Checking the oil level in the transmission

Check the transmission oil level

Note! The transmission fluid level is extremely important for transmission function. Therefore it is imperative that it is correct. In addition the oil level is dependent on oil temperature.




- Start the car
- Read off the oil temperature.
When checking the transmission fluid level, the temperature must be 80-90°C.
At the correct temperature, the oil level should be between "Min hot" and "Max hot".

Oil level
- Too high:Drain the transmission fluid to the correct level
- Too low:Check the transmission for leakage.
Remedy as necessary.

Other information:
- To check and adjust the oil level, see Oil level, checking Checking Oil Level.

Resetting Transmission fluid change counter

Hint: The transmission control module (TCM) has a counter for the oil quality. The counter counts up if the transmission is exposed to too high a load or an ambient temperature that is too high. If the counter is not reset when the oil is drained or changed, there is a risk that a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) will be stored in faulty circumstances. Therefore it is important that the "Transmission oil change" counter is reset.

Note! This applies only when the transmission fluid is changed and when the fluid is changed when repairs are carried out to the transmission temperature sensor.




- Ignition on.
Reset the counter by clicking on the VCT 2000 symbol.
