Line Pressure Test
Line Pressure TestMEASUREMENT
NOTE: If the clutch or brake shows a sign of slippage, or shifting interval is not correct, the line pressure should be checked.
^ Excessive shocks during up-shift may be due to the line pressure being too high.
^ Slippage or inability to operate the vehicle may, in most cases, be due to loss of oil pressure for the operation of the clutch, brake or control valve.

8. Using the scroll key, display the P/L solenoid target oil pressure.
7. Perform the line pressure test.
NOTE:
^ Do not perform the line pressure test for more than 5 seconds at a time. It makes engine oil and ATF deteriorate and the clutch and brake to be adversely affected.
^ Be sure to cool down the engine for at least one minute with the select lever set in P or N range and with the idle speed lower than 1,200 rpm after performing line pressure test.
^ Adjust the throttle valve angle in order to obtain the P/L solenoid target pressure displayed on the Subaru Select Monitor.
