   • Be sure to cool the transmission, idling for at least 30 seconds before starting the next test.

  1. Check the automatic transmission/transaxle fluid level and condition. Refer to Transmission Fluid Level and Condition Check .
  2. Chock the front and rear wheels and apply the parking brake fully.
