PERFORM HYDRAULIC TEST
CAUTION:
Do not perform a stall test if there are any people or objects near the vehicle.
The vehicle could begin moving suddenly, resulting in a serious accident.
Do not perform a stall test if any wheel chocks are out of position.
The vehicle could begin moving suddenly, resulting in a serious accident.
Do not perform the stall test on a slippery or low-friction surface that could allow the tires to spin.
The vehicle could begin moving suddenly, resulting in a serious accident.
A 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.
| *a | Test Plug |
Measure the line pressure.
Note
Perform this test with the ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) at the normal operating temperature: 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F)
Be careful to prevent the SST hose from contacting the exhaust pipe.
This check must be conducted after checking and confirming that the engine is normal.
Perform this test with the A/C off.
Do not perform the stall test for longer than 5 seconds.
When performing the stall speed test repeatedly, wait for 15 seconds or more between tests.
Warm up the ATF.
Remove the test plug on the center of the right side of the transmission case side and connect SST.
Fully apply the parking brake and chock all 4 wheels.
Start the engine and check the idle speed.
Keep your left foot firmly on the brake pedal and move the shift lever to D.
Measure the line pressure when the engine is idling.
Depress the accelerator pedal as much as possible with your right foot. Quickly read the highest line pressure reading when the engine speed reaches stall speed.
Measure the line pressure again with the shift lever in R.
| Problem | Possible Cause |
|---|---|
| Measured values at all positions are higher than specified |
|
| Measured values at all positions are lower than specified |
|
| Pressure is low when shift lever is in D only |
