(a) When adding maximum amount of fluid: [*1]
(1) Lift up the vehicle while keeping it level.
(2) Remove the refill plug and overflow plug.
(3) Add ATF through the refill hole until it drains out from
the overflow hole.
NOTICE:
Be sure to add Toyota genuine ATF WS.

(11) Switch to the fluid temperature detection mode.
Move the shift lever from the N to the D position, or
from D to N, within 1.5 seconds. (Repeat this opera-
tion for 6 seconds or more.)
OK: The A/T OIL TEMP warning light comes on for 2
seconds and then goes off.
(12) Disconnect terminals TC and CG after confirming
the above condition.
(13) Idle the engine to raise the fluid temperature.
(14) Lift up the vehicle immediately after the meter indi-
cator light (ATF temperature warning light) comes
on.
NOTICE:
Add fluid only when the meter indicator light is on.
Perform this procedure while the engine is idling.
(15) Remove the overflow plug. If ATF overflows, pro-
ceed to [*2].
If ATF does not overflow, proceed to [*3].
HINT:
ºOverflowº indicates the condition under which ATF drains out
from the overflow tube.
NOTICE:
Capacity of the overflow tube is approximately 3 cc.

(b) When fluid overflows: [*2]
(1) Install the overflow plug with a new gasket when the
draining ATF has become a trickle.
Torque: 20 NVm (204 kgfVcm, 15 ftVlbf)

(5) Check for fluid leaks in the transmission.
If there are leaks, it is necessary to repair or replace O±rings,
FIPGs, oil seals, plugs or other related parts.
(c) When fluid does not overflow:
[*3]
(1) Remove the refill plug.
(2) Add ATF through the refill hole until it drains out from
