    3. Switch off the air conditioning (A/C) system and other electrical components.
  7. CAUTION: Using Land Rover approved diagnostic equipment, make sure the transmission temperature is between 30°C (85°F) and 50°C (122°F) before starting the fluid level check.
    • Apply and hold the brake pedal.
    • Select reverse gear and wait for 10 seconds.
    • Select drive, then manual 1st gear and wait for 10 seconds.
    • Select 2nd gear and wait for 10 seconds.
    • Select Park (P) on the TCS.
    • Raise the engine speed to 2000 rpm and hold for 30 seconds. Then return to idle speed.
    • Using Land Rover approved diagnostic equipment, check the transmission fluid temperature.
    • If the transmission oil temperature is lower than 30°C (86°F). Allow the transmission to warm up above 30°C (86°F) with the engine idling in the P position, then proceed with the transmission fluid level check.
    • If the transmission oil temperature is above 50°C (122°F), switch off the engine and allow the transmission to cool down, then repeat steps  7 and  8.
  10. Raise and support the vehicle.
  11. CAUTION: Only continue with the fluid level check if the transmission temperature is between 30°C (86°C) and 50°C (122°).
    NOTE: Use a suitable container to collect escaping fluid.

    • To make sure the transmission fill plug is torqued to the correct specification. Using the special tool and torque wrench the following calculation steps must be followed.
    • Step 1. Multiply 35 Nm by the effective length of the torque wrench (1).
    • Step 2. Add the effective length of the special tool (2) to the effective length of the torque wrench (1).
    • Step 3. Divide the total of step 1 by the total of step 2.
    • Step 4. Set the torque wrench to the figure arrived at in step 3.
    • Tighten the transmission fluid fill plug to the torque given by the calculation.
    • Remove the special tool.
