Fluid - A/T: Testing and Inspection
FLUID LEVEL AND CONDITION CHECK
NOTE: Only transmission fluid of the type labeled Mopar ATF +4 (Automatic Transmission Fluid-Type 9602) should be used in this transaxle.
FLUID LEVEL CHECK
The transmission sump has a fluid level indicator (dipstick) to check oil similar to most automatic transmissions. It is located on the left side of the
engine. Be sure to wipe all dirt from dipstick handle before removing.
The torque converter fills in both the P Park and N Neutral positions. Place the selector lever in P Park to be sure that the fluid level check is accurate.
The engine should be running at idle speed for at least one minute, with the vehicle on level ground. At normal operating temperature (approximately
82 C. or 180 F.), the fluid level is correct if it is in the HOT region (cross-hatched area) on the oil level indicator (Fig. 178). The fluid level should be
within the WARM range of the dipstick at 70° F fluid temperature.
FLUID LEVEL CHECK USING DRB
NOTE: Engine and Transaxle should be at normal operating temperature before performing this procedure.
1. Start engine and apply parking brake.
2. Hook up DRB scan tool and select transmission.
3. Select sensors.
4. Read the transmission temperature value.
