Pressure Testing

REQUIRED TOOLS

Required Tools:

WARNING:
- While testing, be careful of the rotating front wheels.
- Make sure lifts, jacks, and safety stands are placed properly.

CAUTION:
- Before testing, be sure the transmission fluid is filled to the proper level. (Refer to Automatic Transmission Fluid)
- Warm up the engine before testing.

1. Raise the front of the vehicle, and support it with safety stands.
2. Set the parking brake, and block both rear wheels securely.
3. Allow the front wheels to rotate freely.
4. Warm up the engine (the radiator fan comes on), then stop and connect a tachometer.
5. Connect the special tools to each inspection hole. Torque to 18 Nm (13 ft. lbs.).

CAUTION: Connect the oil pressure gauge securely; be sure not to allow dust and other foreign particles to enter the inspection hole.

6. Disconnect the 3P connector from the linear solenoid connector.
7. Start the engine, and run it at 2,000 rpm.
8. Shift to the respective shift lever position, and measure each pressure at the fully-opened throttle condition according to the "Pressure Test Results Chart" below.



9. Connect battery voltage to the linear solenoid connector terminals as shown.
10. Shift to the respective shift lever position, and measure each pressure at the fully-closed throttle condition.
11. Install the sealing bolt with a new sealing washer in the inspection hole, and tighten the bolt to the specified torque. Torque to 18 Nm (13 ft. lbs.)
NOTE: Do not reuse old sealing washers; always replace washers.
10. Locations of pressure inspection holes.
