Automatic Transmission/Transaxle: Testing and Inspection

HYDRAULIC PRESSURE TESTS
1. Check the A/T fluid level and temperature. Check engine coolant temperature.
^ A/T fluid level: "HOT" mark on the dipstick
^ A/T fluid temperature: 70 - 80°C (158 - 176°F)
^ Engine coolant temperature: 80 - 100°C (176 - 212°F)

CAUTION: The fluid temperature should be within 70 - 80°C (158 - 176°F) during the test.

2. Raise the vehicle so that the wheels are free to turn.





3. Connect the special tools (3.0 MPa (427 psi) oil pressure gauge [MD998330] and adapters [MD998332, MD998900]) to each pressure discharge port.

NOTE:
^ UC: Underdrive clutch pressure port
^ RC: Reverse clutch pressure port
^ OC: Overdrive clutch pressure port
^ LB: Low-reverse brake pressure port
^ 2B: Second brake pressure port
^ TA: Torque converter apply pressure port
^ TR: Torque converter release pressure port

4. Restart the engine.
5. Check that there are no leaks around the special tool port adapters.





6. Measure the hydraulic pressure at each port under the conditions given in the standard hydraulic pressure table, and check that the measured values are within the standard value ranges.
7. If not within the standard value, stop the engine and refer to the Hydraulic pressure test diagnosis table.
8. Recover the O-ring from the port plug and replace it.
9. Remove the special tool, and install the plugs to the hydraulic pressure ports.
10. 0n completion, start the engine and check that there are no leaks around the plugs.
