Transmission Fluid Level Check
NOTE:
The transmission fluid should be checked at normal operating temperature 82°C-93°C (180°F-200°F) on a level surface. Normal operating temperature can be reached after approximately 32 km (20 mi) of driving.
Under normal circumstances, the transmission fluid level should be checked during normal maintenance. If the transmission starts to slip, shifts slowly or shows signs of transmission fluid leaking, the transmission fluid level should be checked.
- 1.
With the transmission in PARK, the engine at idle, foot pressed on the brake, move the selector lever through each gear and allow engagement of each gear. Place the selector lever in the PARK position.
- 2.
Wipe the transmission fluid level indicator cap and remove the transmission fluid level indicator.
- 4.
Install the transmission fluid level indicator back in the transmission until it is fully seated, then remove the indicator. The transmission fluid level should be within the normal operating range.
