Pressure Tests

PRESSURE TESTING
1. Before testing, be sure the transmission fluid is filled to the proper level.
2. Raise the front of the vehicle, and make sure it is securely supported.
3. Set the parking brake, and block rear wheels securely.
4. Allow the front wheels to rotate freely.
5. Warm up the engine (the radiator fan comes on), then stop it and connect the tachometer.
6. Connect the oil pressure gauges to each inspection hole securely, and do not allow dust or other foreign particles to enter the holes.

TORQUE: 18 Nm (1.8 kgf.m, 13 ft. lbs.)

7. Start the engine, and run it at 1,500 rpm.
8. Shift to [N] or [P] position, and measure line pressure at the line pressure inspection hole.

NOTE: Higher pressure may be indicated if measurements are made in shift lever positions other than [N] or [P].

9. Shift to [1] position, and measure 1st clutch pressure at the 1st clutch pressure inspection hole.
10. Shift to [2] position, and measure 2nd clutch pressure at the 2nd clutch pressure inspection hole.
11. Shift to [P] position, then depress the brake pedal and hold it.
12. Shift to [D4] position, and release the brake pedal (the transmission is in 1st gear).
13. Accelerate the engine to 2,500 rpm (the transmission will be shifted to 2nd gear).
14. Release the accelerator for more than five seconds after the transmission is shifted to 2nd gear, the engine will be come down to approximately 1,000 rpm in 2nd gear.
15. Depress the accelerator slowly to rev up the engine to 2,000 rpm in more than five seconds, then hold it.




16. Measure 3rd and 4th clutch pressure at the 3rd clutch pressure inspection hole, and the 4th clutch pressure inspection hole, as the transmission will be shifted from 2nd gear to 3rd gear, then to 4th gear.
17. Install the sealing bolt with a new sealing washer, and tighten the bolt to the specified torque.

TORQUE: 18 Nm (1.8 kgf.m, 13 ft. lbs.)

NOTE: Do not reuse the old sealing washer.
