1991 LEXUS SC400 check oil

(f) Check the fluid level at the normal operating temperature70±80
C (158±176
F) and add as necessary.
NOTICE: Do not overfill.
4. CHECK FLUID LEAKS
Check for leaks in the transmission.
If there are leaks, it is necessary to repair or replace O±rings,
seal packings, oil seals, plugs or other parts.
5. INSPECT AND ADJUST THROTTLE CABLE
(a) Remove the 2 bolts, nut and throttle body cover.
(b) Check that the throttle valve is fully closed.
(c) Check that the inner cable is not slack.
(d) Measure the distance between the outer cable end and stopper on the cable.
Standard distance:
0±1 mm (0±0.04 in.)
If the distance is not standard, adjust the cable by the adjust-
ing nuts.
(e) Install the throttle body cover, and two bolts and nut.
6. INSPECT AND ADJUST SHIFT LEVER POSITION When shifting the shift lever from the N position to other posi-
tions, check that the lever can be shifted smoothly and accu-
rately to each position and that the position indicator correctly
indicates the position.
If the indicator is not aligned with the correct position, carry
out the following adjustment procedures:
(a) Loosen the nut on the control shaft lever.
(b) Push the control shaft lever fully rearward.
(c) Return the control shaft lever 2 notches to N position.
(d) Set the shift lever to N position.
(e) While holding the shift lever lightly toward the R position side,
tighten the shift lever nut.
(f) Start the engine and make sure that the vehicle moves forward when shifting the lever from the N to D position and
reverses when shifting it to the R position.

MEASURE LINE PRESSURE
NOTICE:
Perform the test at normal operating fluid temperature 50±80 C (122±176 F).
 The line pressure test should always be carried out in pairs. One technicia\
n should observe the
conditions of wheels or wheel stoppers outside the vehicle while the other is perf\
orming the test.
 Be careful to prevent the oil pressure gauge hose from interfering with \
the exhaust pipe.
(a) Warm up the transmission fluid.
(b) Remove the test plug on the transmission case left side and connect the \
oil pressure gauge SST.
SST 09992±00094
HINT: Connecting the oil pressure gauge will be made easier by moving LH sid\
e heat insulator aside.
(c) Fully apply the parking brake and chock the 4 wheels.
(d) Start the engine and check idling RPM.
(e) Keep your left foot pressed firmly on the brake pedal and shift into D p\
osition.
(f) Measure the line pressure when the engine is idling.
(g) Press the accelerator pedal all the way down. Quickly read the highest line pressure when engine speedreaches stall speed.
(h) In the same manner, perform the test in R position. AT±54

NOTICE:
Perform the test at normal operating fluid temperature 50±80 C (122±176 F).
 Be careful to prevent the oil pressure gauge hose from interfering with \
the exhaust pipe.
(a) Warm up the transmission fluid.
(b) Remove the test plug on the transmission case rear right side and connec\
t the oil pressure gauge SST.
SST 09992±00094
HINT: Connecting the oil pressure gauge will be made easier by moving the RH \
side head insulator aside.
(c) Remove the passenger side No.2 under cover and ECM protector.
(d) Connect the SST (check harness A) between ECM and connector of vehicle\
wire harness.
SST: 09990±01000
(e) Install one test lead probe into the terminal SLN of the ECM wire harnes\
s side connector and take care not to ground the other test lead probe.
HINT: Prepare test leads which are connected with an (approximately) 8 W l\
ight bulb.

Check solenoid resistance
1. Jack up the Vehicle
2. Remove the oil pan.
3. Disconnect the connector
Measure resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of sole-
noid connector.
Resistance: 5.1 ± 5.5

Check solenoid operation
Connect positive  lead with an 8±10 W bulb to terminal
1 of solenoid connector and negative  lead to terminal
2, then check the movement of the valve.
Reference
Check the solenoid's operation
1. Prepare a variable power supply.
2. Connect positive lead of the variable power
supply to terminal 1 of solenoid connector and neg-
ative  lead to terminal 2.
3. Check the movement of the valve when the voltage is gradually increased. (A current greater than 1 A
should not be supplied.)
As the voltage is increased, the valve should move slow-
ly in the direction.
4. Check the movement of the valve when the voltage is cut off.
The valve should return in the direction.
