Line Pressure Test

When a slipping belt and pulley system is noted as a result of the road and stall-speed tests or when inadequate vehicle speed is encountered during shift operations, check the line pressure.

TEST METHOD

ECVT Line Pressure Gauge Installation:

1. Remove the outlet plug (for a pressure gauge) from the side case and connect OIL PRESSURE GAUGE ADAPTER (498895400) instead. Connect the tip of OIL PRESSURE GAUGE (498575400) to the ADAPTER.

NOTE: Discard the old plug after removal; replace with a new one.

TIGHTENING TORQUE
Engine cold: 20 - 26 Nm (2.0 - 2.7 kg-m, 14 - 20 ft lb)
Engine hot: 14 - 18 Nm (1.4 - 1.8kg-m, 10 - 13 ft lb)

ECVT Line Pressure Control Solenoid Valve Connector:

ECVT Line Pressure Control Solenoid Valve Connector (4WD):

2. Remove the line pressure control solenoid valve connector.

NOTE: Low line pressure is produced while idling the engine or when vehicle is stopped (solenoid "ON").

3. Shift selector lever to the N range while idling the engine, and measure line pressure. It should be 2305 kPa (23.5 kg/cm2, 334 psi).


NOTE: Before measuring line pressure, ensure engine is warmed up completely. After measuring line pressure, connect line pressure control solenoid valve connector.
