A/T FLUID CHECK



FLUID LEAK CHECK


After cleaning the lower side of transmission, check visually or by touching that there is no oozing or leaking of fluid from the transmission.

FLUID LEVEL CHECK


caution During the fluid level check, the fluid temperature must be between 40 and 43°C <6B3> or between 43 and 46°C <4N1>. If the temperature is outside this range, set the fluid temperature to the suitable temperature, and then check the fluid level.

<WHEN THE M.U.T.-III IS USED>


1.Park the vehicle on a flat place, and move the selector lever to the P range.
2.Connect the M.U.T.-III.
3.Use the M.U.T.-III Data list item No.7: A/T fluid temperature (oil pan) to check that the A/T fluid temperature is less than the lower threshold (40°C <6B3>, 43°C <4N1>). If not, wait until it reaches 40°C <6B3>, 43°C <4N1> or less.


4.Remove the drain plug (overflow plug) and check whether a drop of A/T fluid comes out of the drain hole. If not, remove the filler plug and refill the A/T fluid through the filler plug opening. After the A/T fluid comes out, tighten the drain plug by hand.
5.Apply the parking brake, and start the engine.
caution Depending on ambient temperature, the A/T fluid temperature may exceed the upper threshold (43°C <6B3>, 46°C <4N1>) prematurely. So, speedy operations must be ensured.
6.Depress the brake pedal, move the selector lever from the P to D range, and then move it to every position by holding 2 seconds or more at each range. Repeat this cycle twice, and then return the lever to the P range.
7.Check that the fluid temperature is between 40 and 43°C <6B3> or between 43 and 46°C <4N1>.
note When the ambient temperature is low (10°C or lower), move the selector lever to the P range, warm up the engine for 15 minutes with the engine speed of 2,000 to 2,500 r/min. Then, the fluid temperature becomes approximately 40°C. In such case, after the fluid temperature increased, leave the engine idling for 5 minutes, and then check the fluid level.
8.Remove the drain plug (overflow plug) and check whether a drop of A/T fluid comes out of the drain hole.
9.<When the fluid is drained>
Wait until the fluid becomes oil drops.
<When the fluid is not drained>
Remove the filler plug, and pour in the fluid through the filler plug hole until the fluid comes out of the drain plug (overflow plug) hole. Wait until the fluid becomes oil drops.
10.Tighten the drain plug (overflow plug) with a new gasket to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 16 ± 1 N·m
11.Tighten the filler plug with a new O-ring to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 39 ± 15 N·m

<WHEN THE M.U.T.-III IS NOT USED>


1.Park the vehicle on a flat place, and move the selector lever to the P range.


2.Remove the drain plug (overflow plug) and check whether a drop of A/T fluid comes out of the drain hole. If not, remove the filler plug and refill the A/T fluid through the filler plug opening. After the A/T fluid comes out, tighten the drain plug by hand.

3.Earth the diagnosis connector terminal No. 1.
4.Apply the parking brake, and start the engine.
5.Depress the brake pedal, move the selector lever from the P to D range, and then move it to every position by holding 2 seconds or more at each range. Repeat this cycle twice, and then return the lever to the P range.

6.
caution Depending on ambient temperature, the A/T fluid temperature may exceed the upper threshold (43°C <6B3>, 46°C <4N1>) prematurely. So, speedy operations must be ensured.
Move the selector lever (N → D → N) within 1.5 seconds, and continue the operation until the A/T fluid temperature warning mark is shown on the multi-information display. After the A/T fluid temperature warning mark is shown, check that the fluid temperature is within the specified range (Refer to NOTE). Then move the selector lever back to the P range. The A/T fluid temperature warning mark should go out within a few seconds.
note
  • The status of A/T fluid temperature warning mark shows if the fluid temperature is suitable for the fluid level check.

    • The warning mark is not displayed: The fluid temperature is 40°C <6B3>, 43°C <4N1> or less, thus checking is impossible.
    • The warning mark is displayed: The fluid temperature is between 40 and 43°C <6B3> or between 43 and 46°C <4N1>, thus checking is possible.
    • Warning mark is blinking*: The fluid temperature is 43°C <6B3>, 46°C <4N1> or higher, thus checking is impossible.
      *: It will blink at the cycle of ON for five seconds and OFF for one second, and the buzzer will sound every approximately five seconds. Note that only the buzzer sounds every five seconds without blinking.
  • When the ambient temperature is low (10°C or lower), move the selector lever to the P range, warm up the engine for 15 minutes with the engine speed of 2,000 to 2,500 r/min. Then, the fluid temperature becomes approximately 40°C. In such case, after the fluid temperature increased, leave the engine idling for 5 minutes, and then check the fluid level.


7.Remove the drain plug (overflow plug), and check whether a drop of the A/T fluid comes out of the rain hole.
8.<When the fluid is drained>
Wait until the A/T fluid drops.
<When the fluid is not drained>
Remove the filler plug, and pour in the fluid through the filler plug hole until the fluid comes out of the drain plug (overflow plug) hole. Wait until the A/T fluid drops.
9.Tighten the drain plug (overflow plug) with a new gasket to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 16 ± 1 N·m
10.Tighten the filler plug with a new O-ring to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 39 ± 15 N·m
