Fluid Condition Check
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Check the fluid level.
- Observe the color and the odor of the fluid. The color under normal circumstances should be like honey, not dark brown or black.
- Allow the fluid to drip onto a facial tissue and examine the stain.
- 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.
