The Transmission fill plug on these models is located on the bottom of the pan. There are 2 plugs located there. One is the drain plug and the other is to fill/check. The fluid should be high enough to slowly trickle out of the hole. This has to be checked while the engine is running and in gear. This is VERY DANGEROUS process. It is advisable to have your local shop do this for you. I had to change the fluid in one about 6 months ago and was very disappointed in the design. I would recommend having the dealer do this for the reason that they are familiar with the concept of how it is done. Most shops will not be able to accomplish this with accurate results. Again, This is a very dangerous due to the vehicle having to be running and in gear before and reading can be obtained. If not runnin it will be over full.
how do you find out how to check the transmition in a isuzu rodeo
The check trans light may light up in an Isuzu Rodeo, because there are problems with the transmission, The light will show up on the cars dashboard.
if it is an automatic then yes, if it is a standard transmission then no
On the 2002 Rodeo the transmission is sealed and is non servicable by the owner. You cannot even check the fluid level so I advise taking it to an Isuzu repair shop.
there is 2 plugs on the bottom pan of the trans. With the engine running pull the plug that is higher up. Fluid should just trickle out.
yes the system is sealed, which means there isn't a dip srick on the side of the motor so you can check the level of the transmission fuild like you would check your engine oil , also owner of 2001 Isuzu Rodeo Sport V6 Automatic.
I know true 95's have a dipstick for the automatic transmission. I also know 96 rodeo's do not but instead have an oil check plug in the transmission oil pan. Isuzu also came out with a 95.5 because all vehichles produced halfway through 1995 legally had to have airbags. So it has the 96 interior but the engine is same as the 95. I do not know if the 95.5 had a transmission dipstick. Mine is a stick.
== == == == There isn't one! Nor is there a way for you to check the level yourself- you must have a mechanic to do it.
I do believe that if it's a sealed transmission then you have to pull the check plug from the trans to check it its just like a fill plug believe its on the left side of trans.
The way to check the transmission fluid level is you run the vehicle in park until operating temp. When operating temperature is reached then there is a plug in the transmission pan pull out just the middle of it to check fluid.
A code 37 on an Isuzu Rodeo means to check the transmission. This could mean that a short is occurring between the Transmission Control Module and the Electronic Computer Unit. Check all wires going from the transmission to the computer. If no short is found, a tube might be placed over the wires to prevent them from accidentally coding for no reason other than magnetic interference.
it depends if it is an automatic tranmission then you would add AFT (automatic transmission fluid) down the dip stick hole (where you check the level) if it is a manual transmission you will find a bolt on the side of the transmission that is reffered to as the check plug when you take this plug out you should be able to touch the fluid when you stick your finger in the check plug hole. any further questions email me at crazyarmydad@hotmial.com This is incorrect aas there is no dipstick hole on these Rodeos. Transmission fluid level: As you don
