indicator (refer to Figure 3). As the transaxle warms to normal operating temperature, the fluid level will rise to the "full hot" mark on the fluid level
indicator.
NOTICE:
The cold level checking procedure cannot take the place of a "hot" level check. The cold level will let the technician know that there is
enough fluid in the transmission/transaxle to perform a preliminary check procedure, an accurate road test, and allow normal operating
temperature to be obtained prior to the necessary "hot" check.
To obtain a proper "hot" fluid level check for all THM transmissions/transaxles:
1.
Drive vehicle in all ranges to attain a fluid temperature of 80 to 90 degrees C (180 to 200 degrees F).
2.
Idle at normal idle speed in park for 3 minutes.
3.
With vehicle level, accessories turned off, and engine, idling in park, check fluid level.
4.
Fluid level should be within the cross-hatched area. (Read front and back of the fluid level indicator and use the lowest level.)
