WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Lincoln Navigator and 2017 Ford Expedition. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
To get an accurate transmission fluid level reading the engine should be idling (600-750 rpm) in PARK.
- 1.
If the transmission is overfilled, transmission fluid must be removed to the correct level. Use the Transporter Fluid Evacuator/Injector and the Vacuum Pump Kit to extract any excessive transmission fluid.
- 2.NOTE: The transmission fluid level indicator has 2 areas for the fluid level, a crosshatched (labeled A) area and a dotted (labeled B) area. Use the dotted (labeled B) area when checking the transmission fluid level. The correct transmission fluid level is at the upper level of the dotted marks on the transmission fluid level indicator.
Using the scan tool, verify that the TFT is between 96.7 °C-102 °C (206 °F-215 °F). The transmission fluid level must be at the upper level of the dotted (B) mark.
