MAINTENANCE SERVICE
FLUID LEVEL AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERA-
TURE
INSPECTION
1) Stop vehicle and place it level.
2) Apply parking brake and place chocks against wheels.
3) With selector at P position, start engine.
4) Warm up engine till fluid temperature reaches normal oper-
ating temperature (70 – 80°C/158 – 176°F). As a guide to
check fluid temperature, warm up engine to normal operat-
ing temperature.
5) Keep engine idling and shift selector slowly to L and back to
P position.
6) With engine idling, pull out dipstick, wipe it off with a clean
cloth and put it back into place.
7) Pull out dipstick (1) again and check fluid level indicated on
it. Fluid level should be between FULL HOT and LOW HOT.
If it is below LOW HOT, add an equivalent of DEXRON
®-III
or DEXRON
®-IIE up to FULL HOT.
A/T fluid specification
: An equivalent of DEXRON
®-III or DEXRON®-IIE
NOTE:
 DO NOT RACE ENGINE while checking fluid level, even
after the engine start.
 DO NOT OVERFILL. Overfilling can cause foaming and
loss of fluid through breather. Then slippage and
transmission failure can result.
 Bringing the level from LOW HOT to FULL HOT
requires 0.35 liters (0.74/0.62 US/Imp. pt).
 If vehicle was driven under high load such as pulling a
trailer, fluid level should be checked about half an hour
after it is stopped.

FLUID LEVEL AT ROOM TEMPERATURE
INSPECTION
The fluid level check at room temperature performed after repair
or fluid change before test driving is just preparation for level
check of normal operation temperature. The checking procedure
itself is the same as that described previously. If the fluid level is
between FULL COLD and LOW COLD, proceed to test drive. And
when the fluid temperature has reached the normal operating
temperature, check fluid again and adjust it as necessary.
FLUID CHANGE
1) Lift up vehicle.
2) When engine has cooled down, remove drain plug (1) from
oil pan and drain A/T fluid.
3) Install drain plug.

TURE.

INSPECTION
Check selector lever for smooth and clear cut movement and
position indicator for correct indication.
For operation of selector lever, refer to the figure.
TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR (SHIFT
SWITCH)
REMOVAL
1) Block wheels and turn select lever to “N” range.
2) Disconnect transmission range sensor coupler and select
cable.
3) Remove transmission range sensor from transmission case.
INSPECTION
1) Disconnect transmission range sensor coupler (2).
2) Check that continuity exists at terminals shown below by
moving selector lever.

INSTALLATION
1) Using flat tip screwdriver, turn transmission range sensor to
have the match marks (1) line up (transmission range sensor
“N” range).
2) Turn selector lever (1) to “N” range (to have the automatic
transmission to “N” range).
3) Install transmission range sensor (1) to transmission case.
Tightening torque

(a) : 18 N·m (1.8 kg-m, 13.0 lb-ft)
4) Move selector lever in cabin to each range and check the
continuity of each terminal of transmission range sensor
referring to “INSPECTION”.
5) Connect transmission range sensor coupler.
6) Check that the engine can only be started in “N” and “P”
range, but can not in “D”, “2”, “L” or “R” range. Also, check
that backup lamp come ON at “R” range.

SELECTOR CABLE
REMOVAL
1) Remove parking brake lever cover.
2) Remove console box.
3) Disconnect selector cable from selector lever and then
detach from bracket.
4) Remove clip and disconnect selector cable from transmis-
sion.
5) Remove selector housing from dash panel.
INSTALLATION
Install selector cable by reversing removal procedure.
The important steps in installation are as follows.
Apply grease to pin and cable joint.
Tighten bolts and nut in upper figure to specified torque.
