The transmission is now in Oil Level Sense
mode. The display will indicate one character at
a time. An “
o
” followed by “
L
” represents oil
level check mode. One of the following will be
indicated:
“
o K
” represents the level is okay.
“
Lo
” represents a low fl uid level
followed by a numeric indication of the
number of quarts needed fi ll the sump.
“
HI
” represents an overfull condition
followed by a numeric indication of the
number of quarts the sump is overfull.
A countdown of fl ashing numbers
indicates the fl uid is still settling. When
the fl uid has stabilized in the sump, the
true level will indicate.
If an “
o
” “
L
” “
-
” followed by a number
displays, the oil level sensor could not
read the level due to one of conditions
listed in the “Common Oil Level Fault
Codes” chart.
Exit by pressing
“

Cold Check - Manual Check Procedures:
The concept of a cold check is to determine
adequate fl uid level for safe operating, such
as after a fl uid and fi lter change. A cold
check should be performed after transmission
maintenance or service until a hot fl uid level
check or fl uid level check from the shift selector
can be performed.
To Check the Fluid When Cold:
Park the motorhome on a level surface.
Set the parking brake.
Chock the wheels to prevent the
motorhome from moving.
Start the engine.
Allow the engine to run at idle (500 to
800 RPM) for one minute.
Apply the service brakes and shift to
D
(Drive)
, then to
N (Neutral)
and next to
R (Reverse)
to fi ll the system. Shift the
transmission to
N (Neutral)
and release
the service brakes. Allow the engine to
idle at 500 to 800 RPM.
Remove the dipstick and wipe clean.
Reinsert the dipstick fully into the tube,
then remove to check fl uid level. Repeat
to verify reading, if needed.
Safe operating level is anywhere within
the Cold Check band on the dipstick.
This allows safe operation of the
transmission until a Hot Check or fl uid
level check from the shift selector can be
performed.
If the level is not within this band, add
or drain the fl uid as necessary to put the
level to the middle of the Cold Check
band.
Perform a fl uid level check from the
shift selector or a Hot Check at the fi rst
opportunity when normal operating
temperatures are reached.
CAUTION:
Low or high fluid level can cause
overheating and irregular shift patterns.
These conditions can damage the
transmission if not corrected.
Fluid Levels - Hot Check
Fluid level rises as temperature increases.
Fluid must be hot to ensure an accurate check.
Be sure fl uid has reached normal operating
temperature. If a transmission temperature
gauge is not present, check the fl uid level
when the engine water temperature gauge has
stabilized and the motorhome has been driven
for at least one hour.
Park the motorhome on a level surface
and shift to
N (Neutral)
. Apply the
parking brake and allow the engine to
idle (500 to 800 RPM).
After wiping the dipstick clean, check
the fl uid level. Safe operating level is
anywhere within the Hot Run band on
the dipstick.
The width of the Hot Run band is
approximately one quart of fl uid at
normal temperature range.
If the level is not within this band, add
or drain the fl uid as necessary to put the
level within the Hot Run band.
Ensure that fl uid level checks are
consistent. Check the level more than
once. If readings are not consistent,
ensure the transmission breather is clean
and not clogged. If readings are still not
consistent, contact the nearest Allison
Service Center.
