Transmission Fluid Level and Condition: Inspection
Park vehicle on level ground and set parking brake. With the engine idling, move the shift lever through all positions from "P" to "L", then return to position "P". Check to see if the level of fluid comes to "HOT" range of about 80°C (176°F) on the dipstick gauge.
If the level of fluid is too low, replenish to bring it to maximum level in "HOT" range.
Inspection of fluid condition. If the ATF is black or smells burnt, replace it.
