  8. Raise the engine speed to 2000 rpm and hold for 30 seconds. Then let it return to idle speed.
    • Using Jaguar Land Rover approved diagnostic equipment, check the transmission fluid temperature.
    • If the transmission fluid 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 fluid temperature is above 50°C (122°F), switch off the engine and allow the transmission to cool down, then repeat steps  7 and  8.
  10. Raise and support the vehicle.
  11. CAUTION:
    • The engine needs to idle with the TCS  in the Park (P) position for correct transmission fluid level reading.
    • Only continue with the fluid level check procedure 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 fluid filler plug is tightened to the correct specification, use the special tool and a torque wrench and follow the steps below:
    • 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 filler plug to the torque given by the calculation.
    • Remove the special tool.

      Special Tool(s): 307-452
