- Then move the shifter to Drive and then quickly back and forth between Drive and Neutral (within 1.5 seconds) for at least 6 seconds. The car will be in fluid temperature detection mode when you see the up and down shift indicators illuminate together for 2 seconds and then turn off.
- Shift the car back into Park and remove the jumper wire.
- Leave the engine running.
- You should see the shift indicator showing in Park. If the up arrow is showing your transmission is too hot and you need to wait for it to cool off and try again, if the down arrow is showing the transmission needs to warm up. If both arrows are showing then the temperature is within the correct range (108F-117F).
- With both arrows showing and the engine idling, remove the overflow plug and drain into the pan.
- If fluid doesn't come out, open the refill plug and add fluid until it drains from the overflow at a slow trickle, otherwise wait for fluid to drain until it drains at a slow trickle.
- Reinstall the overflow plug with a new o-ring lightly coated in fresh ATF and tighten.

Are all these steps in the bottom for levelling the fluid done with the engine running? like when both the shift lamps are showing, do i open the overflow plug with the engine running or turned off?
