Transaxle Fluid Level Check
NOTE:
- The transaxle fluid should be checked at normal operating temperature 80°C - 93°C (175°F - 200°F) on a level surface. Normal operating temperature can be reached after approximately 32 km (20 mi) of driving and can be checked using the scan tool.
- Under normal circumstances, the transaxle fluid level should be checked during normal maintenance. If the transaxle starts to slip, shifts slowly or shows signs of transaxle fluid leaking, the transaxle fluid level should be checked.
- With the transaxle in PARK, the engine at idle, and the brake applied, move the selector lever through each gear and allow engagement of each gear. Place the selector lever in the PARK position.
- Wipe the transaxle fluid level indicator cap and remove the transaxle fluid level indicator.
- Wipe the transaxle fluid level indicator with a clean cloth.
- Install the transaxle fluid level indicator back in the transaxle fluid filler tube until it is fully seated, then remove the indicator. The transaxle fluid level should be within the normal operating range.
