Did you mean TCM? Takes a while to learn to navigate Forscan, I suppose you are using the laptop version?
There's a list of PIDs for each electronic control module. Under TCM should be trans temperature etc etc.
Just found this which is a better account of the fluid level check procedure:

The bit about measuring the escaping fluid is what I missed. I'll update my DIY sometime. This omission is unlikely to be a problem if the specified 5.5 litres of fresh fluid is used. I've always been slightly puzzled doing the level check, measuring the escaping fluid is the key to knowing exactly when to stop adding fluid. You can't add too much, so that's not an issue. |
Yes - I meant
TCM. I'm using FORSCAN on an android phone. But I can try from a laptop.
I'm away for next 48hrs so don't have acess to the vehicle.
Thanks for your help
