Be careful not to burn yourself when the automatic transmission fluid temperature is high.
To prevent injury due to contact with an operating V-ribbed belt or cooling fan, keep your hands and clothing away from the V-ribbed belt and cooling fans when working in the engine compartment with the engine running or the ignition switch to ON.

If the automatic transmission fluid temperature tends to decrease when the automatic transmission fluid temperature is between 85°C (185°F) and 90°C (194°F) with the engine idling, make sure that automatic transmission fluid temperature is above 90°C (194°F) before starting work.
If the automatic transmission fluid temperature tends to increase when the automatic transmission fluid temperature is between 85°C (185°F) and 90°C (194°F) with the engine idling, make sure that automatic transmission fluid temperature is below 85°C (185°F) before starting work.
If the automatic transmission fluid temperature tends to not change when the automatic transmission fluid temperature is between 85°C (185°F) and 90°C (194°F) with the engine idling, make sure that automatic transmission fluid temperature is 87.5°C (189.5°F) before starting work.

Connect the hose of SST (tank assy) to SST (vacuum regulator).
Ensure both of SST (tank assy) valves are closed by turning each valve handle to the position shown in the illustration so it is perpendicular to the hose.
Connect a compressed air hose to SST (tank assy).
Do not apply 689 kPa (7.0 kgf/cm2, 100 psi) or more of compressed air to SST (tank assy).
Open the lower valve of SST (tank assy) by turning the valve handle so it is in-line with the compressed air hose.

Make sure the value on the gauge of SST (vacuum regulator) stays between 10 to 20 kPa (0.1 to 0.2 kgf/cm2, 1.5 to 2.9 psi).
Vacuum will be applied to the automatic transmission assembly when both of SST (tank assy) valves are opened to prevent automatic transmission fluid loss when removing/installing the overflow plug.
Using a 5 mm hexagon socket wrench, remove the overflow plug and gasket.
A small amount of HOT automatic transmission fluid may leak from the overflow plug hole during removal.
Place an oil drain pan under the overflow plug hole to collect any automatic transmission fluid.
| *a | SST (Overflow Level Gauge) |
Install SST (adapter 10) to SST (overflow level gauge) and then install SST (overflow level gauge) to the overflow plug hole by hand until it is fully seated against the automatic transmission oil pan sub-assembly.
Ensure that the sliding tube of SST (overflow level gauge) is fully retracted into the housing of SST (overflow level gauge) before inserting it into the overflow plug hole.
The level/measurement indicator on SST (overflow level gauge) will read 0 mm (0 in.) when the sliding tube of SST (overflow level gauge) is fully retracted.
Adjust SST (overflow level gauge) to the specified measurement according to the table below and lock the sliding scale of SST (overflow level gauge) by tightening the thumb screw.
