how do you check the transmission fluid on a 2014 chevy captiva

by Kamron Hirthe Published 2 years ago Updated 1 year ago

Find the transmission dipstick, which is usually brightly colored and toward the back of the engine. Remove the dipstick, being careful not to spill or drip any fluid. Wipe off the dipstick with a clean rag, just as you would do when checking the engine oil. Reinsert the dipstick, then remove the dipstick again to check the fluid level.

You have a bad transmission control module (TCM). It is under the passenger side front floor mat. You can get rebuilt units off Ebay, whatever you do, don't get a used one! They are all bad.

Remove the plug and drain it. If it doesn't have a plug, remove the pan. Clean the screens and replace the gaskets with new ones. Refill.
