Armada 4WD V8-5.6L (VK56DE) Flex Fuel (2009)
NOTE:
The A/T fluid level will be significantly affected by the A/T fluid temperature as shown. Therefore monitor the A/T fluid temperature data using the
CONSULT-III.
a. Connect CONSULT-III to data link connector.
b. Select "MAIN SIGNALS" in "DATA MONITOR" mode for "A/T" with CONSULT-III.
c. Read out the value of "ATF TEMP 1".
6. Re-check the A/T fluid level at A/T fluid temperatures of approximately 65°C (149°F) using the "HOT" range on the A/T fluid level gauge as
shown. The HOT range is between 50° - 80° C (122° - 176° F).
CAUTION:
-
When wiping the A/T fluid from the A/T fluid level gauge, always use lint-free paper, not a cloth.
-
To check the A/T fluid level, insert the A/T fluid level gauge until the cap contacts the top of the A/T fluid charging pipe, with the gauge
reversed from the normal inserted position as shown.
7. Check the A/T fluid condition.
-
If the A/T fluid is very dark or has some burned smell, there may be an internal problem with the transmission. Refer to See: Transmission
Cooler/Service and Repair/A/T Fluid Cooler Cleaning. Flush the transmission cooling system after repairing the transmission.
-
If the A/T fluid contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.), replace the radiator and flush the transmission cooler lines using cleaning
solvent and compressed air after repairing the transmission.
8. Install the A/T fluid level gauge in the A/T fluid charging pipe.
9. Tighten the A/T fluid level gauge bolt to specification.
