Fluid leakage and fluid level check
- Inspect for fluid leakage and check the fluid level. Refer to «CHECKING A/T FLUID»(ref-233644-S11791814522006052600000) .
Fluid condition check
Inspect the fluid condition.
| Fluid status | Conceivable Cause | Required Operation |
|---|---|---|
| Varnished (viscous varnish state) | Clutch, brake scorched | Replace the A/T fluid and check the A/T main unit and the vehicle for malfunctions (wire harnesses, cooler pipes, etc.) |
| Milky white or cloudy | Water in the fluid | Replace the A/T fluid and check for places where water is getting in. |
| Large amount of metal powder mixed in | Unusual wear of sliding parts within A/T | Replace the A/T fluid and check for improper operation of the A/T. |

- Inspect the amount of engine oil. Replenish the engine oil if necessary.
- Drive for about 10 minutes to warm up the vehicle so that the A/T fluid temperature is 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F). Inspect the amount of A/T fluid. Replenish if necessary.
- Switch of A/C and light etc. are off.
- Securely engage the parking brake so that the tires do not turn.
- Engine start, apply foot brake, and place selector lever in "D" position.
- While holding down the foot brake, gradually press down the accelerator pedal.
- Quickly read off the stall speed, then quickly remove your foot from the accelerator pedal. CAUTION: Do not hold down the accelerator pedal for more than 5 seconds during this test.
- Move the selector lever to the "N" position.
- Cool down the A/T fluid. CAUTION: Run the engine at idle for at least one minute.
- Repeat step 5 through 9 with selector lever in "manual mode" and "R" positions. Stall speed: 2,430 - 2,730 rpm

- Inspect the amount of engine oil. Replenish the engine oil if necessary.
- Drive for about 10 minutes to warm up the vehicle so that the A/T fluid temperature is 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F). Check the amount of A/T fluid. Replenish if necessary.
- Switch of A/C and light etc. are off.
- Securely engage the parking brake so that the tires do not turn.
- Engine start, apply foot brake.
- Measure time lag by using stopwatch from moment when shift lever is shifted in "N" to "D" position and "N" to "R" position until moment slightly shock can be felt. CAUTION: Make sure to take 3 measurement and take the average value. Make sure to keep interval for more than one minute between time lag tests. (That purpose is to remove clutch/brake pressure was left unfinished.) Time lag: "N" to "D" position: Less than 0.7 sec. "N" to "R" position: Less than 1.2 sec.
