High Temperature Adjustment [08/2016 - ]: Procedure
- ADJUST FLUID LEVEL AT HIGH TEMPERATURE WARNING:
- Use caution while the engine is idling and the radiator fan is operating.
- Be careful not to burn yourself when the automatic transaxle fluid temperature is high.
- Warm up and stop the engine.[*4]
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3 with the ignition switch off.
- Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the Techstream on.NOTE:
To reduce load, make sure that all electrical systems, such as the air conditioning, lighting system, electric fan and audio system, are off.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Data List.
- Select the Data List menu: A/T Oil Temperature No. 1
Powertrain > Transmission > Data List
Tester Display A/T Oil Temperature No. 1 - Select the Data List menu: Engine Speed
Powertrain > Transmission > Data List
Tester Display Engine Speed - Check the ATF temperature.NOTE:
- If the automatic transaxle fluid temperature tends to decrease when the automatic transaxle fluid temperature is between 85°C (185°F) and 90°C (194°F) with the engine idling, make sure that automatic transaxle fluid temperature is above 90°C (194°F) before starting work.
- If the automatic transaxle fluid temperature tends to increase when the automatic transaxle fluid temperature is between 85°C (185°F) and 90°C (194°F) with the engine idling, make sure that automatic transaxle fluid temperature is below 85°C (185°F) before starting work.
- If the automatic transaxle fluid temperature tends to not change when the automatic transaxle fluid temperature is between 85°C (185°F) and 90°C (194°F) with the engine idling, make sure that automatic transaxle fluid temperature is 87.5°C (189.5°F) before starting work.
- Depress and hold the brake pedal.

- Slowly move the shift lever from P to D, and then back to P.
HINT:
Slowly move the shift lever to circulate the automatic transaxle fluid through each part of the automatic transaxle assembly.

Set the vehicle on a lift so that the vehicle is kept level when it is lifted up (make sure the tilt angle from the front to rear and side to side of the vehicle is within +/-1°).

HINT:
Vacuum will be applied to the automatic transaxle assembly when both of the valves of SST (tank assy) are opened to prevent automatic transaxle fluid loss when removing/installing the overflow plug.
- Using a 10 mm hexagon socket wrench, remove the overflow plug and gasket.WARNING:
A small amount of HOT automatic transaxle fluid may leak from the overflow plug port during removal.
HINT:
Place an transaxle housing under the overflow plug to collect any automatic transaxle fluid.

NOTE:Ensure that the sliding tube of SST (overflow level gauge) is fully retracted into the housing of SST (overflow level gauge) before inserting it into the overflow plug hole.
HINT:
The level/measurement indicator on SST (overflow level gauge) will read 0 mm (0 in.) when the sliding tube of SST (overflow level gauge) is fully retracted.
