8. Drive the vehicle until the transmission fluid is warmed up to 

the normal operating temperature 70 

− 80°C (158 − 176°F), 

and check the transmission fluid level. It must be within the 
"H" area on the oil level gauge.
NOTE: The "C" level is for reference only. Use the "H" level 
as the criteria.
NOTE: Use scan tool MB991958 to measure the transmis-
sion fluid temperature.
NOTE: 

When a certain amount of time is required to warm 

up the transmission fluid to the normal operating tempera-
ture 70 

 80

°

C (158 

 176

°

F), check the oil level referring to 

the characteristics chart.

9. Adjust the transmission fluid level to the specified level. 

Refill the transmission fluid when the fluid level is low, and 
drain the transmission fluid through the drain plug when the 
fluid level is high.

10.Securely insert the oil level gauge into the oil filler tube.
11.TCM records the deterioration level of the transmission fluid. 

After replacing the transmission fluid with new one, use scan 
tool MB991958 to reset the deterioration level recorded in 
TCM.

WARNING

Wear protective eyewear that meets the require-
ments of ANSI Z87.1 

 1968 and OSHA. Wear stan-

dard industrial rubber gloves.

Keep lighted cigarettes, sparks, flames, and other 
ignition sources away from the area to prevent the 
ignition of combustible liquids and gases. Keep a 
class B fire extinguisher in the area where the 
flushing tool will be used. Keep the area well venti-
lated. Do not let flushing solvent come in contact 
with eyes or skin. If it does, flush with water for 15 
to 20 seconds. Remove contaminated clothing and 
wash affected skin with soap and water. Seek med-
ical attention.

When a transaxle failure has contaminated the transmission 
fluid, the transaxle must be flushed. The transmission fluid 
warmer (transmission fluid cooler) on the transaxle must also 
be replaced. The torque converter must also be replaced with 
an exchange unit. This will ensure that metal particles or 
sludged transmission fluid are not later transferred back into 
the reconditioned (or replaced) transaxle. There are two differ-
ent procedures for flushing coolers and lines. The recom-
mended procedure is to use special tool MB995062 Flushing 
Tool. The other procedure is to use a hand suction gun and 
mineral spirits.
1. Remove the cover plate filler plug on special tool 

MB995062. Fill the reservoir 1/2 to 3/4 full with fresh flushing 
solution. Flushing solvents are petroleum based solutions 
generally used to clean transaxle components. Do not use 
solvents containing acids, water, gasoline, or any other 
corrosive liquids.

2. Reinstall the filler plug on special tool MB995062.
3. Verify that the pump power switch is turned "OFF." Connect 

the red alligator clip to the positive battery terminal. Connect 
the black alligator clip to a good ground.

4. Disconnect the cooler lines at the transaxle.

NOTE: When flushing the transaxle cooler and lines, always 
reverse flush.

5. Connect the pressure line to the OUTLET line (from cooler).
6. Connect the return line to the INLET line (to cooler).
7. Turn the pump "ON" for two to three minutes to flush the 

cooler(s) and lines. Monitor the pressure readings. Clear the 
return lines. Pressure readings should stabilize below 138 
kPa (20 psi) for vehicles equipped with a single cooler and 
208 kPa (30 psi) for vehicles equipped with dual coolers. If 
flow is intermittent or exceeds these pressures, replace the 
cooler(s).

8. Turn the pump "OFF."
9. Disconnect the suction line from the reservoir at the cover 

plate. Disconnect the return line at the cover plate and place 
it in a drain pan.

10.Turn the pump "ON" for 30 seconds to purge flushing 

solution from the cooler(s) and lines. Turn the pump "OFF."

11.Place the suction line into a one quart container of DIA 

QUEEN CVTF-J1 transmission fluid.

12.Turn the pump "ON" until all transmission fluid is removed 

from the one quart container and lines. This purges any 
residual cleaning solvent from the transaxle cooler(s) and 
lines. Turn the pump "OFF."

13.Disconnect the alligator clips from the battery. Reconnect 

the flusher lines to the cover plate, and remove the flushing 
adapters from the cooler lines. Reconnect the cooler lines.

OIL COOLER FLOW CHECK

M1231212800010

After the new or repaired transaxle has been installed, fill to the 
proper level with DIA QUEEN CVTF-J1. The flow should be 
checked using the following procedure:

CAUTION

With the fluid set at the proper level, transmission fluid 
collection should not exceed one quart or internal damage 
to the transaxle may occur.
1. Disconnect the OUTLET line (from cooler) at the transaxle 

and place a collecting container under the disconnected line.

2. Run the engine at curb idle speed with the shift selector in 

neutral.

3. If transmission fluid flow is intermittent or it takes more than 

20 seconds to collect one quart of transmission fluid, replace 
the cooler.

4. If flow is within acceptable limits, reconnect the cooler line. 

Then fill the transaxle to the proper level, using DIA QUEEN 
CVTF-J1.

hole in the transmission range switch body flange (section A 
− A).
NOTE: Insert a 

φ

5 bar into the aligned holes in the transmis-

sion range switch body flange and on the tip of the manual 
control lever to position the transmission range switch body. 

5. Use the adjusting nut to tighten the transaxle control cable to 

the specified torque.

Tightening torque: 9.5 

± 3.5 Nm (84 ± 30 in-lb)

6. Make sure that the selector lever is in the N range.
7. Make sure that the transaxle-side ranges that are 

corresponding to the transmission range operate and 
function without fail.
