Section
4
The fluid temperature ranges
required for a cold check or a
hot check are listed, following,
under the cold check and hot
check procedures.
If the displayed temperature
reading is not within either of
the required ranges, allow the
vehicle to cool to the cold
check procedure range, or
operate the vehicle until the
transmission temperature
reading reaches the hot check
procedure range.
5. Proceed with the appropriate
fluid check procedure.
Cold Check Procedure
Perform this fluid check procedure
when the transmission tempera-
ture is in the range of 27-32°C.
Perform a cold check only to deter-
mine whether the transmission has
enough fluid to be operated safely
until a hot check can be made.
The hot check procedure is the
most accurate method to check
the fluid level.
After a cold check, perform a hot
check at the first opportunity,
once the fluid reaches normal
operating temperature.
1. Prepare your vehicle as
previously described under
"Checking the Fluid Level".
2. Locate the transmission fluid
dipstick.
See "Engine Compartment"
earlier in this section to
determine the location.
3. With the engine running at
idle speed, lift the handle and
remove the dipstick. Wipe
it clean and reinsert it by
pushing it down all the way.
