    MY99 VehiCROSS Service Manual 7A-9


    Checking Transmission Fluid Level and Condition
    Checking fluid level and condition (color and odor) at regular intervals will provide early diagnosis information
    about the transmission. This information may be used to correct a condition that, if not detected early, could result
    in major transmission repairs.

    IMPORTANT: When new, automatic transmission fluid is red in color. As the vehicle is driven, the
    transmission fluid will begin to look darker in color. The color may eventually appear light brown.

    A dark brown color with burnt odor may indicate excessive fluid deterioration and signal a need for fluid change.

    Fluid Level
    When adding or changing fluid, use only DEXRON ฎ—lli.

    Refer to Maintenance and Lubrication in General Information section for maintenance information and servicing

    interval.

    CAUTION! DO NOT OVERFILL.
    Overtilling will cause foaming, loss of fluid, abnormal shifting and possible damage to the transmission.
    1. Park the vehicle on level ground and apply the parking brake firmly.

    2. Check fluid level with engine running at idle.

    Notice: Be sure that transmission fluid temperature is below 30” C (86” F).

    3. Move the selector lever through all gear ranges.

    4. Move the selector lever to “Park’.

    5. Let engine idle for 3 minutes and open the overfill screw (1).

    6. Add released transmission fluid until it flows out over the overfill screw opening.

    7. Let engine idle until a fluid temperature between 32”C (90”F) and 57”C (1 35”F) is reached, then close
    the overfill screw (1).

    Torque: 38 N.m (28 lb ft)
    Notice: To prevent fluid leaks, the overfill screw and oil drain screws gasket must be replaced each time
    these screws are removed.

    Notice: Check transmission fluid temperature with scan tool.

    Minimum fluid level —* 57”C (135” F)
    Maximum fluid level —~ 32”C (90”F)


    CAUTION! Do not open overfill screw with engine stopped.
    CAUTION! DO NOT CHECK FLUID LEVEL UNDER THESE CONDITIONS:
    • Immediately after driving at sustained highway speeds.

    • In heavy city traffic during hot weather.
