TRANSMISSION FLUID

Checking automatic transmission fluid

Refer to your scheduled maintenance information for scheduled

intervals for fluid checks and changes. Your transmission does not

consume fluid. However, the fluid level should be checked if the

transmission is not working properly, i.e., if the transmission slips or

shifts slowly or if you notice some sign of fluid leakage.

Automatic transmission fluid expands when warmed. To obtain an

accurate fluid check, drive the vehicle until it is warmed up

(approximately 20 miles [30 km]). If your vehicle has been

operated for an extended period at high speeds, in city traffic

during hot weather or pulling a trailer, the vehicle should be

turned off until normal operating temperatures are reached to

allow the fluid to cool before checking. Depending on vehicle use,

cooling times could take up to 30 minutes or longer.

WARNING: The dipstick cap and surrounding components may

be hot; gloves are recommended.

1. Drive the vehicle 20 miles (30 km) or until it reaches normal operating

temperature.

2. Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.

3. With the parking brake engaged and your foot on the brake pedal,

start the engine and move the gearshift lever through all of the gear

ranges. Allow a minimum of 10 seconds for each gear to engage.

4. Latch the gearshift lever in P (Park) and leave the engine running.

5. Remove the dipstick, wiping it clean with a clean, dry lint free rag. If

necessary, refer to Identifying components in the engine compartment

in this chapter for the location of the dipstick.

6. Install the dipstick making sure it is fully seated in the filler tube by

turning it to the locked position.

7. Remove the dipstick and inspect the fluid level. The fluid should be in

the designated areas for normal operating temperature.
