On-Vehicle Inspection

BEFORE FILLING TRANSMISSION
- This transmission requires Toyota Genuine ATF WS.
- It is necessary to refill the transmission with the correct amount of fluid.
- The vehicle must remain level while adjusting the transmission fluid level.
- On vehicles equipped with active suspension, turn the suspension control switch OFF if it is necessary to jack up the vehicle with the engine running.

HINT:

If you cannot add the listed amount of fluid, do the following:

Install the refill plug.
Allow the engine to idle with the air conditioning OFF
Move the shift lever through entire gear range to circulate fluid
Wait for 30 seconds with the engine idling.
Stop the engine.
Remove the refill plug and add fluid.
Reinstall the refill plug.

FLUID CIRCULATION
1. Allow the engine to idle with the air conditioning OFF.
2. Move the shift lever through entire gear range to circulate fluid.
FLUID TEMPERATURE CHECK
NOTE: The fluid temperature should be less than 30°C (86°F) before beginning the fluid temperature check.
1. With Techstream:
  1. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
  2. Enter the following menus: Powertrain/Engine and ECT/Data List/A/T Oil Temperature 2
  3. Follow the instructions on the tester and read the Data List.
  4. Allow the engine to idle until the fluid temperature reaches 46°C (115°F).
2. Without Techstream (Using A/T OIL TEMP indicator):
  1. Connect terminals between CG (4) and TC (13) of the DLC3 using.
    SST 09843-18040
  2. Move the shift lever back and forth between N and D every 1.5 seconds for six seconds.
  3. The D shift indicator on the combination meter comes on for two seconds. This indicates that the fluid temperature check mode has been started.
  4. The D shift indicator will come on again when the fluid temperature reaches 46°C (115°F) and will blink when it exceeds 56°C (130°F).
  5. Allow the engine to idle until the fluid temperature reaches 46°C (115°F).

FLUID LEVEL CHECK
NOTE: The fluid temperature must be between 46°C (115°F) and 56°C (130°F) to accurately check the fluid level.
1. Remove the overflow plug with the engine idling
2. Check that the fluid comes out of the overflow tube.
  If fluid does not come out, proceed to step 7.
  
  If fluid comes out, wait until the overflow slows to a trickle and proceed to step 8.
TRANSMISSION REFILL
1. Install the overflow plug.
2. Stop the engine.
3. Remove the refill plug.
4. Add 0.4 liters (0.42 US qts, 0.35 lmp qts) of fluid.
5. Allow the engine to idle and wait for 10 seconds.
6. Proceed to step 6.
