CAUTION: The vehicle should not be driven if the fluid level is low as internal failure could result.
CAUTION: The fluid fill plug is located near the exhaust system. The exhaust will be extremely hot during this procedure.
NOTE: If the vehicle has been operated for an extended period at high highway speeds, in city traffic, during hot weather or while pulling a trailer, the
fluid must cool down to obtain an accurate reading.
NOTE: If the transmission starts to slip, shifts slowly or shows signs of fluid leaking, the fluid level should be checked.
NOTE: Do not overfill the transmission. The fluid level must be at the upper level of the crosshatch mark.
NOTE: If the installation of a new transmission fluid cooler, cooler lines have been carried out the vehicle must be driven to get the transmission fluid
to a temperature of 88°C (190°F) in order to purge the air from the cooling system.
1. With the engine running, place the transmission selector lever in each gear position and hold approximately 5 seconds. Place the transmission
selector lever in PARK.
2. With the engine idling (600-750 rpm) in PARK, position it on a hoist.
3. Remove the fluid fill plug fluid level indicator assembly, located on the passenger side front portion of the transmission case.
