  4. Lower the vehicle.
  5. NOTE: Make sure that the transmission is not in the default mode, if this is the case, stop and correct the cause first and then restart the fluid level check.
    1. Connect Land Rover approved diagnostic equipment to the vehicle.
    2. Start the engine and allow to idle.
    3. Switch off the Air Conditioning (A/C) system and other electrical components.
  6. CAUTION: Using Land Rover approved diagnostic equipment, make sure the transmission temperature is between 30°C (85°F) and 50°C (122°F) before starting the fluid level check.
    • Apply and hold the brake pedal.
    • Select reverse gear and wait for 10 seconds.
    • Select drive, then manual 1st gear and wait for 10 seconds.
    • Select 2nd gear and wait for 10 seconds.
    • Select Park (P) on the TCS.
    • Raise the engine speed to 2000 rpm and hold for 30 seconds. Then return to idle speed.
    • Using Land Rover approved diagnostic equipment, check the transmission fluid temperature.
    • If the transmission oil temperature is lower than 30°C (86°F). Allow the transmission to warm up above 30°C (86°F) with the engine idling in the P position, then proceed with the transmission fluid level check.
    • If the transmission oil temperature is above 50°C (122°F), switch off the engine and allow the transmission to cool down, then repeat steps  7 and 8.
  9. CAUTION: Only continue with the fluid level check if the transmission temperature is between 30°C (86°C) and 50°C (122°).
    NOTE: Use a suitable container to collect escaping fluid.

    • To make sure the transmission fill plug is torqued to the correct specification. Using the special tool and torque wrench the following calculation steps must be followed.
    • Step 1. Multiply 35 Nm by the effective length of the torque wrench (1).
    • Step 2. Add the effective length of the special tool (2) to the effective length of the torque wrench (1).
    • Step 3. Divide the total of step 1 by the total of step 2.
    • Step 4. Set the torque wrench to the figure arrived at in step 3.
    • Tighten the transmission fluid fill plug to the torque given by the calculation.
    • Remove the special tool.

    Special Tool(s): 307-452
