Cold Level
The vehicle must not have been driven so that the
temperature reaches around 20
C (68
F) 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.

ATF CHANGE
1. Start the engine and allow it to idle until the ATF
reaches a temperature of 40-50
C
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

Remove or Disconnect
1. Block the wheels.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Drain the fluid.
Refer to “ATF CHANGE” in this section.
4. Remove the 19 bolts and oil pan.
5. Inspect the bottom of the oil pan and strainer netting
for foreign material (clutch facing and metal
shavings).
If there is an excessive accumulation of foreign
material, the oil strainer must be replaced.
Further inspection is required to determine the
source of the foreign material.
6. Remove the harness assembly (including oil
temperature sensor).
7. Remove the 11 bolts and the solenoid fixing plate.
8. Remove the 6 solenoids and 3 oil pressure switchs.

Inspect
Oil pressure switch
Apply compressed air (392 kPa/4.0 kg/cm2) to the oil
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)
244L300011

Solenoid
Measure the resistance of each solenoid.
Resistance:
Brown connector – 3.0~3.4 ohms (20




C)
Gray connector – 12.0~13.2 ohms (20




C)
White connector – 12.2~13.4 ohms (20




C)
Install or connect
1. Install the O-rings to each of the solenoids.
2. Install the 6 solenoids and 3 oil pressure switchs.
Line pressure solenoid bolt torque:
8 N·m (69 lb·in)
Oil pressure switch bolt torque:
4.4 N·m (39 lb·in)
3. Install the solenoid fixing plate together with the
harness brackets.

Remove or Disconnect
1. Block the wheels.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Drain the fluid.
Refer to “ATF CHANGE” in this section.
4. Remove the 19 bolts and oil pan.
5. Inspect the bottom of the oil pan and strainer netting
for foreign material (clutch facing and metal

FLUSHING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER AND LINE
The fluid cooler and lines may be flushed under the
following condition. This will help prevent more trouble
after the transmission is repaired.
1. When the abnormal amount of debris are found.
2. When the abnormal wear or chips on gears and
shafts are found while overhauling.
3. When the abnormal clutch facing wear and oil
contamination are found.

Procedures
1. Block the wheels.
2. Disconnect negative battery cable.
3. Raise vehicle and support with suitable safety
stands.
4. Disconnect fluid cooler lines at transmission case
and fluid cooler.
5. Flush and back-flush the fluid cooler and lines using
solvent and compressed air.
Note:
DO NOT exceed 197 kPa (29 psi) air pressure or
damage may result to oil cooler.

6. Remove all remaining solvent from the system with
compressed air.
7. Flush the cooling system again with Automatic
Transmission Fluid (ATF).
After the final flush, connect all lines.
Cooler line joint connector torque :
44 N·m (33 lb·ft)
8. Replenish ATF
9. Start engine to test the system for the free flow o
f
fluid. If the flow is restricted, the cooler assembly o
r
lines must be replaced.
Repeated cleaning and flushing may not remove all
debris from the fluid cooler circuit.
Move the select lever through the various ranges and
return to neutral.
Check for fluid level.
If the fluid level is below the specified range, ATF
must be added.
10. Connect negative battery cable.
11. Remove safety stands.
12. Remove wheel blocks.
