Line Pressure Test

WARNING: Draining the ATF when it is hot is dangerous. Hot ATF can shoot out when the square-head plug is removed, causing burns and serious injury. Wait until the transaxle and ATF are cool before draining the ATF.









1. Connect the Special Service Tools (SSTs) (49 H019 002, 49 B019 901, and 49 B019 903) to the line pressure inspection port.
2. Shift the selector lever to D range and read the line pressure at idle.
3. Connect the SST (49 B019 902) to the line pressure inspection port.

CAUTION: If the accelerator pedal is pressed for longer than 5 seconds while the brake pedal is depressed, the transaxle could be damaged. Therefore, do steps 4 and 5 within 5 seconds of each other.

4. Firmly depress the brake pedal with the left foot, and then gradually depress the accelerator pedal with the right.
5. When the engine speed no longer increases, quickly read the line pressure and release the accelerator.
6. Shift the selector to N position and let the engine idle for 1 minute or more to cool the ATF.
7. Read the line pressure at idle and at the engine stall speed for the remaining ranges in the same manner.
a. 2 range
b. 1 range
c. R position
8. Shift the selector lever to D range.





9. Read the line pressure at idle and at the engine stall speed in the same manner.
10. Install a new square-head plug in the line pressure inspection port and tighten to 5.0 - 9.8 Nm (44 - 86 inch lbs.).
