Basic Inspection
Arr FLUlD
Check A/T fluid for leakage and fluid level.
Check A/T fluid status.
SHIFT CONTROL
Check and adjust A/T position.
Line Pressure Test
1. Check engine oil level. If necessary, add oil.
2. Drive vehicle for approximately 10 minutes until A/T fluid
reaches normal operating temperature between
50 and 80°C,
and check A/T fluid level. If necessary, add fluid.
When
ambient temperature is 20°C, A/T fluid operating tem-
perature
usually becomes between 50 and 80°C for approxi-
mately
10 minutes' drive in urban traffic.
3. After warming up IW', remove fluid pressure detection plug,
and install pressure gauge (Special Service Tool:
ST2505
S001) to corresponding line pressure port.
CAUTION:
0 To remove or install the fluid pressure detection plug, use
standard socket wrench (width across flat:
12 mm).
Detection plug should not be reused because thread-lock
compound is applied
to the plug.
4. Set parking brake and block wheels.
5. Start engine and measure line pressure at idle and stall speed.
CAUTION:
When measuring line pressure, depress brake pedal fully.
When measuring line pressure at stall speed, refer to
"Stall Test" (AT-17).

ticular position.
Line pressure is

Line pressure increase is
poorer than that measured at
idle speed.
Line pressure increases but
does not reach specification.
Line pressure is low in par-

causes
Pressure supply system malfunction or low oil pump output
Examples:
0 Oil pump wear
Control piston damage
Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking, and weak spring
Fluid pressure leakage between oil strainer and pressure regulator valve through oil Eg
Pump
Low idle speed
After line pressure is supplied from manual valve, fluid pressure may leak between devices
or circuits of corresponding position.

Stall Test
1. Check engine oil level. If necessary, add oil.
2. Drive vehicle for approximately 10 minutes until A/T fluid
reaches normal operating temperature between
50 and 80°C,
and check A/T fluid level. If necessary, add AfT fluid.
When ambient temperature is

3. Set parking brake and block wheels.
4. Statt engine, depress brake pedal, and move selector lever to
"D" position.

in the instrument panel is turned on with the ABS deactivated and
the vehicle's brake system reverts to normal operation.
