Removing Transmission Fluid
NOTE: To get an accurate transmission fluid level reading the engine should be idling (600-750 rpm) in PARK.
1. If the transmission is overfilled, transmission fluid must be removed to the correct level. Use the special tools to extract any excessive transmission
fluid.
2. Using the scan tool, verify that the transmission fluid temperature is between 80° C-85° C (175° F-185° F). The transmission fluid level must be at
the upper level of the crosshatch mark. Reinstall the transmission fluid level indicator only back into the transmission fluid fill plug hole to check
the transmission fluid level. Repeat this until a consistent reading is established.
3. Install the transmission fluid fill plug.
