Special Testing Procedures

Line Pressure Test

NOTICE: Carry out the Line Pressure Test prior to carrying out the Stall Speed Test. If the line pressure is low at stall, do not carry out Stall Speed Test or further transmission damage will occur. Do not maintain Wide Open Throttle (WOT) in any transmission range for more than 5 seconds.

This test verifies that the line pressure is within specification.

1. Connect a Transmission Fluid Pressure Gauge to line pressure tap.

2. Start engine and check line pressures. Refer to the Line Pressure Chart to determine if line pressure is within specification.

4. Connect a Transmission Fluid Pressure Gauge to the EPC pressure tap.

5. Start engine and check EPC pressure. Use the Line Pressure Chart for specifications.

6. If EPC pressure is not within specification, GO to Pinpoint Test D Pinpoint Test D: EPC Solenoid to diagnose EPC operation. If EPC operation is OK, see the Line Pressure Diagnosis Chart for line pressure concern causes.
