AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (4L30-E) 7A-155
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
CHECKING TRANSMISSION FLUID
LEVEL
1. Park the vehicle on level ground.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Place the automatic transmission in "Park" and
start the engine.
Allow the engine to idle for
two minutes.
4. With the brakes applied, move the shifter lever
through all the gear ranges, ending in "Park".
5. Remove the dipstick, Carefully touch the
dipstick with your finger to determine the
temperature of the fluid. (Fig. 7A-14)
• If the fluid is cool or warm (approximately
room temperature) or slightly higher (but
not too hot to touch), the fluid level should
be within the "Cold" range.
• If the fluid is hot, the fluid level should be
(A; within the "Hot" range.
6.
Cold Hot
Fig. 7A-14
• If the vehicle has just been driven for a long
period of time at highway speeds or in city
traffic in hot weather, wait 30 minutes for
the fluid to cool down before checking fluid
level.
If fluid level is low, add enough DEXRON®-m
Automatic transmission fluid to bring trans
mission
to its proper fluid level through the
transmission oil filler tube.
NOTE:
The automatic transmission fluid level must be
checked
with the vehicle at normal AfT oil
operating temperature: 75 TO 85°C (167 TO
185°F)
measured with TECH1 scan tool.
Overfilling or underfilling could result in
damage
to the transmission.
• If fluid level is low, inspect the area around
the oil pan for leakage.
•
If the fluid smells burnt or is black, replace
it.
CHANGING TRANSMISSION FLUID
There is no need to change the transmission fluid
unless the transmission is used under one or more
of the following heavy duty conditions.
A: Repeated
short trips
B: Driving on rough roads
C: Driving on dusty roads
D: Towing a trailer
If the vehicle is used under these conditions,
change the fluid every 20,000 miles (32,000 km.)
There is
no drain plug in the oil pan. Oil should be
extracted
with suitable suction device through the
filler tube. Alternately the fluid can be drained by
carefully removing the oil pan. Place a large drain
pan
under the oil pan, remove 13 bolts on the right,
left and front sides of the oil pan and loosen 3 bolts
on the rear side.
Drain
the fluid carefully.
Hold
the pan horizontally, remove the remaining 3
bolts and remove pan and gasket. Clean the oil pan
and
reinstall it . with a new gasket. It is also
recommended to replace the fixing bolts. Tighten
16 fixing bolts to 11 N·m (8 lb·ft.) torque.
MANUAL LINKAGE
~ INSPECTION
1. Make sure that when the shifter control lever is
shifted
from "P" to "L", a "clicking" can be felt
at each shift position. Make sure that the gear
corresponds
to that of the position plate
indicator.
2. Check to see if the shifter lever can be shifted
as
shown in Fig. 7A-15. jQ
~ Button must be pressed.
~ Button need not be pressed.

Adjustment of select lever and control rod (Fig.
7A-16c)
(1) Set sele1ct lever in the "N" position.
(2) Push select lever forward and secure it (using a
rubber band, etc.) so that pin comes into

Adjustment of shift lock cable (Fig. 7A-16d)
(1) Set IGN key in "LOCK" position and selector
lever
in "P" position.
(2)
Adjust cable screw cap on selector lever side to
provide a gap (slack for cable) of 2.0 ± O.Smm
between rod on steering lock side and stopper.
Adjust cap as follows:
CD Hand turn nut (A) until it comes in contact
with bracket while pulling screw cap in
® Then turn nut (A) 2 reverse turns (2 mm) to
give slack to inner cable.
@ Lock inner cable by turning nut (8) while
holding nut (A) in place.

(3) Make sure of proper operation of shift lock
through checks as follows:
CD Selector lever shall not be moved out of "P"
position with IGN key in "Lock" position.
® Selector lever can be moved out of "P"
position with IGN key in "ON" position only
when brake pedal is depressed.
@ IGN key can be turned to "LOCK" position
only when selector lever is in "P" position
(key can be
pulled out).
If CD and @ fail, readjust cable. If ® fails, readjust
connector
wiring and brake pedal switch.
