A/T FLUID

A/T FLUIDPFP:KLE40
Checking A/T FluidBCS000ZL
1. Warm up engine.
2. Check for A/T fluid leakage.
3. Before driving, A/T fluid level can be checked A/T at fluid tem-
peratures of 30 to 50°C (86 to 122°F) using “COLD” range on A/
T fluid level gauge.
a. Park vehicle on level surface and set parking brake.
b. Start engine and move selector lever through each gear posi-
tion. Leave selector lever in “P” position.
c. Check A/T fluid level with engine idling.
d. Remove A/T fluid level gauge and wipe clean with lint-free
paper.
CAUTION:
When wiping away the A/T fluid level gauge, always use
lint-free paper, not a cloth one.
e. Re-insert A/T fluid level gauge into A/T fluid charging pipe as far
as it will go.
CAUTION:
Firmly fix the A/T fluid level gauge to the A/T fluid charging
pipe using a stopper attached.
f. Remove A/T fluid level gauge and note reading. If reading is at
low side of range, add ATF to the A/T fluid charging pipe.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill.
4. Drive vehicle for approximately 5 minutes in urban areas.
5. Recheck A/T fluid level at A/T fluid temperatures of 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F) using “HOT” range on A/T
fluid level gauge.
CAUTION:

When wiping away the A/T fluid level gauge, always use lint-free paper, not cloth one.

Firmly fix the A/T fluid level gauge to the A/T fluid charging pipe using a stopper attached.

Inspections Before Trouble DiagnosisBCS00102
A/T FLUID CHECK
Fluid Leakage and Fluid Level Check
Inspect for A/T fluid leakage and check the A/T fluid level. Refer to AT- 1 4 , "Checking A/T Fluid" .
A/T Fluid Condition Check
Inspect the A/T fluid condition.
STALL TEST
Stall Test Procedure
1. Check ATF and engine oil levels. If necessary, add ATF and oil.
2. Drive vehicle for approximately 10 minutes or until ATF and
engine oil reach operating temperature.
3. Set parking brake and block wheels.
4. Install a tachometer where it can be seen by driver during test.

It is good practice to mark the point of specified engine
rpm on indicator.
5. Start engine, apply foot brake, and place selector lever in “D”
position.

LINE PRESSURE TEST
Line Pressure Test Ports
Location of line pressure test ports are shown in the figure.

Always replace pressure plugs as they are self-sealing
bolts.
Line Pressure Test Procedure
1. Check ATF and engine oil levels. If necessary, add ATF or
engine oil.
2. Drive vehicle for approx. 10 minutes or until engine oil and ATF
reach operating temperature.
3. Install oil pressure gauge to corresponding line pressure test
port.
4. Set parking brake and block wheels.

Is there large shock when changing from
“N” to “R” position?
YES >>
Mark the box AT- 1 7 7 , "Large Shock. “N” → “R” Position" on the AT- 3 8 , "DIAGNOSTIC WORK-
SHEET" .

Continue “Road Test”.
NO >> GO TO 6.
6. CHECK VEHICLE MOVE

7. CHECK VEHICLE MOVE
Move selector lever to “D”, “3”, “2” and “1” positions and check if vehicle creeps forward.
Does vehicle creep forward in all four positions?
YES >> Go to AT- 5 0 , "Cruise Test — Part 1" .
NO >>

Mark the box AT- 1 8 1 , "Vehicle Does Not Creep Forward in “D”, “3”, “2” or “1” Position" on the
