A/T Fluid Condition Check


A/T FLUID CHECK
Fluid leakage and fluid level check

NOTE: Use only A/T fluid level gauge: Parts No.31086 AR211

- Inspect for fluid leakage and check the fluid level.
Inspect the amount of A/T fluid under the hot conditions 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F) according to the instructions below.
1. After engine warm up is complete, drive around the city for about 10 minutes. The automatic fluid temperature rises to 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F) during 10 minutes of driving.
2. Place the vehicle on a level location.
3. Brake securely with the parking brake.
4. Put the engine in idle and while pressing the brake pedal, shift the selector lever from "P" to "D" position.
5. Check that when the selector lever is in the "P" or "N" position, then the amount of transmission fluid is in the position of the oil level gauge (hot side).

CAUTION:
- If it is necessary to check the amount of A/T fluid with the A/T fluid at low temperature 30 to 50°C (86 to 122°F), after adjusting within the Cold level of the level gauge, then always check the amount of A/T fluid under the above hot condition.
- When wiping away the oil level gauge, always use a paper rag, not a cloth one.
- Always secure the oil level gauge in the charging pipe with the stopper.
