CHASSIS AND BODY MAINTENANCE
NOTE:
A/T fluid level will be greatly affected by temperature as shown in figure. Therefore, be certain to
perform operation while checking data with CONSULT-II.
a. Connect CONSULT-II to data link connector. Refer toAT-79, "
CONSULT-II SETTING PROCEDURE".
b. Select “MAIN SIGNALS” in “DATA MONITOR” mode for “A/T” with CONSULT-II.
c. Readthevalueof“ATFTEMP1”.
7. Recheck A/T fluid level at A/T fluid temperatures of approximately 65°C(149°F)using“HOT”rangeonA/
T fluid level gauge.
CAUTION:
lWhen wiping away A/T fluid level gauge, always use lint-free paper, not a cloth one.
lTo check A/T fluid level, insert A/T fluid level gauge until
the cap contacts the end of A/T fluid charging pipe, with
A/T fluid level gauge reversed from the normal attach-
ment conditions as shown.
8. Check A/T fluid condition.
lIf ATF is very dark or smells burned, check operation of A/T.
Flush cooling system after repair of A/T.
lIf A/T fluid contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.),
replace radiator and flush cooler line using cleaning solvent
and compressed air after repair of A/T. Refer toCO-11,
"RADIATOR".
9. Install the removed A/T fluid level gauge into A/T fluid charging
pipe.
