MEASURE LINE PRESSURE
Note
Perform the test at the normal operating ATF temperature: 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F).
The line pressure test should always be performed with at least 2 people. One person should observe the condition of the wheels and wheel chocks while the other is performing the test.
Be careful to prevent SST's hose from interfering with the exhaust pipe.
This test must be performed after checking and adjusting the engine.
Perform the test with the A/C OFF.
Warm up the ATF.
Remove the test plug from the front side of the transmission case and connect SST.
Fully apply the parking brake and chock the 4 wheels.
Start the engine and check idling 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. Quickly read the highest line pressure reading when the engine speed reaches stall speed.
Perform the measure line pressure test again with the shift lever on R.
| Condition | Shift Lever on D | Shift Lever on R |
|---|---|---|
| Stall | 1100 to 1300 kPa (11.2 to 13.3 kgf/cm2, 160 to 189 psi) |
1550 to 1950 kPa (15.8 to 19.9 kgf/cm2, 225 to 283 psi) |
| 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 on D only |
|
| Pressure is low when shift lever is on R only |
