A/T FLUID LEAKAGE AND A/T FLUID LEVEL CHECK

1.

Warm up engine.

2.

Check for A/T fluid leakage.

3.

Loosen the level gauge bolt.

4.

Before driving, A/T fluid level can be checked at A/T fluid tem-
peratures 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 engine and move selector lever through each gear posi-
tion. 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:

To check A/T fluid level, insert the A/T fluid level gauge until the cap contacts the end of the A/T
fluid charging pipe, with the A/T fluid level gauge reversed from the normal attachment conditions.

f.

Remove A/T fluid level gauge and note reading. If reading is at low side of range, add ATF to the A/T fluid
charging pipe.

CAUTION:

Do not overfill.

5.

Drive vehicle for approximately 5 minutes in urban areas.

6.

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.

Connect CONSULT-III to data link connector.

b.

Select “DATA MONITOR”.

c.

°

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.
• To check A/T fluid level, insert the A/T fluid level gauge

until the cap contacts the end of the A/T fluid charging
pipe, with the A/T fluid level gauge reversed from the nor-
mal attachment conditions as shown.

8.

Install the removed A/T fluid level gauge in the A/T fluid charging
pipe.

9.

Tighten level gauge bolt. Refer to 

TM-275, "2WD : Exploded

1.

Warm up ATF.

2.

Stop engine.

3.

Loosen the level gauge bolt.

4.

Drain ATF from drain plug and refill with new ATF. Always refill

• To replace the ATF, pour in new ATF at the A/T fluid charging

pipe with the engine idling and at the same time drain the old
ATF from the radiator cooler hose return side.

• When the color of the ATF coming out is about the same as

the color of the new ATF, the replacement is complete. The
amount of new ATF to use should be 30 to 50% increase of
the stipulated amount.
