9. With the engine running, raise the vehicle on a hoist and place suitable safety stands under the vehicle. Refer to Maintenance/Service and Repair.
10. Monitor the transmission fluid temperature to make sure that the transmission fluid is at normal operating temperature 85° C - 93° C (185° F - 200
° F).
11. Once a steady flow of fluid (without air bubbles) is observed, remove the hose from the special tool and place the hose in a measuring container
for 15 seconds. After 15 seconds, place the hose back onto the special tool. Lower the vehicle and turn the engine OFF. Measure the amount of
fluid in the container. If adequate flow was observed, approximately 208 ml (7 oz) will be in the measuring container. The test is complete.
Reconnect the cooler line and install the fluid fill plug.
12. If the flow is not liberal, disconnect the hose from the cooler return line and connect the hose to the cooler inlet (lower fitting) on the transmission
case. Reconnect the cooler return line to the case (upper fitting).

Tighten to 40 Nm (30 lb-ft).
13. Repeat Steps 8 through 11. If flow is now approximately 208 ml (7 oz) in 15 seconds, the cooler lines and auxiliary cooler must be cleaned. Refer
to Transmission Fluid Cooler Backflushing and Cleaning. Carry out this entire test after the backflushing and cleaning procedure. If, after carrying
out the backflushing and cleaning procedure, the flow is still not adequate, new cooler lines and/or an auxiliary cooler must be installed. If the flow
from the case is still not adequate after the installation of new cooler lines and/or an auxiliary cooler (208 ml [7 oz] in 15 seconds), the pump
and/or torque converter may be at fault. Carry out the appropriate procedures for diagnosis and repair.
