ON-VEHICLE MAINTENANCE
A/T FLUID
Checking the A/T Fluid (ATF)INFOID:0000000004917424
CAUTION:
If using the vehicle for towing, the A/T fluid must be replaced as specified. Refer to MA-8, "
Introduc-
tion of Periodic Maintenance".
1. Before driving, the A/T fluid level can be checked at A/T fluid temperatures of 30 ° to 50° C (86° to 122° F) using the “COLD”
range on the A/T fluid level gauge as follows:
a. Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking brake.
b. Start the engine and move the shift selector through each gear position. Move the shift selector into the “P” position.
c. Check the A/T fluid level with the engine idling.
d. Remove the A/T fluid level gauge and wipe it clean with a lint- free paper.
CAUTION:
When wiping the A/T fluid from the A/ T fluid level gauge,
always use a lint-free paper, not a cloth.
e. Re-insert the A/T fluid level gauge into the A/T fluid charging pipe until the cap contacts the t op of the A/T fluid charging pipe
as shown.
CAUTION:
To check A/T fluid level, insert th e A/T fluid level gauge until
the cap contacts the top of the A/T fluid charging pipe, with
the gauge reversed from th e normal inserted position.
f. Remove the A/T fluid level gauge and note the A/T fluid level. If the A/T fluid level is at low si de of range, add A/T fluid to the
transmission through the A/T fluid charging pipe.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill the transmission with A/T fluid.
g. Install the A/T fluid level gauge and the A/T fluid level gauge bolt.
2. Warm up the engine and transmission.
3. Check for any A/T fluid leaks.
4. Drive the vehicle to increase the A/T fluid temperature to 80 ° C (176 ° F).

Fluid Leakage and Fluid Level Check
• Inspect for fluid leakage and check the fluid level. Refer to TM-178, "Checking the A/T Fluid (ATF)".
Fluid Condition Check
Inspect the fluid condition.
STALL TEST
Stall Test Procedure
1. Inspect the amount of engine oil. Replenish the engine oil if necessary.
2. Drive for about 10 minutes to warm up the vehicle so that the A/
T fluid temperature is 50 to 80 °C (122 to 176 °F). Inspect the
amount of ATF. Replenish if necessary.
3. Securely engage the parking brake so that the tires do not turn.

Line Pressure Test Procedure
1. Inspect the amount of engine oil and replenish if necessary.
2. Drive the car for about 10 minutes to warm it up so that the ATF reaches in range of 50 to 80 °C (122 to
176° F), then inspect the amount of ATF and replenish if necessary.
NOTE:
The automatic fluid temperature rises in range of 50 to 80 °C (122 to 176° F) during 10 minutes of
driving.
3. After warming up remove the oil pressure detection plug and install the Tool.
CAUTION:
When using the oil pressure ga uge, be sure to use the O-
ring attached to the oil pressure detection plug.
4. Securely engage the parking brake so that the tires do not turn.
