Transmission Fluid Level
1. Hot Fluid Level
2. Cold Fluid Level
• Check fluid level with the parking brake applied, the
engine running at idle speed, and the transmission in
Neutral. Consider the transmission fluid temperature when
determining the correct level.
• When the transmission fluid is cold, the fluid level should fall
within the COLD run band. When the transmission fluid is
hot, the fluid level should fall within the HOT run band. Add
fluid as required. DO NOT OVERFILL or the transmission
will overheat.
• Check the shift linkage for proper operation.
• Check operation of transmission neutral safety switch. Try
to start the vehicle in all shift selector positions. The starter
should ONLY operate when the shift selector is in Neutral,
or Park, if supplied.
• Refer to the LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
INTERVAL CHART and the LUBRICANT AND SEALER
SPECIFICATIONS chart at the end of this section for
information on automatic transmission fluids and fluid and
filter change intervals.
