5.Keep the engine running and press the Trip/Fuel button until TRANS TEMP (Transmission Temperature) displays on the Driver Information Center (DIC).

6.Using the TRANS TEMP reading, determine and perform the appropriate check procedure. If the TRANS TEMP reading is not within the required temperature ranges, allow

the vehicle to cool, or operate the vehicle until the appropriate transmission fluid temperature is reached.

Cold Check Procedure

Use this procedure only as a reference to determine if the transmission has enough fluid to be operated safely until a hot check procedure can be made. The hot check procedure is the most accurate method to check the fluid level. Perform the hot check procedure at the first opportunity. Use this cold check procedure to check fluid level when the transmission temperature is between 80°F and 90°F (27°C and 32°C).

1.Locate the transmission dipstick at the rear of the engine compartment, on the passenger’s side of the vehicle.

The dipstick handle has this graphic. See Engine Compartment Overview on page 406 for

more information.

2.Flip the handle up, and then pull out the dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag or paper towel.

3.Install the dipstick by pushing it back in all the way, wait three seconds, and then pull it back out again.

4.Check both sides of the dipstick, and read the lower level. Repeat the check procedure to verify the reading.
