PROCEDURE

1. PRECAUTIONS AND WORK DESCRIPTION

a. The K313 continuously variable transaxle assembly does not have an oil filler tube or oil level gauge.
When adding fluid, add fluid through the refill hole in the continuously variable transaxle assembly. The
fluid level can be adjusted by draining excess fluid (allowing excess fluid to overflow) through the No. 1
transmission oil filler tube of the transaxle oil (CVT) pan sub-assembly.
HINT:
"Overflow" indicates the condition under which fluid comes out of the overflow plug hole.

b. When adding fluid, add the specified amount of fluid while the engine assembly is cold. Then, warm up
the engine assembly to circulate the fluid in the continuously variable transaxle assembly and adjust
the fluid level with the engine idling at the specified fluid temperature.

c. The K313 continuously variable transaxle assembly requires Toyota Genuine CVT fluid FE.

d. When adjusting the fluid level, park the vehicle on level ground (make sure that the tilt angle from the
front to rear of the vehicle is within +/-1°).

e. When adjusting the fluid level, turn off all electrical systems, such as the air conditioning, lighting
system, electric fan and audio system, to reduce load.

f. The fluid temperature shown in the text is "A/T Oil Temperature 1" displayed on the Techstream.

g. Fluid level adjustment should be performed according to the following procedure and notes.

3. PREPARATION WORK

NOTE: If the continuously variable transaxle assembly is hot

(fluid temperature is high), wait until the fluid temperature
becomes the same as the ambient temperature before starting
the following procedure (recommended fluid temperature:
approximately 20°C [68°F]).

a. Lift the vehicle.

NOTE:
a. If fluid comes out after removing the overflow plug, wait
until the fluid flow slows and only drops come out.
b. If fluid comes out, it is not necessary to perform the initial
filling procedure. After checking the tightening torque of
the No. 1 transmission oil filler tube, temporarily install the
overflow plug.

c. Using a 6 mm hexagon socket wrench, check that the No. 1 transmission oil filler tube is tightened to
the specified torque.

/ OFF".

b. When not using the Techstream:

a. Remove SST from terminals 13 (TC) and 4 (CG).

NOTE: Make sure that terminals 13 (TC) and 4 (CG) are

not connected. If the terminals are connected, the fluid level
cannot be precisely adjusted due to fluctuations in engine
speed.

HINT:
a. Disconnecting the terminals activates engine idle speed control mode.
b. In engine idle speed control mode, engine idle speed control starts when the fluid temperature
reaches the specified value and the engine speed is maintained.
c. Even after the terminals are disconnected, fluid temperature detection mode remains active
until the ignition switch is turned off.

k. Adjust the fluid temperature to the fluid level adjustment temperature.

a. Check the fluid temperature by monitoring the D shift indicator.

HINT:
a. In fluid temperature detection mode, the D shift indicator comes on, goes off, or blinks
depending on the fluid temperature.
b. The fluid filling procedure should be performed when the D shift indicator is on (the fluid
temperature is within the fluid level adjustment temperature range).

b. Adjust the fluid temperature.

a. If the D shift indicator is off [Below Fluid Level Adjustment Temperature: 35°C (95°F) or less]:
Warm up the engine with the engine idling in engine idle speed control mode until the D shift
indicator turns on.
a. If the D shift indicator is on [Fluid Level Adjustment Temperature: 35 to 45°C (95 to 113°F)]:
Immediately proceed to Adjust Fluid Level (Step 7).
a. If the D shift indicator is blinking [Above Fluid Level Adjustment Temperature: 45°C (113°F) or
more]: Stop the engine and wait until the fluid temperature drops to 35°C (95°F) or less (the D

WARNING: Be careful as the fluid coming out of the

overflow plug hole is hot.

c. Check the amount of fluid that comes out of the overflow plug hole.
a. If the amount of fluid that comes out of the overflow plug hole is large, proceed to *1.
b. If no fluid comes out of the overflow plug hole, proceed to *2.

comes out of the overflow plug hole, then only fluid remaining
in the No. 1 transmission oil filler tube has come out. This is not
considered to be overflow.

d. *1:
If the amount of fluid that comes out of the overflow plug hole is large, wait until the fluid flow slows and
only drips come out.
