Checking
NOTE:
Inspection of the fluid level should be carried out
when the fluid is at a high temperature after driving
and with the level gauge indicating “HOT”. The
“COLD” level is for reference purposes when the oil
temperature is low, and accurate measurement will
not be possible if the fluid temperature is low.
1. Park the vehicle on level ground. Prevent the
vehicle from moving by pulling the parking brake
lever and blocking the wheels with chocks.
2. Start the engine. With the engine idling and
brake pedal depressed, select each gear range
in turn, then put the range selector lever in the
“P” position.
3. Remove the level gauge that is located
behind the cab. If it is difficult to remove, tilt the
cab. On the Crew-cab models, open the inspec-
tion cover in the rear floor mat. Release the
lock , then open the hatch .
CAUTION
The inspection hatch may remain at high tem-
peratures for a certain period of time after the
engine has been stopped. Be careful not to be
burnt by the hatch or engine parts during
inspection.
NOTE:
In a Crew-cab model, the automatic transmission
fluid level gauge and engine oil level gauge
are close to each other. Be careful not to confuse
them.
4. Wipe the level gauge clean, reinsert it, then
slowly remove it again. Check the level of fluid
on the level gauge.
5. The fluid level should be in the “HOT” range.
6. If the fluid level is too low, add fluid via the level
gauge guide .
NOTE:
•
Always carry out fluid level checks with the
engine idling.
•
The fluid level rises as the fluid heats up.
CAUTION
•
Take care not to add more than the specified
quantity of fluid. The automatic transmission
