InspectionA/T FLUID LEAKAGE AND A/T FLUID LEVEL CHECK
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 "COLD" range on A/T fluid level gauge as follows.
a. Park vehicle on level surface and set parking brake.
b. Start the engine and shift the 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 paper.
CAUTION: When wiping away the A/T fluid level gauge, always use lint-free paper, not a cloth one.
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 wipe using a stopper attached.
f. Remove A/T fluid level gauge and note reading. If reading is at low side of range, add [1][2]ATF to the A/T fluid charging pipe.
CAUTION: Do not overfill.
4. Drive vehicle for approximately 5 minutes in urban areas.
5. Make the A/T fluid temperature approximately 65°C (149°F).
NOTE: A/T fluid level will be greatly affected by temperature as shown in figure. Therefore, be certain to perform operation while checking data with "CONSULT-III".
a. Select "Data Monitor" mode for "TRANSMISSION".
b. Read out the value of "[1][2]ATF TEMP 1".
6. Re-check A/T fluid level at A/T fluid temperatures of approximately 65°C (149°F) using "HOT" range on A/T fluid level gauge.
CAUTION:
^ When wiping away the A/T fluid level gauge, always use lint-free paper, not a cloth one.
^ Firmly fix the A/T fluid level gauge to the A/T fluid charging pipe using a stopper attached.
7. Install the removed A/T fluid level gauge in the A/T fluid charging pipe.
A/T FLUID CONDITION CHECK
Check the A/T fluid condition.
