Keep the dipstick pointed down to get an accurate reading. Check both sides and read the lower level. 5. Always recheck the fluid level. If inconsistent readings persist, check the transmission breather to be sure it is clean and unclogged. If readings are still inconsistent, see your dealer. If readings are consistent, continue with the procedure. 6. If the level is within the cold area, reinstall the dipstick. You may operate the transmission until the fluid is hot enough to perform a hot check. If the level is not within the cold area, add or drain fluid as necessary to bring the level into the middle of the cold cross-hatched area. Reinstall the dipstick. Then, operate the transmission until the fluid is hot enough to perform a hot check. Note: • When adding fluid, be careful not to overfill. Generally, less than 0.5 L (1 pint) of fluid is needed. • When fluid is added, it may take 15 minutes or more before an accurate reading is obtained. • When reinstalling the dipstick, make sure to flip the handle back down to lock the dipstick in place. After a cold check, perform a hot check at the first opportunity, once the fluid reaches normal operating temperature. . . . 312
AKENG44_Escalade Page 313 Wednesday, July 16, 2008 12:22 PM Section 4 Hot Check Procedure Perform this fluid check procedure when the transmission temperature is in the range of 71-93°C (160-200°F). The hot check procedure is the most accurate method to check the fluid level. After a cold check, perform a hot check at the first opportunity, once the fluid reaches normal operating temperature. The fluid level rises as fluid temperature increases, so it is important to ensure the transmission temperature is within the proper range. 1. Prepare your vehicle as previously described under "Checking the Fluid Level". 2. Locate the transmission fluid dipstick. See "Engine Compartment" earlier in this section to determine the location. 3. With the engine running at idle speed, lift the handle and remove the dipstick. Wipe it clean and reinsert it by pushing it down all the way. 4. Wait for 3 seconds, remove the dipstick again and check the fluid level. Keep the dipstick pointed down to get an accurate reading. Check both sides and read the lower level. – – – – 313 . . .

Section 4<br />
Hot Check Procedure<br />
Perform this fluid check procedure<br />
when the transmission temperature<br />
is in the range <strong>of</strong> 71-93°C<br />
(160-200°F).<br />
The hot check procedure is the<br />
most accurate method to check<br />
the fluid level.<br />
After a cold check, perform a hot<br />
check at the first opportunity,<br />
once the fluid reaches normal<br />
operating temperature.<br />
The fluid level rises as fluid temperature<br />
increases, so it is important<br />
to ensure the transmission temperature<br />
is within the proper range.<br />
1. Prepare your vehicle as<br />
previously described under<br />
"Checking the Fluid Level".<br />
2. Locate the transmission fluid<br />
dipstick.<br />
See "Engine Compartment"<br />
earlier in this section to<br />
determine the location.<br />
3. With the engine running at<br />
idle speed, lift the handle and<br />
remove the dipstick. Wipe<br />
it clean and reinsert it by<br />
pushing it down all the way.<br />
4. Wait for 3 seconds, remove<br />
the dipstick again and check<br />
the fluid level.<br />
Keep the dipstick pointed<br />
down to get an accurate<br />
reading.<br />
Check both sides and read the<br />
lower level.<br />
