5.CHECK AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL
Use caution while the engine is idling and the radiator fan is operating.
Lift the vehicle.
Set the vehicle on a lift so that the vehicle is kept level when it is lifted up (make sure that the tilt angle from the front to rear of the vehicle is within +/-1°).
Using a 5 mm hexagon socket wrench, remove the overflow plug and gasket from the automatic transmission assembly.
Be careful as the automatic transmission fluid coming out of the overflow hole is hot.
Check the amount of automatic transmission fluid that comes out of the overflow hole.
If the amount of automatic transmission fluid that comes out of the overflow hole is large, proceed to step [*1].
If no automatic transmission fluid comes out of the overflow hole, proceed to step [*2].
If only a small amount of automatic transmission fluid (approximately 5 cc) comes out of the overflow hole, then only automatic transmission fluid remaining in the No. 1 transmission oil filler tube has come out. This is not considered to be overflow.
If the amount of automatic transmission fluid that comes out of the overflow hole is large, wait until the automatic transmission fluid flow slows and only drips come out. [*1]
The automatic transmission fluid flow will not stop completely because the automatic transmission fluid continues to expand as its temperature increases.
| *a | Refill Hole |
| *b | Overflow Hole |
If no automatic transmission fluid comes out of the overflow hole, remove the refill plug and O-ring. Then add automatic transmission fluid to the refill hole until it flows out of the overflow hole. Wait until the automatic transmission fluid flow slows and only drips come out. [*2]
Use Toyota Genuine ATF WS.
Using transmission fluid other than the above type may cause abnormal noise or vibration, or damage the transmission of your vehicle.
Be sure to add automatic transmission fluid slowly. If automatic transmission fluid is added quickly, the automatic transmission fluid may hit internal parts and bounce back, resulting in automatic transmission fluid coming out of the refill hole.
