Finishing Work

26. Check transmission oil level
- Refer to steps 29 through 33 below.

NOTE:
- Use only automatic transmission fluid which fulfills both Dexron II E and Ford Mercon standards.
- When fluid and transmission are cold and the engine is off, correct oil level is only a few mm up the dipstick.

27. Checking diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs)
- Check and erase diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), refer to Powertrain Management.





28. Test drive
- Test drive the car with driving programs in all three position (S, E and W).

NOTE:
- Check that no diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) have been stored during the test drive.
- Erase diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).





29. Checking oil level
- Conditions
The difference between MAX and MIN volume is 0.5 liter (0.53 US qt.).
Check oil temperature in transmission.
At room temperature (+20°C (+68.0°F)) the oil level is near the MIN mark on the "cold area".
At the room temperature (+20°C (+68.0°F)) and low oil level the oil only just reaches the dipstick.
"Cold area" (+40°C (+ 104.0°F)) is reached after the engine has been idling for approximately 15 minutes in the workshop.
"Warm area" (+80°C (+176.0°F)) is reached after approximately 30 minutes road use with an air temperature over +15°C (+59.0°F).

NOTE: The check should be carried out at an oil temperature of +80°C. (+176.0°F)

30. Preparations:
- Park car on level surface
- Set the parking brake
- Apply the foot brakes
- Engine idling
- Move gear selector lever to position P.
31. Move the gear selector through all positions, stopping in each position for approximately 3 seconds
- Return gear selector to position P.
Wait 2 minutes before checking oil level.
The dipstick must be pushed down completely in the dipstick tube.

CAUTION:
- Wipe the dipstick with a nylon cloth or similar.
- A cloth that does not leave traces of lint or threads on the dipstick.

Low Level (Topping Up)

32. Top up with oil through the dipstick pipe
- Take account of the temperature when topping up with oil.
See step 29 above.

High Level (Overfilling)

NOTE:
- The oil may be very hot if the car has just been driven.
- Avoid skin contact with transmission fluid.
- The transmission must not be operated if the oil level is too low.
- This can cause increased operating temperatures and oil leakage.





33. Drain the oil
- Undo the drain plug.
Allow some of the oil run out.
Install plug.
Torque to 40 Nm (29.5 ft lb).
- Check the level taking account of temperature.
See step 29 above.
- The oil can also be sucked out through the dipstick pipe using an oil suction syringe with a narrow gauge hose.

NOTE: Strict cleanliness is important.




34. Return transmission. (Only when replacing entire transmission assembly)
- Returning the old transmission unit.
In order to accurately analyze the transmission fault, information is required about all symptoms which have caused the unit to be replaced. This information should be reported on the "Diagnosis and Check List" form which has been prepared. Make sure form has been filled out accurately.

Note clearly all fault symptoms under the heading "Customer Complaints". Fill in the results after test driving the car.

Place completed form in a plastic folder behind the torque converter so that it will not fall out.

The different sections of the form are to be used as follows:

1. The white copy goes with the transmission.
2. The yellow copy is sent to the respective importer.
3. The pink copy is kept by the issuing party.
