General Procedures Special Tool(s) | Rubber Tip Air Nozzle 100-D009 (D93L-7000-A) | | Adapter, Fluid Level and Fill Plug 307-437 | | Fluid Transporter/Evacuator/ Injector 307-D465 | | Vacuum Pump Kit 416-D002 (D95L-7559-A) | | Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS) Vehicle Communication Module (VCM), with appropriate adapters or equivalent diagnostic tool | Materials Name Specification Transmission Fluid MERCON®V | -
Connect the diagnostic tool (WDS) to the vehicle DLC-2 16-pin connector. | | -
Verify the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) temperature using the PID/data monitor “TFT”. | | -
Warm up the automatic transmission until the ATF temperature is 27—49 °C {80—120 °F}. | | -
Move the range selector lever slowly through each gear, stopping in each position and allowing the transmission to engage. | | -
Place the range selector lever in the P position. | | -
Hold the larger drain plug with a wrench and remove the small (center) fluid level indicating plug. | | -
Install the special tool into the pan. | | -
NOTE:Prior to filling the SST with clean ATF, make sure that the canister is clean. | | -
Hang the SST under the vehicle. Position it upright and close to the transmission. | | -
Connect the SST. - Connect the open end of the fluid hose from the SST (307-D465) to the SST (307-437) at the bottom of the fluid pan.
| | -
Apply a maximum of 206.85 kPa {2.11 kgf/cm2, 30.0 pis} to the open end of the vacuum/pressure hose from the rubber tip air nozzle. Fluid will immediately start flowing out of the SST into the fluid pan. | | -
Add 0.5 L {0.5 US qt, 0.4 lmp qt} of ATF into the fluid pan. Stop the process by releasing the air pressure and removing the air nozzle from the end of the hose. | | -
Inspect the ATF level in the SST. - If the fluid drains back into the canister, the transmission is full.
- If no fluid drains back, more fluid will need to be added. Repeat Steps 11 and 12.
| | -
Once the transmission is full, place a hand vacuum pump on the open end of the vacuum/ pressure hose on the SST and apply vacuum to the system. This will pull out any extra fluid trapped in the system and direct it into the container. | | -
Make sure that the ATF temperature is between 27—49 °C {80—120 °F}. | | -
Allow the fluid to drain. - When the ATF comes out as a thin stream or drip, the ATF is at the correct level.
| | -
Install the small (center) fluid level indicating plug. - Tightening torque 10 N·m {102 kgf·cm, 89 in·lbf}
| | -
Check the operation of the transmission by moving the selector lever slowly through each gear, stopping in each position and allowing the transmission to engage. | | |
