PERFORM HYDRAULIC TEST
Measure the line pressure.
CAUTION:
The line pressure test should always be carried out with at least 2 people. One person should observe the condition of the wheels and wheel chocks while the other is performing the test.
Note
Perform the test while the ATF temperature is 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F).
Be careful to prevent the hose of SST from interfering with the exhaust pipe.
This check must be conducted after checking and confirming that the engine is normal.
Perform the test with the A/C off.
Do not perform the stall test for more than 5 seconds.
Warm up the ATF.
Turn the ignition switch off.
Lift the vehicle up.
| *1 | Test Plug |
Remove the test plug from the transaxle case and connect SST.
Lower the vehicle.
Fully apply the parking brake and chock the 4 wheels.
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Start the engine.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Active Test / Control the Shift Position.
Move the shift lever to D, and then use the intelligent tester to hold 3rd gear using the Active Test. Measure the line pressure while the engine is idling.
| Condition | Shift Lever in D |
|---|---|
| Idling | 360 to 430 kPa (3.7 to 4.4 kgf/cm2, 52 to 62 psi) |
Turn the ignition switch off.
Disconnect the connector of the TCM.
Tech Tips
Disconnect the connector only when performing the D position stall test.
Start the engine.
Firmly depress the brake pedal, move the shift lever to D, depress the accelerator pedal all the way down and check the line pressure while the stall test is performed.
| Condition | Shift Lever in D |
|---|---|
| Stall test | 1160 to 1350 kPa (11.8 to 13.8 kgf/cm2, 168 to 196 psi) |
Turn the ignition switch off.
Connect the TCM connector, depress the brake pedal firmly, move the shift lever to R and check the line pressure while the engine is idling and during the stall test.
| Condition | Shift Lever in R |
|---|---|
| Idling | 800 to 950 kPa (8.2 to 9.7 kgf/cm2, 116 to 138 psi) |
| Stall test | 1900 to 2200 kPa (19.4 to 22.4 kgf/cm2, 276 to 319 psi) |
Remove SST and install the test plug.
Clear the DTCs.
| Test Result | Possible Cause |
