Open the hood and look for the yellow dip stick, Make Sure it says trans fluid. pull it from the tube. place a funnel in the steel tube and file accourdingly. MAKE SURE YOU DONT OVER FILL Plz...

There are several shift solenoids located on the transmission. Do you know which one you need?

I'll try to help you the best way I can regarding your transmission transmission have solenoids and if these solenoids get damaged if they're old they allow fluid the past there like a check valve system so if your solenoids are old and may cause the slippage that you're feeling or maybe that gears are grinded but that's really rare knowing the transmission these days and their tolerances

Do you have the owners manual to your vehicle ? Best thing to do if you don't is find the power steering pump which is driven by the serpentine belt. Then follow the hoses to the reservoir if the two components are separate. Make sure to use the proper fluid for your vehicle

Take it to be serviced. The light came on to advise you that there is a problem that will probably cause serious damage if it is not corrected.

When changing the timing belt on a vehicle be sure that the timing marks line up on the camshaft sprockets and the crankshaft sprocket then turn the engine by hand (not the starter) 2 full revolutions (I spin it 4 revolutions to be completely sure) and check that the timing marks still are lined up. While turning the engine if you feel resistance STOP. You may not have the timing correct. Make sure that the spark plugs are removed while doing this because the compression of the engine can make it difficult to turn by hand.

code p 0401 refers to exhaust gas recirculation valve (EGR) system insufficient flow detected ====causes --hose leak/blockage --basic setting not carried out (if applicable)--wiring--EGR valve --EGR solenoid---ECM has little to do with not shifting unless the leak is affecting the vacuum actuator for the transmission so check for vacuum leaks in hoses in the engine bay

Have vehicle scanned for codes at autozone or similar this will give you an idea what is wrong

Usually threaded in thermostat housing...has a 2 sometimes 3 wire plug

The 1st thing you need to do is have the fault codes read with a san tool and or OBD2 code reader. Autozone and others do this for free if you can get the car there.

Freeze plugs are round plugs in the cylinder block and cylinder head. they are pressed in not screwed in. The ones in the block are located along the side just under the top of the block where he head bolts on. The ones in the head are located down the centre of the head on top under the valve cover Also one at each end of the head

There is no dipstick. The engine and transmission was designed by Isuzu up till 2002, and the automatic transmission was a sealed, no-maint. transmission. You will either need to purchase the special tools needed, or...........that's right, go to a transmission shop!!!

Likely won't be able to do yourself without a vag com I would suggest going to autozone or the like, they can read the code and see what the cause is. Most times they will clear it for you. This is a free service of autozone, advanced auto, etc. your mechanic may charge you $40 +/- to do this.

This code indicates a very small leak in your evap/emissions system, use a smoke test to find the leak and go from there.

Could be the battery or alternator. To check the alternator. Start the vehicle, then remove the negative side of the battery post. If it dies, replace the alternator. Have the battery checked with a load tester.
