Fluid - CVT: Testing and Inspection

Checking CVT Fluid 

FLUID LEVEL CHECK 

Fluid level should be checked with the fluid warmed up to 50° - 80°C (122° - 176°F).

1. Check for fluid leakage.
2. With the engine warmed up, drive the vehicle to warm up the CVT fluid. When ambient temperature is 20°C (68°F), it takes about 10 minutes for

the CVT fluid to warm up to 50° - 80°C (122° - 176°F).

3. Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking brake.
4. With engine at idle, while depressing brake pedal, move the selector lever throughout the entire shift range and return it to the "P" position.

5. Press the tab on the CVT fluid level gauge to release the lock and pull out the CVT fluid level gauge from the CVT fluid charging pipe.

6. Wipe fluid off the CVT fluid level gauge. Then rotate the CVT fluid level gauge 180° and re-insert it into the CVT charging pipe as far as it will

go.

CAUTION:  Always use lint free paper towels to wipe fluid off the CVT fluid level gauge.
