9. HYDRAULIC TEST
Measure the line pressure.
NOTICE:
Do the test at normal operating ATF temperature 50 − 80°C (122 − 176°F).
The line pressure test should always carried out in pairs. One technician should observe the
conditions of wheels or wheel stoppers outside the vehicle while the other is doing the test.
Be careful to prevent SST’s hose from interfering with the exhaust pipe.
(1) Warm up the ATF.
(2) Remove the teat plug on the transaxle case left side and connect SST (See page AX−14. for the
location to connect SST).
SST SST 09992−00094 (09992−00230, 09992−00270)
(3) Chock the 4 wheels.
(4) Fully apply the parking brake.
(5) Start the engine and check idling speed.
(6) Keep your left foot pressed firmly on the brake pedal and shift into the D position.
(7) Measure the line pressure when the engine is idling.
(8) Fully depress the accelerator pedal. Quickly read the highest line pressure when engine speed
reaches stall speed.
NOTICE:
Release the accelerator pedal and stop test if the wheels being to rotate before the engine speed
reaches specified stall speed.
(9) In the same way, do the teat in R position.
Specified line pressure:
ConditionD position kPa (kgf/cm2, psi)R position kPa (kgf/cm2, psi)
Idling353 − 422 (3.6 − 4.3, 51 − 61)598 − 804 (6.1 − 8.2, 87 − 117)
Stall824 − 971 (8.4 − 9.9, 119 − 141)1,530 − 1,780 (15.6 − 18.1, 222 − 257)
If the measured pressures are not up to specified values, recheck the throttle cable adjustment and do a
retest.
Evaluation:
ProblemPossible cause
If the measured value in all positions are higher.
Throttle cable out of adjustment
Throttle valve defective
Regulator valve defective
If the measured values in all positions are lower.
Throttle cable out of adjustment
Throttle valve defective
Regulator valve defective
Oil pump defective
U/D direct clutch defective
If pressure is low in the D position only.D position circuit fluid leakage
Forward clutch defective
If pressure is low in the R position only.
R position circuit fluid leakage
Direct clutch defective
1st and reverse brake defective

10. MANUAL SHIFTING TEST
HINT:
With this test, it can be determined whether the trouble is within
the electrical circuit or is a mechanical problem in the transaxle.
(a) Disconnect the solenoid wire.
(b) Inspect the manual driving operation
Check that the shift and gear positions correspond with
the table below.
Shift PositionGear Position
DO/D
23rd
L1st
RReverse
PPawl Lock
HINT:
If the L, 2 and D position gear position are difficult to distinguish,
do the following road test.
While driving, shift through the L, 2 and D positions.
Check that the gear change corresponds to the shift posi-
tion.
If any abnormality is found in the above test, the problem
is in the transaxle itself.
(c) Connect the solenoid wire.
(d) Cancel out the DTC (See step 3).

PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
If a normal code is displayed during the diagnostic trouble code check but the trouble still occurs, check the
circuits for each symptom in the order given in the charts on the following pages and proceed to the page
given for troubleshooting.
The Matrix Chart is divided into 3 chapters.
Chapter 1: Electronic Circuit Matrix Chart
Chapter 2: On−Vehicle repair Matrix Chart
Chapter 3: Off−Vehicle repair Matrix Chart
When troubleshooting, check Chapter 1 first. If instructions are given in Chapter 1 to proceed to chapter 2
or 3, proceed as instructed.
(1) If the instruction ”Proceed to next circuit inspection shown on matrix chart” is given in the flow
chart for each circuit, proceed to the circuit with the next highest number in the table to continue
the check.
(2) If the trouble still occurs even though there are no abnormalities in any of the other circuits, then
check and replace the ECM.
