I recently did this on my 2016 Tundra. It turns out that my PC/Windows copy of Techstream is no longer valid, and will not work. So I bought a good scanner.
As the engine is idling, the fluid is warming up fairly rapidly, so the window in which the level check takes place is actually rather short.
I followed the procedure that you’ve got there, dated 2007, that’s the only one I could find. Interestingly, the internal transmission temperature as read by the scanner was within a degree or two of the external pan temperature as read by an IR gun.
I do not have the factory service manual for this truck. I’ve never seen it available, or I would’ve bought it, just as I did for my 4Runner back in the day.
If @drtyler has the FSM,then I would use his numbers for your job. I erred on the lower side of the range in the 2007 bulletin for setting the level.
So I reckon I’m at the top of his range, and my transmission is OK.
