AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID LEVEL
This TSB supersedes TSB # 03-40-019 to add new model information
DESCRIPTION:
The automatic transaxle fluid (ATF) level must be checked during Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI). Low ATF level may cause the following driveability conditions:
^ Engine "flare" during the 2-3 shift (engine speed increases during the shift) at light throttle when the ATF is cold
^ Harsh or delayed shift during acceleration from a stop following a rapid deceleration
PROCEDURE:
1. Attach a Hi-Scan Pro or GDS and select "Automatic Transaxle" menu, "Current Data" menu and "Fluid Temperature".
2. Drive the vehicle until the ATF is at normal operating temperature above 75°C (167°F).
3. Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking brake. Start the engine and move the shift lever through each gear, then to "Neutral".
4. Check the ATF level on the dipstick. Add Hyundai SPIII until the level is within the "HOT" or "75C" range.
NOTE:
The 2008 Veracruz requires JWS 3309, Type T-IV ATF. Do not use SPIII.
NOTE:
The "COLD" range is only used for estimating ATF level. The ATF level can be accurately checked only if the ATF temperature is at normal operating temperature above 75°C (167°F).
NOTE:
Use only Hyundai SPIII ATF, Diamond SPIII ATF or other brands meeting the SPIII specification approved by Hyundai Motor Company.
NOTE:
SPIII has a red color when new; however, the ATF may change color to a dark red or brown after 10,000 to 25,000 miles in service. This change is normal for this type of ATF and does not indicate an internal transaxle condition.
MAINTENANCE INTERVAL:
Refer to the maintenance schedule in the owner's manuals for maintenance requirements.
