AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER LINE FLUSHING
     CAUTION
     If replacing the transmission with a new one, if overhauling the existing transmission, or if the A/T fluid has deteriorated or is contaminated, the A/T fluid cooler line must always be flushed out.
       
  1. Remove the hose shown in the illustration which allows the A/T fluid to flow from the A/T fluid cooler (built into the radiator) to the transmission.
     CAUTION
     The engine should be stopped within one minute of it being started. If the A/T fluid has all been discharged before this, stop the engine at that point.
  1. Start the engine and discharge the A/T fluid.
    Driving conditions: N range, idling
    2. Discharge amount: Approx. 3.5 L
     CAUTION
     Stop pouring in the A/T fluid once 3.5 L has been poured in.
  1. Pour in new A/T fluid through the oil filler tube.
    2. Amount to add: Approx. 3.5 L
  1. Repeat the operation in step 2 and 3.
    2. NOTE: Carry out steps 2 and 3 so that at least 8.0 L has been discharged from the cooler hose. After this, discharge a small quantity of A/T fluid and check for contamination. If the A/T fluid is contaminated, repeat steps 2 and 3.
  1. Carry out the procedure in "Automatic Transmission Fluid Replacement" from step 2 onwards.
