Fluid Level Inspection

1. Keep vehicle level.
2. Inspect fluid level.

SST Terminal Identification:

a. Using SST 09843-18020 or equivalent, connect terminals OP1 and E1 of the DLC.

HINT: When terminals OP1 and E1 are connected. the circuit of the ECT sensor is grounded, fixing the cooling fan speed at approx. 1,100 rpm. (Fail-safe operation occurs.)

Hydraulic Fluid Check:

b. Keep the engine speed at 2,000 rpm until the fluid temperature reaches the specified temperature: 70 - 90°C (158 - 195°F)
c. Check that there is no foaming and emulsification of the fluid in the reservoir tank.
d. Measure the fluid level with the engine running.
e. Stop the engine, and measure the fluid level.
f. Subtract (d) from (e).

Checking Hydraulic Fluid Level:

g. Maximum stroke: 5 mm (0.20 in.)





h. Check the fluid level. If low, add fluid. Fluid: ATF DEXRON. Check that fluid level is within the "HOT" level on reservoir tank. If the fluid is cold, check that it is within the "COLD" level on the reservoir tank.

Diagnostic Connector:

h. Remove the SST from the DLC1.
