Adjustment
Hydraulic system
Following parts is the detailed description for self-detection procedure pointed to the condition occurred in chapter
6. including the condition indicated the failure, to point the problem existed in the hydraulic system.
It should select the proper procedure from the following primary detection when adjust the transmission.
Detection process of transmission fluid
Detect the manual linkage adjusting system(refer to factory manual of car)
Detect the engine idle speed
Anchoring test (beyond the scope of the maintenance manual)
On-road test (beyond the scope of the maintenance manual)
Detection procedure of transmission fluid level
1. General

The process is used to detect the level of vehicle transmission fluid. It will cause the failure or delay of transmission shifting if
the level is low than required value and the vehicle does not reach the drive temperature.
Firstly, process the transmission diagnosis information detection for vehicle (refer to chapter 6). If found the failure of sensor,
then it maybe caused by transmission fluid level is less than specified value.
It should detect whether has the abnormal delay and Gear-position condition when select the forward or reverse-gear by driving
the vehicle. One feature of oil level less than normal value is that the vehicle has the gear-position delay and lack condition when
the vehicle is in steering. The previous problem will occur when the transmission fluid temperature is low.
When the oil temperature is medium and vehicle speed failure is recorded, the gear-position lose condition
will not occurs any longer, it means that needs to fill the transmission with the transmission fluid.
2. Detection of transmission fluid level

When fill up or replace the transmission fluid, it must use the Castrol TQ95 automatic transmission fluid (ATF) or other
permissive oil. It will damage the performance and service life of transmission if use the unpermissive transmission fluid.
Please ensure the transmission fluid level is correct. The transmission also can be damaged if the transmission fluid level is
incorrect.
The setting procedure of transmission fluid level is shown as follows:
Caution:
When the transmission is in operating temperature, the hot transmission fluid may flow out form the
housing if remove the filling plug.
a. If the vehicle is in operating temperature, allow two hours time for cooling before add the transmission fluid, but
it must not more than 4 hours (this will make the transmission locate in the correct temperature range). When the
temperature is overheating, the transmission fluid level will higher than the plug port. Removal of plug will cause
the transmission fluid flows out from the oil filling port, then cause the low level of transmission fluid.
b. The gear-position of transmission is in parking-Gear (P-Gear), shut off the engine.
c. Lifting the vehicle (or parking above the trench).
d. Clean the around of plug when remove it. Then remove and clean the plug and check the O-ring for damage. Install
the oil filling pump in the oil filling hole.
e. Lower the vehicle; the oil filling pump will be connected to the vehicle at this time. Fill the transmission with the
oil partially. Then start the vehicle in P-Gear to rotate the engine in idle speed. Step down the foot brake, pull the
shifting lever in each gear-position in circulation and add the transmission fluid until the action of each gear-
position can be sensed.
f. Shut down the engine; lift the vehicle; ensure the vehicle is always in horizontal.
g. Remove the filling plug 3 minutes after the engine is shut off, but must not be no more than1 hour. At this time, the
correct level position should be in the bottom of oil filling hole. If does not reach the liquid level position, then fill
with few transmission fluid to make it reach the correct level.
h. Replace the transmission; clean the residual transmission fluid on the transmission and
vehicle.
i. Tighten the transmission plug to the specified torque of 30
35Nm.
