    Fig 6: Inspecting ATF Flow
    G08142900
    CAUTION:
    • For a low amount of ATF flowing from the overflow hole, the fluid level is not adjusted to the specification because the fluid that has accumulated in the overflow tube is what has flowed from the hole.
    NOTE:
    • If there is no ATF flowing from the overflow hole, fill with ATF from the filler plug hole until ATF flows from the overflow hole.
  9. Verify that the ATF temperature is within the appropriate temperature range (between 37 °C {99 °F}  and under 47 °C {117 °F}  ).
  10. Allow the ATF to drain from the overflow hole until it drips or becomes a thin stream.
