PERFORM HYDRAULIC TEST
Measure the line pressure.
Note
Perform the test at the normal operating ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) temperature: 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F)
The line pressure test should always be carried out in pairs. One technician should observe the conditions of wheels or wheel stoppers outside the vehicle while the other is performing the test.
Be careful to prevent SST hose from interfering with the exhaust pipe.
This Check must be conducted after checking and adjusting engine.
Perform under condition that A/C is OFF.
When conducting stall test, do not continue more than 5 seconds.
Warm up the ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid).
Lift the vehicle up.
Remove the test plug on the transmission case center right side and connect SST.
Lower the vehicle.
Fully apply the parking brake and chock the 4 wheels.
Start the engine and check idling speed.
Keep your left foot pressing firmly on the brake pedal and shift into D position.
Measure the line pressure when the engine is idling.
Depress the accelerator pedal all the way down. Quickly read the highest line pressure when engine speed reaches stall speed.
In the same manner, do the test in R position.
| Condition | D position kPa (kgf / cm2, psi) |
R position kPa (kgf / cm2, psi) |
|---|---|---|
| Idling | 350 to 450 kPa (3.6 to 4.6 kgf/cm2, 51 to 65 psi) |
450 to 600 kPa (4.6 to 6.1 kgf/cm2, 65 to 87 psi) |
| Stall test | 1250 to 1450 kPa (12.7 to 14.8 kgf/cm2, 181 to 210 psi) |
1450 to 1700 kPa (14.8 to 17.3 kgf/cm2, 210 to 247 psi) |
| Problem | Possible cause |
|---|---|
| If the measured values at all position are higher |
|
| If the measured values at all position are lower |
|
| If pressure is low in the D position only |
|
| If pressure is low in the R position only |
