Fluid Condition Check

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Check the fluid level. Refer to the relevant article in the repair information. REFER to General Procedures - TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL CHECK .
  2. Observe the color and the odor of the fluid. The color under normal circumstances should be like honey, not dark brown or black.
  3. Allow the fluid to drip onto a facial tissue and examine the stain.
  4. If evidence of solid material is found, the transmission fluid pan should be removed for further inspection.
NOTE: In the event of a transmission unit replacement for internal failure, the oil cooler and pipes must also be replaced.
