Changing Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF)ECS00EPX
1. Drive the vehicle to warm up the ATF to 80° C (176 ° F).
2. Stop the engine.
3. Remove the ATF level gauge bolt.
4. Drain the ATF from the drain plug hole and then install the drain plug with a new gasket. Refill the transmission with new ATF.
Always refill with the same volume as the drained ATF. Use the
ATF level gauge to check the ATF level as shown. Add ATF as
necessary.

To flush out the old ATF from the coolers, pour new ATF into the charging pipe with the engine idling
and at the same time drain the old ATF from the auxiliary transmission oil cooler hose return line.

When the color of the ATF coming out of the auxiliary transmission oil cooler hose return line is about
the same as the color of the new ATF, flushing out the old ATF is complete. The amount of new trans-
mission ATF used for flushing should be 30% to 50% of the specified capacity.
CAUTION:

Use only the specified ATF. Do not mix with other fluids.

Using an ATF other than the specified ATF will cause deterioration in driveability and automatic
transmission durability, and may damage the automatic transmission, which is not covered by
the warranty.

When filling the transmission with ATF, do not spill the ATF on any heat generating parts such
as the exhaust manifold.

Do not reuse the drain plug gasket.
5. Install the ATF level gauge in the ATF charging pipe and tighten the level gauge bolt to specification.
6. Drive the vehicle to warm up the ATF to 80 ° C (176 ° F).
7. Check the ATF level and condition. Refer to AT- 1 2 , "
Checking Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF)" . If the
ATF is still dirty, repeat steps 2 through 5.
Checking Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF)ECS00EPY
1. Remove the ATF level gauge bolt.
2. Before driving, the ATF level can be checked at ATF tempera- tures of 30 ° to 50 °C (86 ° to 122 °F) using the “COLD” range on
the ATF level gauge as follows:
a. Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking brake.
b. Start the engine and move the selector lever through each gear position. Shift the selector lever into the “P” position.
c. Check the ATF level with the engine idling.
d. Remove the ATF level gauge and wipe it clean with a lint-free paper.
CAUTION:
When wiping the ATF from the ATF level gauge, always use
a lint-free paper, not a cloth.Drain plug : Refer to

DTC P1721 VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR MTR
Revision: November 20092006 QX56
DTC P1721 VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR MTRPFP:24814
DescriptionECS00CGZ
The vehicle speed sensor·MTR signal is transmitted from combination meter to TCM by CAN communication
line. The signal functions as an auxiliary device to the revolution sensor when it is malfunctioning. The TCM
will then use the vehicle speed sensor ·MTR signal.
CONSULT-II Reference ValueECS00CH0
On Board Diagnosis LogicECS00CH1

This is not an OBD-II self-diagnostic item.

Diagnostic trouble code “P1721 VHE SPD SE ·MTR ” with CONSULT-II is detected when TCM does not
receive the proper vehicle speed sensor MTR signal (input by CAN communication) from combination
meter.
Possible CauseECS00CH2
Harness or connectors
(The sensor circuit is open or shorted.)
DTC Confirmation ProcedureECS00CH3
CAUTION:
Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.
NOTE:
If “DTC Confirmation Procedure” has been previously performed, always turn ignition switch “OFF”
and wait at least 10 seconds before performing the next test.
After the repair, perform the following procedure to confirm the malfunction is eliminated.
WITH CONSULT-II
1. Turn ignition switch “ ON”. (Do not start engine.)
2. Select “DATA MONITOR ” mode for “A/T” with CONSULT-II.
3. Start engine and maintain the following conditions for at least 5 consecutive seconds.
ACCELE POS: 1/8 or less
VHCL SPEED SE: 30 km/h (17 MPH) or more
4. If DTC is detected, go to AT- 1 3 3 , "
Diagnostic Procedure" .
Item name Condition Display value (km/h)
VHCL/S SE ·MTR During driving Approximately matches the speedometer reading.
