PROCEDURE
REMOVE FRONT FENDER APRON SEAL LH
REPLACE AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID
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 the tilt angle from the front to rear and side to side of the vehicle is within +/- 1°).
Remove the refill plug and gasket from the rear transaxle cover sub-assembly. [#2]
Using a 6 mm hexagon socket wrench, remove the overflow plug and gasket from the automatic transaxle oil pan sub-assembly. [#3]
| *1 | No. 1 Transmission Oil Filler Tube |
Using a 6 mm hexagon socket wrench, remove the No. 1 transmission oil filler tube from the automatic transaxle oil pan sub-assembly and drain the automatic transaxle fluid. [#4]
Measure the amount of automatic transaxle fluid drained. [#5]
Tech Tips
Add the same amount of automatic transaxle fluid in step [#8].
Using a 6 mm hexagon socket wrench, install the No. 1 transmission oil filler tube to the automatic transaxle oil pan sub-assembly. [#6]
Using a 6 mm hexagon socket wrench, temporarily install the gasket and overflow plug to the automatic transaxle oil pan sub-assembly. [#7]
Tech Tips
Reuse the old gasket as the overflow plug will be removed again to adjust the automatic transaxle fluid level.
Add automatic transaxle fluid to the refill hole using the same amount of automatic transaxle fluid drained in step [#5]. [#8]
Note
Use Toyota Genuine ATF WS.
Temporarily install the gasket and refill plug to avoid automatic transaxle fluid spillage. [#9]

ADJUST AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID TEMPERATURE (when Using the GTS)
ADJUST AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID TEMPERATURE (when Not Using the GTS)
ADJUST AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID LEVEL
REBUILD WORK
INSTALL FRONT FENDER APRON SEAL LH
ATF THERMAL DEGRADATION ESTIMATE RESET
Note
Perform ATF Thermal Degradation Estimate Reset if approximately 50% or more of the ATF has been replaced during a repair or a similar operation.
