Line Pressure Check Procedure

Line Pressure Check Procedure

Tools Required
^ J45542 Transmission Line Pressure Adapter
^ SA9127E Gage Bar Set





1. Caution: Keep the brakes applied at all times in order to prevent unexpected vehicle motion. Personal injury may result if the vehicle moves unexpectedly.

Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Vehicle Lifting.
2. Remove the left front splash shield.
3. Remove the automatic transmission fluid pressure test hole plug (66) and O-ring seal (67).





4. Install the J45542 (2) with a sealing washer on each side of the adapter into the test hole.
5. Connect the SA9127E (1) to the J45542 (2).
6. Fully apply the parking brake.
7. Connect a scan tool for engine RPMs.
8. Start the engine and allow the engine to warm up at idle.
9. Firmly apply the brake and shift into REVERSE (R).
10. Allow the engine to idle and record the line pressure.
500 - 610 kPa (73 - 89 psi)

11. Important: Do not perform the 2600 RPM test longer than 5 seconds.

Increase the engine speed to 2600 RPM and record the line pressure.
1710 - 1980 kPa (248 - 287 psi)
12. Allow the transmission fluid to cool at idle in PARK (P) for at least one minute.
13. Firmly apply the brake and shift into DRIVE (D).
14. Allow the engine to idle and record the line pressure.
330 - 390 kPa (48 - 57 psi)

15. Important: Do not perform the 2600 RPM test longer than 5 seconds.

Increase the engine speed to 2600 RPM and record the line pressure.
1280 - 1418 kPa (186 - 206 psi)
16. If the line pressure reading is not within specifications refer to the Line Test Results table.





17. Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.

Remove the tools and install the automatic transmission fluid pressure test hole plug (66) and a new O-ring (67).
Tighten the test hole plug to 7 Nm (62 inch lbs.).
18. Install the left front splash shield.
