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.

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. Automatic Transmission. 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.
