Check of level of the AT working liquid

Correctness of the ATF level is one of critical operational parameters of the models equipped with AT. Excessive falling of the ATF level can lead to pro-slipping of the hydrotransformer whereas the excessive amount of liquid leads to its foaming, to formation of leaks and is fraught with a transmission exit out of operation.

Check of the ATF level has to be made at the transmission warmed up to the normal working temperature (20 – 30 km of a run, 70 – 80 °C).

It is not necessary to make check of the ATF level right after operation of the car at high speeds, in the conditions of a city cycle in hot weather, or after towage of the trailer, previously let's liquid cool down within about 30 minutes.


 PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Park the car on the flat horizontal platform with a hard coating, strongly cock the parking brake. If the engine cold, start it and warm up up to the normal working temperature on single turns. At the working engine squeeze out a pedal of a foot brake and serially carry out the AT selector lever through all provisions, having in conclusion returned it to situation "P".
2. Without suppressing the engine, take the measuring probe from the directing tube (address an accompanying illustration). Fingers remove traces of ATF from a probe edge and to the touch estimate its condition.
3. Carefully wipe an edge with pure rags and enter the probe back into the directing tube, having densely put a cover on a mouth.
4. Again take the probe from a mouth and determine the ATF level in a transmission case by length of the moistened site of an edge (address an accompanying illustration). In case of need make the corresponding adjustment, through a funnel having added to transmission liquid of the required grade, – ATF alivayta directly to a mouth of the directing tube of the measuring probe.
5. Rise in the ATF level from the lower bound of working range of the probe to top requires about 0.6 l of liquid – add ATF in the small portions in stages, every time checking level.
6. Along with level it is necessary to check as well a condition of ATF. If the liquid moistening the end of an edge of the probe has a dark red-brown shade, or smells of ashes, ATF should be replaced (see the Section ATF Replacement of automatic transmission and main transfer). In the absence of confidence in correctness of assessment of a condition of transmission liquid compare it on color and a smell to fresh ATF.
