There are 2 plugs on the side of the transmission one high and one low. Remove the higher one and if some fluid drips out or you can feel fluid right away when you stick your pinky figer in the hole it is good to go. If not then add fluid through the same hole until it runs out.
How do I check the transmission fluid on a 1983 Honda Civic 1500DX
For a 2001 Honda Passport 2WD, you should use Honda's ATF-Z1 (Automatic Transmission Fluid) or an equivalent fluid that meets the same specifications. It's important to avoid using Dexron or Mercon fluids, as they can cause transmission issues. Always check your owner’s manual or consult a professional to ensure compatibility.
The automatic transmission will have a dip stick location on a 1982 Honda Civic. Pull the dip stick to see the color and texture of the fluid.
There is no dipstick for the transmission, Honda/Isuzu calls it "lifetime fluid". They really don't even specify a fluid change for the life of the vehicle. You might want to call Honda and see if they have changed the recommended fluid change or check intervals. When I worked at a Honda dealer, there was no certain time or mileage specified. Neat huh? That's what happens when Isuzu gets into the mix......
Check the automatic transmission fluid level. If it is low add enough to reach the full mark. If it is not low seek professional help. If you have to add fluid use only Genuine Honda automatic transmission fluid. Use no substitute.
To add automatic transmission fluid to a 2001 Honda Passport without a siphon pump, first, locate the transmission dipstick tube under the hood. Use a funnel to carefully pour the fluid into the dipstick tube, ensuring you don't overfill. You may need to use a long, narrow funnel to reach the tube easily. Always check the fluid level using the dipstick after adding to ensure it's at the proper level.
The A/T oil light indicates that your automatic transmission fluid is hot. Check to make sure it is filled properly. If it is then take it to a shop to have them diagnose the issue.

In a 2001 Honda Passport, the transmission dipstick is located near the back of the engine bay, on the driver's side. It is typically positioned near the firewall, between the engine and the transmission. Look for a yellow or red handle to identify the dipstick.
