ATF Level Check
Precautions: Precautions for Diagnosing Trouble · Precautions for Disassembly and Reassembly · Precautions for Transmission / Transaxle · General safety (00)
NOTICE:
Failure to take the following precautions when checking the ATF may cause failure of the A/T.
•Do not use any fluid other than the specified ATF. Use of any other fluids may cause juddering or other faulty conditions.
•Avoid overfilling the A/T. If the A/T is filled with excessive fluid, the fluid can foam and flow out through the breather.
The resulting loss of fluid may cause slippage and failure of the transaxle.
•Use only lint-free paper for wiping. Do not use cloth or rags.
•Do not reuse ATF.
•Avoid overfilling the A/T. If the A/T is filled with excessive fluid, the fluid can foam and flow out through the breather.

9)With ignition “OFF”, connect SUZUKI scan tool to DLC (1).
10)Start engine and display “Data List” mode on SUZUKI scan tool.
11)Drive vehicle so that “ATF temperature” reaches 65 °C (149 °F).
12)While keeping engine idling, depress brake pedal fully. Move shift select lever from P to D, maintaining for 2 seconds or longer in each position. Repeat this process twice.
