Undo the low pressure return hose. They can be hyper stuck on the plastic
reservoir , so ..........................
on the right side of the engine compartment, that's the hose that's held on
to the pipe that's coming from the front of the van, with a hose clamp.
( the threaded connector is the high pressure side, don't mess with that
part )

Remove that hose from that pipe, and plug the end,
then put another hose on the return pipe temporarily................and run
the engine. All the old fluid will be gushing out of your 'new'  return
hose, into your drain pan or bucket. And it really gushes out of there too.
Keep adding fresh ATF to the reservoir while running the engine and flushing
out the old, until  only fresher looking fluid is coming out.
at idle speed is fine.
