  1. Raise and suitably support the vehicle. Ensure vehicle is level. Clean any dirt from around the fill plug or TFT sensor, if equipped. Disconnect TFT sensor harness connector if necessary. Remove the transmission fill plug (or TFT sensor) from the transmission. See Fig 1 .
  2. Inspect the transmission fluid level. Ensure transmission fluid is even with bottom of fill plug hole. Add appropriate fluid, if necessary. See RECOMMENDED FLUIDS  .
  3. Install the transmission fill plug (or TFT sensor) to the transmission. Tighten to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  . Connect TFT sensor harness connector, if necessary.
