Pressure Testing
a While testing, be careJulot the rotating front wheels.
a Make sule litts, iacks, and safety stands are placed
properly (see section 1).
CAUTION: Befoie testing, be sure the transmission fluid
is filled to the proper level.
'1. Raise the vehicle {see section 'll.
2. Warm up the engine (the radiator fan comes on),
then stop the engine and connect a tachometer.
3. Connect the special tool to each inspection hole(s).
TOROUE: 18 N.m l1-8 kgt.m, 13lbf.ftl
CAUTION: Connect the A/T pressure gauge secure-
ly, be sure not to allow dust and olher foreign pani-
cles to enter the inspection hole.
