PERFORM HYDRAULIC TEST
Measure the line pressure.
CAUTION:
The line pressure test should always be carried out in pairs. One technician should observe the conditions of the wheels and wheel chocks outside the vehicle while the other is performing the test.
Note
Perform the test at the normal operating ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) temperature: 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F).
Be careful to prevent SST hose from interfering with the exhaust pipe.
This check must be conducted after checking and adjusting the engine.
Perform the test with the air conditioning off.
When conducting the stall test, do not continue for more than 5 seconds.
When performing the stall speed test more than once, make sure to wait 15 seconds or more between tests.
Warm up the ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid).
Turn the engine switch off.
Lift the vehicle up.
| *1 | Test Plug |
Remove the test plug on the transmission case and connect SST.
Lower the vehicle.
Fully apply the parking brake and chock the 4 wheels.
Start the engine and check the idling speed.
Keep your left foot pressed firmly on the brake pedal and move the shift lever to D.
Fully depress the accelerator pedal with your right foot. Quickly read the highest line pressure when the engine speed reaches the stall speed.
In the same manner, perform the test with the shift lever in R.
| Condition | D Position | R Position |
|---|---|---|
| Stall speed | 1230 to 1390 kPa (12.5 to 14.2 kgf/cm2, 178 to 202 psi) |
1470 to 1690 kPa (15.0 to 17.2 kgf/cm2, 213 to 245 psi) |
| Problem | Possible Cause |
|---|---|
| Measured values at D and R positions are higher than specified pressure |
|
| Measured values at D and R positions are lower than specified pressure |
|
| Pressure is low in D position only |
|
| Pressure is low in R position only |
