A/T fluid level will be greatly affected by temper ature as shown in figure. Therefore, be certain to
perform operation while checki ng data with CONSULT-III.
a. Connect CONSULT-III to data link connector.
b. Select “MAIN SIGNALS” in “DATA MONITOR” mode for “TRANSMISSION” with CONSULT-III.
c. Read out the value of “ATF TEMP 1”.
7. Recheck A/T fluid level at A/T fluid temperatures of approximately 65 °C (149 °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 a cloth one.
 To check A/T fluid level, inser t the A/T fluid level gauge
until the cap contacts the en d of the A/T fluid charging
pipe, with the A/T fluid level gauge reversed from the nor-
mal attachment conditions as shown.
8. Check A/T fluid condition.  If ATF is very dark or smells burned, check operation of A/T.
Flush cooling system after repair of A/T.
 If ATF contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.), replace radiator and flush cooler line using cleaning solvent
and compressed air after repair of A/T. Refer to CO-13
(for
VQ35DE) or CO-40
(for VK45DE) and AT-13, "A/T Fluid
Cooler Cleaning".
9. Install the removed A/T fluid level gauge in the A/T fluid charging pipe.
10. Tighten level gauge bolt.

3. Loosen the level gauge bolt.
4. Drain ATF from drain plug and refill with new ATF. Always refillsame volume with drained ATF.
 To replace the ATF, pour in new ATF at the A/T fluid charging
pipe with the engine idling, at the same time drain the old ATF
from the radiator cooler hose return side.
 When the color of the ATF coming out is almost same as the color of the new ATF, the replacement is complete. The
amount of new ATF to use should be 30 to 50% increase of
the stipulated amount.
CAUTION:
 Use only Genuine NISSAN Matic J ATF. Do not mix with other ATF.
 Using ATF other than Genuine NISSAN Matic J AT F will cause deterioration in driveability and A/
T durability, and may damage the A/T, which is not covered by the warranty.
 When filling ATF, take care not to scatter heat generating parts such as exhaust.
 Do not reuse drain plug gasket.
5. Run engine at idle speed for 5 minutes.
6. Check A/T fluid level and condition. Refer to MA-26, "
Checking A/T Fluid". If ATF is still dirty, repeat step
2. through 5.
7. Install the removed A/T fluid level gauge into A/T fluid charging pipe.
8. Tighten the level gauge bolt.
Checking Transfer FluidINFOID:0000000001328921
Check for fluid leakage and fluid level.
CAUTION:
Never start engine while checking fluid level.
Changing Transfer FluidINFOID:0000000001328922
CAUTION:
When draining fluid, protect exh aust tube flange with cover.
