AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID REPLACEMENT

PROCEDURE


  1. REPLACE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID


    1. Lift the vehicle. [*1]

      Note

      Set the vehicle on a lift so that the vehicle is kept level when it is lifted up (make sure that the tilt angle from the front to rear of the vehicle is within +/-1°).

      Remove the drain plug and gasket from the automatic transmission assembly and drain the automatic transmission fluid. [*2]

    3. Temporarily install the gasket and drain plug to the automatic transmission assembly. [*3]

      Tech Tips

      Reuse the old gasket as the drain plug will be removed again.

    4. B001IAV

      Remove the refill plug and O-ring from the automatic transmission assembly. [*4]

    5. B001G15

      Using a 5 mm hexagon socket wrench, remove the overflow plug and gasket from the automatic transmission assembly. [*5]

      *a Refill Hole
      *b Overflow Hole

      Add automatic transmission fluid to the refill hole until it flows out of the overflow hole. [*6]

      Note


      • Use Toyota Genuine ATF WS.

      • Be sure to add automatic transmission fluid slowly. If automatic transmission fluid is added quickly, the automatic transmission fluid may hit internal parts and bounce back, resulting in automatic transmission fluid coming out of the refill hole.

    7. B001GQG

      Wait until the automatic transmission fluid flow slows and only drips come out. [*7]

    8. B001G15

      Using a 5 mm hexagon socket wrench, temporarily install the gasket and overflow plug to the automatic transmission assembly. [*8]

      Tech Tips

      Reuse the old gasket as the overflow plug will be removed again.

    9. Add the amount of automatic transmission fluid specified for removal and installation of the automatic transmission oil pan sub-assembly to the refill hole. [*9]

      Specified amount of fluid
      for 2TR-FE
      0.8 liters (0.8 US qts, 0.7 Imp. qts)
      for 1GD-FTV, 1GR-FE
      2.4 liters (2.5 US qts, 2.1 Imp. qts)

      Tech Tips

      If the specified amount of automatic transmission fluid cannot be added, perform steps [*10] to [*15].

    10. Temporarily install the O-ring and refill plug to the automatic transmission assembly. [*10]

      Tech Tips

      Reuse the old O-ring as the refill plug will be removed again.

    11. Lower the vehicle. [*11]

    12. Start the engine. [*12]

      Note

      To reduce load, make sure that all electrical systems, such as the air conditioning, lighting system, electric fan and audio system, are off.
