-cm, 29 ft-lbf)
