CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note

This transmission requires Toyota Genuine ATF WS.
After servicing the transmission, you must follow the ATF adjustment procedure.
Maintain the vehicle in a horizontal position while adjusting the fluid level.

PROCEDURE

PRELIMINARY PROCEDURES (w/ ATF Warmer)

Using compressed air or equivalent, blow dust off the thermostat cap to clean it.

*5	Pin

Using a screwdriver, push in the shaft of the thermostat.

Tech Tips

Pushed amount: 5.5 to 7.0 mm (0.217 to 0.276 in.)
Push in the shaft until the screwdriver contacts the step inside the cap.

With the shaft of the thermostat pressed, insert a pin into a hole on the side of the thermostat cap. Insert the pin until it passes through the hole on the other side of the thermostat cap to fix the shaft in place.

Tech Tips

Pin diameter: 1.0 to 1.8 mm (0.0394 to 0.0709 in.)

BEFORE FILLING 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.
Keep the vehicle level while adjusting the fluid level.
Proceed to the "Transmission Pan Fill" procedures if you replaced the entire transmission, transmission pan, drain plug, valve body and/or torque converter.

Proceed to the "Transmission Fill" procedures after removing the refill plug if you replaced the transmission hose and/or output shaft oil seal.

TRANSMISSION PAN FILL

Text in Illustration
*1	Overflow Tube
*a	Specified Fluid Level

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

TRANSMISSION FILL

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

Standard Capacity

Repair	Fill Amount
Transmission pan and drain plug removal	2.1 liters (2.2 US qts, 1.9 Imp. qts)
Transmission valve body removal	4.7 liters (5.0 US qts, 4.1 Imp. qts)
Torque converter removal	6.1 liters (6.4 US qts, 5.4 Imp. qts)

Reinstall the refill plug to prevent the fluid from splashing.

Tech Tips

If you cannot add the listed amount of fluid, do the following:
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 for 30 seconds with the engine idling.
5. Stop the engine.
6. Remove the refill plug and add fluid.
7. Reinstall the refill plug.

ADJUST FLUID TEMPERATURE

Note

The fluid temperature can be confirmed by checking the indicator light in the meter or by using the GTS. When using the GTS, it is necessary to change to temperature detection mode in order to idle the vehicle appropriately.

When using the GTS:
1. Turn the ignition switch off.
2. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Connect the TC and TE1.
5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / A/T Oil Temperature 1.
6. for 1VD-FTV:
  
  Check the ATF temperature.
  Note
  - The ATF temperature must be between 41 to 46°C (106 to 115°F).
  - If the ATF temperature is not between 41 to 46°C (106 to 115°F), turn the ignition switch off and wait until the fluid temperature drops between 41 to 46°C (106 to 115°F).
7. for 1UR-FE:
  
  Check the ATF temperature.
  Note
  - The ATF temperature must be between 43 to 48°C (109 to 118°F).
  - If the ATF temperature is not between 43 to 48°C (109 to 118°F), turn the ignition switch off and wait until the fluid temperature drops between 43 to 48°C (109 to 118°F).
8. for 1VD-FTV:
  
  According to the display on the GTS, perform the Active Test "Connect the TC and TE1".
9. for 1UR-FE:
  
  According to the display on the GTS, perform the Active Test "Connect the TC and TE1".
  
  Tech Tips
  
  Indicator lights of the combination meter blink to output DTCs when TC and TE1 are connected.
10. Start the engine.
  
  Note
  
  Check that electrical systems such as the air conditioning system, audio system and lighting system are off.

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 S, then change the gears from 1st to 6th. Then return the shift lever to P.

Tech Tips

Slowly move the shift lever to circulate the fluid through each part of the transmission.

Move the shift lever to D, and quickly move back and forth between N and D (once within 1.5 seconds) for at least 6 seconds. This will activate the fluid temperature detection mode.

Standard condition
Indicator light (D) remains illuminated for 2 seconds and then turns off.

When using the GTS:
1. Return the shift lever to P and press OFF on the Active Test display.
When not using the GTS:
1. Return the shift lever to P and disconnect terminals 13 (TC) and 4 (CG).
for 1VD-FTV:

Allow the engine to idle until the fluid temperature reaches 41 to 46°C (106 to 115°F).
for 1UR-FE:

Allow the engine to idle until the fluid temperature reaches 43 to 48°C (109 to 118°F).

for 1VD-FTV:

The indicator (D) will come on again when the fluid temperature reaches 41°C (106°F) and will blink when it exceeds 46°C (115°F).

2. Remove the refill plug and gasket.
3. Add ATF into the refill hole until ATF flows from the overflow tube.
4. Wait until the overflow slows to a trickle and proceed to the "Complete" procedures.
COMPLETE
1. Install a new gasket and the overflow plug.
