Line Pressure Test

Line Pressure Test

This test is performed to check operating conditions of each part by measuring fluid pressure in fluid pressure line.
1) Connect scan tool to DLC.
2) Select "Data list" mode on scan tool.
3) Drive vehicle so that CVT fluid temperature reaches normal operating temperature (50 - 80 °C (122 - 176 °F)). Scan Tool Testing and Procedures

NOTE:
Engine coolant temperature rises when revving engine in "P" or "N" range, but CVT fluid temperature does not rise in "P" or "N" range. Be sure to drive vehicle in order to raise CVT fluid temperature.

4) Apply parking brake and block wheels.
5) Remove fluid pressure check hole bolt (1).
6) Attach oil pressure gauge to fluid pressure check hole (2) in transaxle case.

NOTE:
After attaching oil pressure gauge, check that no fluid leakage exists.

7) Depress brake pedal fully, run engine at idle and stall then check fluid pressure in "D" or "R" range.

NOTE:
If you do not take proper precautions during line pressure tests, a CVT failure may result due to an excessive rise in CVT fluid temperature.
- Do not continue running the engine for longer than 5 seconds at stall speed.
- After performing a line pressure test, be sure to allow the engine to run at idle for longer than 1 minute before performing another line pressure test.

8) If check result is OK, disconnect special tool and then tighten fluid pressure check hole bolt (1) to specified torque.

Tightening torque
Fluid pressure check hole bolt (a): 7.5 Nm (0.76 kgf-m, 5.5 lbf-ft)
