AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID

BEFORE REFILL TRANSMISSION

This transmission requires Toyota Genuine ATF WS transmission fluid.
After servicing the transmission, you must refill the transmission with the correct amount of fluid.
Maintain the vehicle in a horizontal position while adjusting the fluid level.
If the entire transmission, transmission pan, drain plug, valve body and/or torque converter is removed and installed, proceed to Fill Transmission Pan with Fluid.
If the transmission hose, output shaft oil seal and/or radiator is replaced, remove the refill plug, and then proceed to Fill Transmission .

FILL TRANSMISSION PAN WITH FLUID

Remove the refill plug and overflow plug.
Fill the transmission through the refill hole until fluid begins to trickle out from the overflow tube.
Reinstall the overflow plug.

FILL TRANSMISSION

Fill the transmission with the amount of fluid listed in the table below.

Reinstall the refill plug to prevent the fluid from spilling out.

Standard Capacity

Repair	Specified Condition
Transmission pan and drain plug removal	3.4 liters (3.59 US qts, 3.00 Imp. qts)
Transmission valve body removal	4.7 liters (4.97 US qts, 4.14 Imp. qts)
Torque converter removal	6.7 liters (7.1 US qts, 5.9 Imp. qts)

Tech Tips

If the amount of fluid listed in the table cannot be added, perform the next step.

When the amount of fluid listed in the table cannot be added:
1. Install the refill plug.
2. Allow the engine to idle with the air conditioning off.
3. Move the shift lever through the entire gear range to circulate fluid.
4. Wait 30 seconds with the engine idling.
5. Stop the engine.
6. Remove the refill plug and add fluid.
7. Reinstall the refill plug.

CHECK FLUID TEMPERATURE

Note

The fluid temperature can be confirmed by checking the D sift indicator in the meter or by intelligent tester. It is necessary to change to fluid temperature detection mode.

Tech Tips

The fluid temperature should be less than 30°C (86°F) before starting the engine.

When using the intelligent tester:
1. Turn the engine switch off.
2. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
3. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
  Note
  - Do not start engine yet.
  - Check that electrical systems such as the air conditioning system, audio system and lighting system are off.
4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Active Test / Connect the TC and TE1.
5. Select the item Data List / A/T Oil Temperature 1.
6. Check A/T Oil Temperature 1.
  Note
  - If the fluid temperature is below 35°C (95°F), proceed to the next step. (Recommended ATF temperature 42°C (108°F) or less.)
  - If the fluid temperature is 42°C (108°F) or more, turn the engine switch off and wait until the fluid temperature drops below 35°C (95°F).
7. Push the active test menu: Connect the TC and TE1 / ON.
8. Start the engine.
When not using the intelligent tester (using D sift indicator):
1. Using SST, connect terminals 13 (TC) and 4 (CG) of the DLC3.
  
  SST
  
  09843-18040
2. Start the engine.
  
  Note
  
  Check that electrical systems such as the air conditioning system, audio system and lighting system are off.
  
  Tech Tips
  
  Indicator lights of the meter blink to output DTCs when terminals TC and CG are connected.
Slowly move the shift lever from P to M. Then return the shift lever to P.
Move the shift lever to D, then quickly move it back and forth between N and D (at least once every 1.5 seconds) for at least 6 seconds. This will activate the fluid temperature detection mode.

Tech Tips

While moving the shift lever between N and D a few times, the N indicator in the combination meter will not illuminate for 4 seconds even if the shift lever is moved to N. This indicates that the transmission fluid temperature detection mode has been entered.
When using the intelligent tester:
1. Return the shift lever to P and press "OFF" on the Active Test display.
When not using the intelligent tester:
1. Return the shift lever to P and disconnect terminals 13 (TC) and 4 (CG).
Allow the engine to idle until the fluid temperature reaches 35°C (95°F).
The P indicator turns on again when the fluid temperature reaches 35°C (95°F) and blinks when it exceeds 42°C (108°F).

CHECK FLUID LEVEL

Note

The fluid temperature must be between 35°C (95°F) and 42°C (108°F) to check the fluid level.

When the indicator light (P) turns on, lift the vehicle up immediately.

Indicator Light will Indicate the ATF Temperature
Below Proper Temperature	Proper Temperature	Higher than Proper Temperature
Date List: [A/T Oil Temperature 1] 35°C (95°F) or less	Date List: [A/T Oil Temperature 1] 35 to 42°C (95 to 108°F)	Date List: [A/T Oil Temperature 1] 42°C (108°F) or higher
D sift indicator: Turn off	D sift indicator: Turn on	D sift indicator: Blinking

Note

Perform fluid level inspection while the indicator light is on.

Remove the overflow plug with the engine idling.
Check that the fluid comes out of the overflow tube.

If fluid does not come out, proceed to the next step.

If fluid comes out, wait until the overflow slows to a trickle and proceed to Complete.

REFILL AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID

Install the overflow plug.
Stop the engine.
Remove the refill plug.
Add 0.4 liters (0.42 US qts, 0.35 Imp. qts) of fluid.
Allow the engine to idle and wait for 10 seconds.
Repeat Check Fluid Level.

COMPLETE

Install the overflow plug and a new gasket.

Torque:

20 N*m { 204 kgf*cm, 15 ft.*lbf }
Stop the engine.
Install the refill plug and a new gasket.

Torque:

39 N*m { 400 kgf*cm, 29 ft.*lbf }

Tech Tips

Make sure that the tightening torque is between 24 and 55 N*m (240 and 560 kgf*cm, 17 and 40 ft.*lbf).
Check the fluid leaks.
