A/T FLUID


Checking A/T Fluid

1. Warm up engine.
2. Check for A/T fluid leakage.





3. Before driving, A/T fluid level can be checked at A/T fluid temperatures of 30� to 50�C (86� to 122�F) using the "COLD" range on A/T fluid level gauge.
- A : Front side
- B : Reverse side
- C : Add
- D : OK a. Park vehicle on level surface and set parking brake.
b. Start engine and move selector lever through each gear position. Leave selector lever in "P" position.
c. Check A/T fluid level with engine idling.





d. Remove A/T fluid level gauge and wipe clean with lint-free cloth.

CAUTION:
When wiping the A/T fluid level gauge, always use lint-free cloth.
e. Re-insert A/T fluid level gauge into A/T fluid charging pipe as far as it will go.

CAUTION:
Firmly fix the A/T fluid level gauge to the A/T fluid charging pipe using the stopper attached.
f. Remove A/T fluid level gauge and note reading. If reading is at low side of range, add A/T fluid to the A/T fluid charging pipe.

CAUTION:
Do not overfill.
4. Drive vehicle for approximately 5 minutes.
5. Re-check A/T fluid level at A/T fluid temperatures of 50� to 80�C (122� to 176�F) using "HOT" range on A/T fluid level gauge.

CAUTION:
- When wiping the A/T fluid level gauge, always use lint-free cloth.
- Firmly fix the A/T fluid level gauge to the A/T fluid charging pipe using the stopper attached.
6. Check A/T fluid condition and make any necessary repairs. Inspections Before Trouble Diagnosis. If the A/T fluid contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.), or if the A/T is repaired, overhauled, or replaced, inspect and clean the A/T fluid cooler mounted in the radiator. Service and Repair.
7. Install the removed A/T fluid level gauge into the A/T fluid charging pipe.

CAUTION:
Firmly fix the A/T fluid level gauge to the A/T fluid charging pipe using the stopper attached.
