30. CAUTION: Observe the engine temperature warning light. If the
warning light is displayed, switch off immediately and allow to cool.
Failure to follow this instruction may cause damage to the vehicle.
Raise the engine speed to 2000 RPM and maintain at 2000 RPM until the
engine cooling fan operates.
31. CAUTION: Switch off the engine and allow the coolant temperature
to go cold.
Switch the engine off and allow to cool.
32. Visually check the engine and cooling system for signs of coolant
leakage.
33. WARNINGS:
When releasing the cooling system pressure, cover the coolant
expansion tank cap with a thick cloth.
Since injury such as scalding could be caused by escaping steam or
coolant, make sure the vehicle cooling system is cool prior to carrying
out this procedure.
CAUTIONS:
Make sure the coolant level remains above the "COLD FILL RANGE"
lower level mark.
Anti-freeze concentration must be maintained at 50%.
NOTE: When the cooling system is warm, the coolant will be
approximately 10mm above the upper level mark on the expansion tank
with the cap removed.
Check and top-up the coolant if required.
34. Refer to: Transmission Fluid Level Check (307-01B Automatic Transmission/Transaxle - TDV6 3.0L Diesel /V8 5.0L Petrol/V8 S/C 5.0L
Petrol, General Procedures).

Transmission/Transaxle Cooling - TDV6 3.0L Diesel /V8 5.0L Petrol/V8 S/C 5.0L Petrol - Transmission Cooling - Overview
Description and Operation
OVERVIEW
Transmission cooling is provided by a transmission fluid cooler, which transfers heat from the transmission to the engine
cooling system. The transmission fluid cooler is attached to a mounting bracket on the front subframe, in the front left corner
of the engine compartment.
Two hose and pipe assemblies connect the transmission fluid cooler to the automatic transmission. Two engine coolant hose
connections are incorporated into the top of the transmission fluid cooler for the supply and return of coolant from the engine
cooling system. For additional information, refer to 303-03D Engine Cooling.

Description and Operation
System Operation
Fluid from the pump in the automatic transmission flows through the feed hose and pipe to the transmission fluid cooler. The
fluid then flows through the transmission fluid cooler, and the return hose and pipe, to the sump of the automatic
transmission.
