Line Pressure Test
MEASURE LINE PRESSURENOTICE:
- Perform the test at normal operating fluid temperature (50-80°C or 122-176°F).
- This line pressure test should always be carried out in pairs. One technician should observe the condition of wheels or wheel stoppers outside the vehicle while the other is performing the test.
- Warm up the transaxle fluid.
- Remove the test plug on the transaxle case and connect the hydraulic pressure gauge. (SST) SST 09992-00094 (Oil pressure Gauge)
1. Fully apply the parking brake and chock the four wheels.
2. Start the engine and check idling rpm.
3. Press strongly on the brake pedal with your left foot and shift into D range.
4. Measure the line pressure when the engine is idling.
5. Press the accelerator pedal all the way down. Quickly read the highest line pressure when reaches stall speed.
- In the same manner, perform the test in R range.
