ATF Circuit, Bleeding

-- Check the ATF level and fill as described here: Refer to ATF LEVEL, CHECKING .

WARNING:

Wear protective eyewear.

-- Perform road test and at the same time the ATF temperature must reach at least 90 °C (194 °F) to bleed the ATF circuit.

When air escapes the ATF circuit, the ATF level in the transmission decreases. Therefore, the ATF level must be checked again later after the fluid cools.

-- Let the ATF cool down below 30 °C (86 °F).

-- Check the ATF level again. Refer to Checking .
