AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE
!ATF Level Inspection
Caution
• The ATF amount varies according to ATF’s
temperature. Therefore, when checking the
ATF level or replacing the ATF, use a
thermometer to measure the temperature
then adjust the ATF amount to the
specified level according to the specified
temperature.
1. Park the vehicle on level ground.
2. Apply the parking brake and position wheel
chocks securely to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
3. Adjust the length or thermistor probe to measure
the same depth as the depth gauge and hold the
probe with a paper holder. Insert into the filler tube
and measure the temperature.
• If necessary, inspect the ATF before warming
up the engine. In this case, use the cool range
(15—25°C {59—77 °F}).
AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID (ATF)
REPLACEMENT
Warning
• When the transaxle and ATF are hot, they
can badly burn you. Turn off the engine
and wait until they are cool before
replacing the ATF.
1. Remove the dipstick.
2. Remove the drain plug and washer.
3. Drain the ATF into a container.
4. Install a new washer and the drain plug.
Tightening torque
30—41 N-m {3.0—4.2 kgfm, 22—30 inlbf}
5. Add the specified ATF until ATF level reaches
lower notch of dipstick type of ATF through the oil
filler tube.
4. Warm up the engine until the ATF reaches
60—70°C {140—158°F}.
5. Shift the selector lever and pause momentarily in
each range (D-L) while depressing the brake
pedal.
6. Shift the selector lever to P position.
7. Verify that the ATF level is in the HOT range
(65°C{149°F}) while the engine is idling.
• If necessary, add ATF to the specification.

HOLD SWITCH INSPECTION
Operating Inspection
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (engine OFF).
2. Verify that the HOLD indicator light is not
illuminated. Depress the HOLD switch and verify
that the HOLD indicator light illuminates.
• If not as specified, inspect the terminal voltage
of the HOLD switch.

3. Measure the voltage at the HOLD switch
connector.
• If not as specified, inspect for continuity at the
HOLD switch.
