MA-44 < PERIODIC MAINTENANCE > CHASSIS AND BODY MAINTENANCE 5. Allow the A/T fluid temperature to fall to approximately 65 ° C (149 ° F). Use the CONSULT-III to monitor the A/T fluid temperature as follows: NOTE: The A/T fluid level will be significantly affected by the A/T fluid temperature as shown. Therefore monitor the A/T fluid temperature data using the CONSULT-III. a. Connect CONSULT-III to data link connector. Read out the value of “ATF TEMP 1”. 6. Re-check the A/T fluid level at A/T fluid temperatures of approxi- mately 65 ° C (149 ° F) using the “HOT” range on the A/T fluid level gauge as shown. The HOT range is between 50 ° - 80 ° C (122 ° - 176 ° F). CAUTION: • When wiping the A/T fluid from the A/T fluid level gauge, always use lint-free paper, not a cloth. • To check the A/T fluid level, insert the A/T fluid level gauge until the cap contacts the top of the A/T fluid charg- ing pipe, with the gauge reversed from the normal inserted position as shown. 7. Check the A/T fluid condition. • If the A/T fluid is very dark or has some burned smell, there may be an internal problem with the transmission. Refer to . Flush the transmission cooling system after repairing the transmission. • If the A/T fluid contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.), replace the radiator and flush the transmission cooler lines using cleaning solvent and compressed air after repairing the transmission. 8. Install the A/T fluid level gauge in the A/T fluid charging pipe. SLIA0016E LLIA0071E A/T fluid level gauge bolt : Refer to
