AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM HYDRAULIC TEST


  1. PERFORM HYDRAULIC TEST


    1. A01HXOZE01

      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 wheels and wheel chocks while the other is performing the test.

      Note


      • Perform a test at the normal operating Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) temperature: 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F)

      • Be careful to prevent the SST hose 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 longer than 5 seconds.


      1. Warm up the Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF).

      2. Lift the vehicle up.

      3. Remove the engine under cover.

      4. Remove the test plug on the transaxle case front left side and install SST.

        SST
        09992-00095   ( 09992-00231, 09992-00271 )

      5. Lower the vehicle.

      6. Fully apply the parking brake and chock the 4 wheels.

      7. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

      8. Start the engine.

      9. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Active Test / Control the Shift Position.

      10. Move the shift lever to D, and then use the Techstream to hold 3rd gear using Active Test. Measure the line pressure while the engine is idling.

        Specified Line Pressure
        Condition

        D Position kPa (kgf/cm2, psi)
        Idling

        360 to 430 kPa

        (3.7 to 4.4 kgf/cm2, 52 to 62 psi)

      11. Turn the engine switch off.

      12. A01HZLQ

        Disconnect the connector of the TCM.

        Tech Tips

        Disconnect the connector only when performing the D position stall test.

      13. Start the engine.

      14. 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.

        Specified Line Pressure
        Condition

        D Position kPa (kgf/cm2, psi)
        Stall test

        1160 to 1350 kPa

        (11.8 to 13.8 kgf/cm2, 168 to 196 psi)

      15. Turn the engine switch off.

      16. Connect the TCM connector, depress the brake pedal firmly, move the shift lever to R, and check that the line pressure while the engine is idling and during the stall test.

        Specified Line Pressure
        Condition

        R Position kPa (kgf/cm2, psi)
        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)

      17. Remove SST, install the test plug.

      18. Clear the DTCs.
