Fluid leakage check

1. Clean areasuspected ofleaking, -for example, mating
surface ofconverter housingandtransmission case.
2. Start engine, applyfootbrake, placeselector leverin"0"
position andwait afew minutes.
3. Stop engine.
4. Check forfresh leakage.

Road Testing

Perform roadtests using "Symptom" chart.Refertopage

AT-20.

"P"
POSITION

1. Place selector leverin"P" position andstart engine. Stop
engine andrepeat theprocedure inall positions, including
neutral position.
2. Stop vehicle onaslight upgrade andplace selector leverin
"P" position. Releaseparkingbraketomake surevehicle
remains locked.

"R"
POSITION

1. Manually moveselector leverfrom"P"to"R", andnote
shift quality.
2. Drive vehicle inreverse longenough todetect slippage or
other abnormalities.

"N"
POSITION

1. Manually moveselector leverfrom"R"and"0"to"N" and
note shift quality.
2. Release parkingbrakewithselector leverin"N" position.
Lightly depress accelerator pedaltomake surevehicle
does notmove. (When vehicle isnew orsoon afterclutches
have been replaced, vehiclemaymove slightly. Thisisnot
a problem.)

JUDGEMENT OFLINE PRESSURE TEST

• Ifline pressure doesnotrise, firstcheck tomake surethat
throttle wireisconnected properly.

GOVERNOR PRESSURETESTING

1. Check
AIT
and engine fluidlevels. Ifnecessary, addfluid.
2 .. Drive vehicle forabout 10minutes untilengine oiland ATF
reach operating temperature.

ATF operating temperature:
50 -80°C (122-176°F)

3. Install pressure gaugetogovernor pressureport.
4. Set parking brakeandblock rearwheels.
5. Jack upfront wheels.
6. Set selector leverinDposition anddrive vehicle.

Be careful ofrotating wheels.
•

Governor pressure:
• Governor pressureisnot generated whenvehicle is
stopped. (frontwheels arenotrotating.)
• Governor pressurerisesgradually inresponse tovehicle
speed. (frontwheel rotating speed.)

If not, check governor valveassembly. RefertoAT-36.

Checking
BrakeFluidLevel

• Check fluidlevel inreservoir tank.Itshould bebetween
Max. andMin. lines onreservoir tank.
• Iffluid level isextremely low,check brakesystem forleaks.
• Ifbrake warning lampcomes on,check brakefluidlevel
switch andparking brakeswitch.

Checking
BrakeLine

CAUTION: If leakage occursaround joints,retighten or,ifnecessary,
replace damaged parts.
1. Check brakelines(tubes andhoses) forcracks, deteriora-
tion orother damage. Replaceanydamaged parts.
2. Check foroilleakage byfully depressing brakepedalwhile
engine isrunning.

Changing BrakeFluid

CAUTION:
• Refill withnewbrake fluid"DOT 3"or"DOT 4".
• Always keepfluidlevel higher thanminimum lineonreser-
voir tank.
• Never reusedrained brakefluid.
• Donot mix different typesofbrake fluids(DOT3,DOT 4).
• Becareful nottosplash brakefluidonpainted areas;itmay •
cause paintdamage. Ifbrake fluidissplashed onpainted :•
areas, washitaway withwater immediately.
1. Clean inside ofreservoir tank,andrefill withnewbrake
fluid.
2. Connect avinyl tubetoeach airbleeder valve.
3. Drain brake fluidfrom each airbleeder valvebydepressing
brake pedal.
4. Refill untilnewbrake fluidcomes outofeach airbleeder
valve.
Use same procedure asinbleeding hydraulic systemto
refill brake fluid.
Refer to"Bleeding Procedure", BR-6.
