Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview

CAUTION: While checking and changing, be sure not to allow dust and other foreign particles to enter into the transmission. Keep all of the foreign particles out of the transmission.

NOTE: Check the fluid level with the engine at normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on just twice).

1. Park the vehicle on the level ground. Turn off the engine.
2. Remove the dipstick (yellow loop) from the transmission, and wipe it with a clean cloth.

NOTE: Check the transmission fluid 60 to 90 seconds after shutting off the engine.





3. Insert the dipstick into the transmission.





4. Remove the dipstick and check the fluid level. It should be between the upper and lower mark.
5. If the level is below the lower mark, add fluid into the filler hole to bring it to the upper mark. Use Genuine Honda CVT Fluid only.
6. Insert the dipstick into the transmission.
