Note:
- If there is not enough time to warm up the working fluid to operating temperature, then testing is allowed at the temperature range indicated on the graph.
- It is recommended to read the temperature of the working fluid (ATF) using the MUT-II tester.
2. Place the vehicle on a level, horizontal surface.
3. Press the brake pedal and move the selector lever sequentially through all positions, holding it in each of them for a few seconds to fill the entire hydraulic control system and torque converter with working fluid (ATF), and then set the selector to the "N" position.
4. Leave the engine running at idle speed (selector lever in position "N").
5. Before removing the dipstick, clean the area around the dipstick with a clean, lint-free cloth. Remove the dipstick and check the condition of the transmission fluid (ATF).
Caution: It is necessary to perform a major overhaul of the gearbox and clean the cooler tubes of the working fluid under the following conditions:
- - If the working fluid (ATF) in the variator or automatic transmission has a burnt smell.
- - If the working fluid (ATF) in the variator or automatic transmission is noticeably black.
- - If the working fluid (ATF) in the variator or automatic transmission is contaminated with a large number of metal particles.
6. The normal level of the working fluid should be at the "HOT" mark on the working fluid level dipstick. If the working fluid level is below this mark, then add the working fluid to the "HOT" level on the dipstick.
Recommended working fluid - DiaQueen ATF SP-III or equivalent
Caution: If the working fluid level is above the "HOT" range, replace the working fluid (ATF).
7. Make sure you have carefully examined the condition of the working fluid (ATF) on the working fluid level dipstick. Insert the dipstick into place and make sure the dipstick cap is tightly seated.
8. The working fluid in the variator or automatic transmission must be replaced with a new one if a major overhaul of the variator/automatic transmission was performed or the working fluid is heavily contaminated and does not meet technical requirements (operation in severe conditions).
