Today’s Modern Maintenance Procedures


You need to monitor the fluid tempera- ture during the fill procedure


If you were to check the level


at normal operating temperature, the expanded fluid would read high. If you then drained the fluid back to the full level, the fluid would actually be low. This would cause the normal com- plaints of delayed engagements, loss of pump prime, and slipping or flaring on turns. You need to monitor the fluid tem-


perature during the fill procedure. The use of a capable scan tool makes this much easier, but you can use a digital laser temperature probe, (figure 10) digital temperature testing equipment, or a multimeter with a temperature probe adapter (figure 11). However you monitor the tempera-


ture, it’s imperative to do so to obtain the correct level for each vehicle.
