When a certain amount of time is required to warm up the transmission fluid to the normal operating temperature 70 - 80 degrees C (158 - 176
degrees F), check the oil level referring to the characteristics chart.
9. Adjust the transmission fluid level to the specified level. Refill the transmission fluid when the fluid level is low, and drain the transmission fluid
through the drain plug when the fluid level is high.
10. Securely insert the oil level gauge into the oil filler tube.
11. TCM records the deterioration level of the transmission fluid. After replacing the transmission fluid with new one, use scan tool to reset the
deterioration level recorded in TCM.
