I'm confused. Am I supposed to perform the level adjustment with the engine RUNNING?! (In about one ft of space)
2) When shorting TC terminal circuit
(1) Short the data link connectors No. 13 and No. 4.
(2) Start the engine.
(3) Turn off all parts effecting an electrical load such as air conditioner, audio and lights.
(4) Operate the select lever in P R N D M D N R P to circulate ATF in the transmission.
(5) Operate between N D within 1.5 sec. for a continuous 6 sec. or more to switch to the oil amount
adjustment mode. When the vehicle enters into oil amount adjustment mode, the upshift/downshift permitted
indicator lamps [ ]/[ ] in the combination meter light up simultaneously for 2 sec. and turn off
with no relation to the range position.
(6) After changing to oil pressure adjustment mode, switch to the “P” range.
(7) Remove the short of data link connectors No. 13 and No. 4.
(8) Check the status of the upshift/downshift permitted indicator lamps [ ]/[ ].
CAUTION:
If only the [ ] indicator light is illuminated or both [ ] and [ ] are illuminated simultaneously, stop
performing procedures and leave the vehicle in a cool location. Start over and repeat procedures
from Step (1) after the ATF temperature decreases to a point where only the downshift permitted indicator
light [ ] when shifting to oil amount adjustment mode.

(9) Adjust the oil as soon as the proper temperature for oil amount adjustment is reached.
CAUTION:
Always be sure to adjust the ATF when at the proper temperature.
3) Remove the overflow plug and check the oil amount when at the proper temperature for oil amount inspection.
• The oil amount is proper when fluid flows out of the overflow tube and then the flow of the fluid is thin.
• If fluid does not flow out of the overflow tube, fill through the refill hole until fluid flows out of the overflow
tube. The oil amount is proper when the flow of the fluid is thin.
4) Install the overflow plug using a new gasket.
CAUTION:
Tighten the overflow plug with the ATF temperature at 43°C — 47°C (109.4°F — 116.6°F) (indicator
lamps [ ] and [ ] are illuminated simultaneously).
5) Perform final tightening of the refill plug using a new O-ring.
6) Install engine under cover No. 2.
7) Install engine under cover No. 1.
8) Lower the vehicle.
9) Turn the ignition to OFF.
