Preliminary Check
11. CHECK FLUID LEVEL
HINT: The vehicle must have been driven so that the
engine and transmission are at normal operating tem-
perature. (fluid temperature: 158 ± 176
°F or 70 ±80°C)
(a) Park the vehicle on a level surface, set the parking
brake.
(b) With the engine idling, shift the shift lever into all posi-
tions from P to L position and return to P position.
HINT: Depress the brake pedal.
(a) Pull out the transaxle dipstick and wipe it clean.
(b) Push it back fully into the tube.
(c) Pull it out and check that the fluid level is in the HOT
range. If the level is at the low side of the hot range,
add fluid.
Fluid type: ATF DEXRON) II
NOTICE: Do not overfill.
2. CHECK FLUID CONDITION
If the fluid smells burnt or is black, replace it
3. REPLACE ATF
NOTICE: Do not overfill.
(a) Remove the drain plug and drain the fluid.
(b) Reinstall the drain plug securely.
(c) With the engine OFF, and new fluid through the dip
stick tube.
SST 09043±38100
Fluid: ATF DEXRON) II
Capacity:
Dry fill:
A140E 5.3 liters (5.6 US qts, 4.7 Imp. qts)
A140L 5.7 liters (6.0 U S qts, 5.0 Imp. qts)
Drain and refill (Reference):
140E, A140L 2.5 liters (2.6 US qts, 2.2 Imp. qts)
(d) Start the engine and shift the selector into all positions
from P through L and then shift into P.
(e) With the engine idling, check the fluid level. Add fluid
up to the ºCOOLº level on the dipstick.
(f) Check the fluid level with the normal fluid temperature
(158 ± 176
°F or 70 ± 80°C) and add as necessary.
NOTICE: Do not overfill.

Manual Shifting Test (A140E)
HINT: With this test, it can be determined whether the
trouble lies within the electrical circuit or is a mechani-
cal problem in the transaxle.
1. DISCONNECT ECT ECU CONNECTOR
(a) Remove the glove box.
(b) With the engine OFF, disconnect the ECT connector.
HINT: If the L, 2 and D range gear positions are difficult
to distinguish, perform the following road test.
wWhite driving, shift through the L, 2 and D ranges.
Check that the gear change corresponds to the shift
position.
3. CONNECT ECT ECU CONNECTOR2. INSPECT MANUAL DRIVING OPERATION
