Cold Level
The vehicle must not have been driven so that the
temperature reaches around 20C (68F) before the
cold level check is made.
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Apply the parking brake firmly.
3. Start the engine and allow it to warm up.
The engine coolant temperature gauge needle
should be midway between the “C” mark and “H”
mark.
4. Let the engine run at idle.
Move the select lever slowly through all the gea
r
ranges.
Stop in each range just long enough for the
transmission to engage.
5. Return the select lever either “P” or “N”.
6. Remove the ATF level dipstick.
7. Wipe the dipstick clean with a paper towel.
8. Reinsert the dipstick and wait several seconds.
9. Remove the dipstick.
The ATF level should be inside the “C”range on the
dipstick.
If the ATF level is below the “C” range, ATF must be
added.
242R300002
ATF CHANGE
1. Start the engine and allow it to idle until the ATF
reaches a temperature of 40-50C
2. Park the vehicle on level ground and block the
wheels.
3. Stop the engine.
4. Raise vehicle and support with suitable safety
stands.
5. Remove the drain plug from the oil pan and drain the
ATF (approximately 6 liters).
6. Remove the oil pan.
7. Inspect the oil pan (details written below).
8. Install the oil pan.
Note:
Use new gasket. Clean the oil pan and magnet.
Oil pan bolt torque : 8 Nm (69 lbin)
9. Replace the gasket and install the drain plug.
Drain plug torque : 35 Nm (26 lbft)
Note:
Do not reuse old washer (gasket).
Clean the drain plug (especially the threaded section).
10. Pour about 5 liters of new ATF. Then, add more ATF
carefully as necessary using the dipstick.
Refer to “ATF LEVEL” previously in this section.
Note:
Keep the engine idle (do not stop it) during the oil level
adjustment.
11. Remove the safety stands and wheel blocks. Inspect
1. Check the drain plug tip for adhesion of foreign
substances.
2. Check the drained ATF for color, smell and inclusion
of foreign substances.
3. Check the oil pan bottom and magnet for adhesion o
f
foreign substances.
If a problem is discovered during those checks, the
Automatic transmission must be overhauled.
Note:
The torque converter and the oil strainer need replaced
with new ones if the drained ATF contains large
amounts of metallic or facing flakes.
In addition, flush the ATF cooler circuit

INHIBITOR SWITCH
The inhibitor switch is attached to the right side of the
transmission.
Inspect
1. Block the wheels.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Disconnect the harness connectors.
4. Use a ohmmeter to check the inhibitor switch
continuity between the following terminals as shown
in figure.
5. Place the select lever in the “N” range.
249R300001
6. Move the select lever to either side.
Check the inhibitor switch continuity between the
terminals shown in Step (4).
The continuity readings should remain fairly steady
as the select lever is moved.
If there is no continuity or the continuity is
intermittent, the inhibitor switch must be adjusted.
Adjust
1. Disconnect the shift calbe from the lever.
2. Loosen the inhibitor switch bolts.
3. Use the inhibitor switch set plate to align the neutral
holes (manual shaft and inhibitor switch).
Turn the inhibitor switch to adjust it.
Inibitor switch set plate: 5-8840-2763-0
Note:
Inhibitor switch adjustment is very important.
If the inibitor switch is not correctly adjusted, the
automatic transmission will not function normally.
4. Tighten the 2 inhibitor switch bolts to the specified
touque.
Torque: 5.5 N·m (48 lb·in)
47INH-SW01
5. Connect the shift cable to the lever.
6. Connect the harness connector.
Remove or Disconnect
1. Remove the cable bracket (1) from the transmission.
2. Disconnect the shift cable (2) from the lever (3).
3. Disconnect the harness connectors.
4. Remove the inhibitor switch bolts.
5. Remove the inhibitor switch (4) from the
transmission.

pressure switch to check the oil pressure switch
continuity between the connector and screw.
Oil temperature sensor (harness assembly)
Check the oil temperature sensor resistance between
harness terminals 7 and 6 (ground).
Oil temperature sensor resistance:
2,400~2,600 ohms (20
C)
