Checking the Fluid Level

Prepare your vehicle as follows:

Park your vehicle on a level place. Keep the

engine running.

With the parking brake applied, place the shift lever

in PARK (P).

With your foot on the brake pedal, run the engine for

at least once minute and shift to DRIVE (D). Then

shift to NEUTRAL (N) and then REVERSE (R) to

fill the hydraulic system. Then, position the shift

lever in PARK (P).

Allow the engine to run at idle (500

- 800 rpm).

Slowly release the brake pedal.

Then, without shutting off the engine, follow these steps:

Cold Check Procedure

The purpose of the cold check is to determine if the

transmission has enough fluid to be operated safely until

a hot check can be made. The fluid level rises as fluid

temperature increases. DO NOT fill above the COLD

CHECK band if the transmission fluid is below normal

operating temperatures.

1. Pull out the dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag or

paper towel.

2. Push it back in all the way, wait three seconds and

then pull it back out again.

3. Check the fluid level reading. Repeat the check

procedure to verify the reading.

4. If the fluid level is within the COLD CHECK band,

the transmission may be operated until the fluid is

hot enough to perform a hot check. If the fluid level

is not within the COLD CHECK band, add or drain

fluid as necessary to bring the level into the middle

of the COLD CHECK band.

5. Perform a hot check at the first opportunity after the

normal operating temperature of 160 F (71 C) to

200 F (93 C) is reached.

6. If the fluid level is in the acceptable range, push the

dipstick back in all the way.
