TRANSMISSION FLUID

Checking 6-speed automatic transmission fluid (AWF21)

(if equipped)

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.

Checking automatic transmission fluid at normal operating

temperature (140°F-158°F [60°C-70°C])

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]) until the engine coolant gauge

indicates normal operating temperature. 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 for about 30 minutes to allow fluid to cool before

checking.

1. Drive the vehicle 20 miles (30 km) or until the coolant gauge indicates

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 sufficient time for each gear to engage (approximately

10–15 seconds in each position).

4. Move the gearshift lever to 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.

7. Remove the dipstick and inspect

the fluid level. The fluid should read

within the hot range on the dipstick

if at normal operating temperature

(140°F-158°F [60°C-70°C]).
