Fluid Fill Reference:

Draining
1. With the vehicle in PARK, position it on a hoist. Set the vehicle as close to level as possible.
2. Remove the transmission fluid drain plug (large plug) and allow the fluid to drain.





Refill
1. Install the transmission fluid drain plug.
^ Tighten to 26 Nm (19 lb-ft).





2. Hold the larger transmission fluid drain plug with a wrench and remove the small (center) transmission fluid level indicating plug.





3. Install the special tool into the transmission fluid pan.





4. NOTE: Prior to filling the special tool with clean transmission fluid, make sure that the canister is clean.

Fill the special tool with clean transmission fluid.





5. Hang the special tool under the vehicle, upright and close to the transmission.





6. Connect the special tools.
^ Connect the open end of the fluid hose from the Fluid Transporter/Evacuator/Injector to the Fluid Level and Fill Plug Adapter at the bottom of the transmission fluid pan.





7. Apply a maximum of 206.85 kPa (30 psi) to the open end of the vacuum/pressure hose from the special tool. Transmission fluid will immediately start flowing out of the special tool into the transmission fluid pan.





8. Add 1.89L or 2.83L (2 qt or 3 qt) of transmission fluid into the transmission fluid pan. Stop the process by releasing the air pressure and removing the air nozzle from the end of the hose.

9. NOTE: Engine idle speed is approximately 650 rpm.

Using the scan tool, start and run the engine until the transmission fluid temperature is between 27° C-49° C (80° F-120° F).
10. Inspect the transmission fluid level in the special tool. If the fluid drains back into the canister, the transmission is full. If no transmission fluid drains back, more transmission fluid will need to be added. Repeat Steps 9 and 10.
11. Once the transmission is full, place a hand vacuum pump on the open end of the vacuum/pressure hose on the special tool and apply vacuum to the system. This will pull out any extra fluid trapped in the system and direct it into the container.





12. Allow the transmission fluid to drain. When the transmission fluid comes out as a thin stream or drip, the transmission fluid is at the correct level.





13. Reinstall the small (center) transmission fluid level indicating plug.
^ Tighten to 10 Nm (89 lb-inch).
