Thanks in advance to your help.
I am going to do a transmission fluid flush/exchange myself. I have read some post about the work. It sounds pretty easy by disconnecting the transmission fluid return hose from the radiator and drain the fluid from the radiator port by connecting a piece of tube to the port, and the tube goes to the drain pan.
My question is where is the trans fluid return hose to the radiator. Is it in front of radiator, or under it, or behind it? Can you see it from the top after open the hood?

I have an SC400, and on mine the return lines are accessible from the top of the engine- no need to even remove the plastic cover under the engine. They are on the passenger side, running from the bottom corner of the radiator straight back to the transmission. The top one flows into the trans, and is marked with a pink dot.
