Line Pressure Test
Line Pressure TestCAUTION: Carry out Line Pressure Test prior to carrying out Stall Speed Test. If line pressure is low at stall, do not carry out the Stall Speed Test or further transmission damage will occur. Do not maintain wide open throttle in any gear range for more than 5 seconds.
NOTE: Certain sensor failures may cause high PC, FMEM (Failure Mode Effect Management) actions. Be sure that self-test and electrical repairs have been carried out or test results may be incorrect.
NOTE: The line pressure tap is used to verify output pressure from PC A or PC B by turning either one off while verifying the output from the other solenoid. The second pressure tap is used to verify the output from the PC C solenoid.
This test verifies that the line pressure is within specifications.
1. Connect the pressure gauge to the line pressure tap.
2. Start the engine and check the line pressures. Refer to the following Line Pressure Chart for the correct specification.

3. If the line pressure is not within specifications, check the PC C pressure.
4. Connect the pressure gauge to the PC C pressure tap.
5. Start the engine and check the PC C pressure. Refer to Line Pressure Diagnosis Chart for the correct specification.
6. If the PC C pressure is not within specification, GO to Pinpoint Test D to diagnose PC C operation. If PC C operation is OK, refer to Line Pressure Diagnosis Chart for line pressure concern causes.
