REPLACEMENT

PROCEDURE

1. REPLACE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID

(a) Lift the vehicle. [*1]

NOTICE:

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°).

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

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

HINT:

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

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

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

(f) Add automatic transmission fluid to the refill hole until it flows out of the overflow hole. [*6] Text in Illustration *a Refill Hole *b Overflow Hole NOTICE: 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.

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

(h) Using a 5 mm hexagon socket wrench, temporarily install the gasket and overflow plug to the automatic transmission assembly. [*8] HINT: Reuse the old gasket as the overflow plug will be removed again.

for 2GR-FKS

3.1 liters (3.3 US qts, 2.7 Imp. qts)

for 2TR-FE

HINT:

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