CHECK
WARNING:
- Observe due care when working near a hot exhaust system.
- Observe due care when draining, as the fluid can be very hot.
NOTE:
- This procedure contains some variation in the illustrations depending
on the vehicle specification, but the
essential information is always correct.
- This procedure contains illustrations showing certain components
removed to provide extra clarity.
1.
- The following steps must be observed before starting the automatic
transmission fluid level check.
- The vehicle must be on a horizontal ramp.
- Make sure that the Electric Park Brake (EPB) is applied.
- Make sure the Transmission Control Switch (TCS) is in the Park (P)
position.
2. Raise and support the vehicle on a suitable 2 post lift.
3. Remove the engine undershield.
4.
- Remove the 20 bolts.
- Remove the transmission undershield.
5.
- Remove the 8 bolts.
- Remove the transmission undershield.
6. Lower the vehicle.
7.
8.
- Apply and hold the brake pedal.
- Select reverse gear and wait for 10 seconds.
- Select drive, then manual 1st gear and wait for 10 seconds.
- Select 2nd gear and wait for 10 seconds.
- Select Park (P) on the Transmission Control Switch (TCS).
9. Raise the engine speed to 2000 Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) and hold for
30 seconds. Then return to idle
speed.
10.
- Using the JLR approved diagnostic equipment, check the transmission
fluid temperature.
- If the transmission fluid temperature is lower than 30ºC (86ºF). Allow
the transmission to warm up
above 30ºC (86ºF) with the engine idling in the (P) position, then proceed
with the transmission fluid
level check.
- If the transmission fluid temperature is above 50ºC (122ºF), switch off
the engine and allow the
transmission to cool down, then repeat steps 8 and 9.
11.
- Remove and discard the transmission fluid filler plug.
Special Tool(s): 307-452
- If fluid flows out of the filler hole, proceed to adjustment step 4.
- If fluid does not flow out of the filler hole, proceed to adjustment
step 1.
ADJUSTMENT
1.
Fill the transmission with the recommended transmission fluid until fluid
flows out of the transmission filler
hole.
2.
Allow the transmission fluid to drain from the transmission fluid filler plug
hole until the flow stops.
3.
WARNING:
This step is only required for 3.0L Petrol vehicles.
Use a suitable tool to drain 350ml of transmission fluid from the automatic
transmission filler hole.
4.
5.
WARNING:
Make sure the transmission fluid filler plug is tightened to the correct
specification. The torque
correction formula below must be followed to prevent damage to the transmission
case.
- To make sure the transmission fill plug is torqued to the correct
specification. Using the special tool
and torque wrench the following calculation steps must be followed.
- Step 1. Multiply 35 Nm by the effective length of the torque wrench (1).
- Step 2. Add the effective length of the special tool (2) to the
effective length of the torque wrench (1).
- Step 3. Divide the total of step 1 by the total of step 2.
- Step 4. Set the torque wrench to the figure arrived at in step 3.
- Step 5. Tighten the automatic transmission fluid fill plug to the torque
given by the calculation.
6. Clean the area around the filler plug, wipe away any excess fluid and
remove the container.
7.
- Install the transmission undershield.
- Install and tighten the 8 bolts.
Torque: 20Nm
8.
- Install the transmission undershield.
- Install and tighten the 20 bolts.
Torque: 10Nm
9. Install the engine undershield.
