Detection procedure of transmission fluid level
1. General

The process is used to detect the level of vehicle transmission fluid. It will cause the failure or delay of transmission shifting if
the level is low than required value and the vehicle does not reach the drive temperature.
Firstly, process the transmission diagnosis information detection for vehicle (refer to chapter 6). If found the failure of sensor,
then it maybe caused by transmission fluid level is less than specified value.
It should detect whether has the abnormal delay and Gear-position condition when select the forward or reverse-gear by driving
the vehicle. One feature of oil level less than normal value is that the vehicle has the gear-position delay and lack condition when
the vehicle is in steering. The previous problem will occur when the transmission fluid temperature is low.
When the oil temperature is medium and vehicle speed failure is recorded, the gear-position lose condition
will not occurs any longer, it means that needs to fill the transmission with the transmission fluid.
2. Detection of transmission fluid level

When fill up or replace the transmission fluid, it must use the Castrol TQ95 automatic transmission fluid (ATF) or other
permissive oil. It will damage the performance and service life of transmission if use the unpermissive transmission fluid.
Please ensure the transmission fluid level is correct. The transmission also can be damaged if the transmission fluid level is
incorrect.
The setting procedure of transmission fluid level is shown as follows:
Caution:
When the transmission is in operating temperature, the hot transmission fluid may flow out form the
housing if remove the filling plug.
a. If the vehicle is in operating temperature, allow two hours time for cooling before add the transmission fluid, but
it must not more than 4 hours (this will make the transmission locate in the correct temperature range). When the
temperature is overheating, the transmission fluid level will higher than the plug port. Removal of plug will cause
the transmission fluid flows out from the oil filling port, then cause the low level of transmission fluid.
b. The gear-position of transmission is in parking-Gear (P-Gear), shut off the engine.
c. Lifting the vehicle (or parking above the trench).
d. Clean the around of plug when remove it. Then remove and clean the plug and check the O-ring for damage. Install
the oil filling pump in the oil filling hole.
e. Lower the vehicle; the oil filling pump will be connected to the vehicle at this time. Fill the transmission with the
oil partially. Then start the vehicle in P-Gear to rotate the engine in idle speed. Step down the foot brake, pull the
shifting lever in each gear-position in circulation and add the transmission fluid until the action of each gear-
position can be sensed.
f. Shut down the engine; lift the vehicle; ensure the vehicle is always in horizontal.
g. Remove the filling plug 3 minutes after the engine is shut off, but must not be no more than1 hour. At this time, the
correct level position should be in the bottom of oil filling hole. If does not reach the liquid level position, then fill
with few transmission fluid to make it reach the correct level.
h. Replace the transmission; clean the residual transmission fluid on the transmission and
vehicle.
i. Tighten the transmission plug to the specified torque of 30
35Nm.

3. Oil filling of service after sales
Set the liquid level position correctly; the procedure is shown as follows:
a. Shut down the engine; place the gear-position in the P-Gear.
b . Lift the vehicle (or place it above the trench).
c. Clean the around of plug before remove it. Remove the oil plug and check the O-ring for damage, finally connect the oil filling
pump to the oil filling hole.
d. Lower the vehicle and oil filling pump to the ground; fill with the transmission fluid partially. The general oil filling amount
is shown as follows:
If in the status of transmission hydraulic torque converter is empty: 8.0 L
If in the status of transmission hydraulic torque converter is full: 3.8 L
e. When start the vehicle in P-Gear, rotate the engine in idle speed. Step down the foot brake, pull the shifting lever in each gear-
position in circulation and add the transmission fluid until the action of each gear-position can be sensed.
f. Then fill with 0.5L transmission fluid (ATF) additionally.
g. Shut off the engine, lift the vehicle; take off the pump and replace the plug. Ensure the plug is tightened according to the
specification.
h. Then pull the vehicle throttle position for slight opening to make the vehicle runs for 3.5
4.5km; the rotary speed of engine
is no more than 2500r/min; then the transmission fluid temperature will in the scope of 50
60.
i. The engine is in idle-speed; pull the hand brake to make the shifting lever circuits in each gear-position horizontal status.
k. Remove the filling plug 3 minutes after the engine is shut off, but must be no more than1 hour. At this time, the correct
level position should be in the bottom of oil filling hole. If does not reach the liquid level position, then fill with few
transmission fluid (ATF) to meet the requirement.
l. Reinsert the transmission fluid plug, remove the residual transmission fluid around the vehicle and transmission; tighten the
plug to the specified torque.
4. Replace the ATF
Please notice that the color of TQ95 automatic transmission oil will be faded in the normal operation of transmission; it will be
turn into the deep brown or even in black. It will not affect the performance of ATF. It means that the fading of transmission
fluid not always means to replace the transmission fluid.
If the transmission temperature is raised, the ATF will be burnt. In this condition, ATF will change into black and with special
sulfur smell. The smell of the ATF means the oil is burnt.
If the ATF is burnt, it will cause the damage of transmission (the clutch assembly is damaged at least).At this time, it should
disassembly the transmission and process the necessary detection.
Electronic calibration
1. Idle-speed calibration
The idle-speed calibration is introduced in detail in the vehicle factory manual.
2 Calibration of position of throttle position
