LINE PRESSURE TEST PROCEDURENBAT0023S011. Check A/T fluid and engine oil levels. If necessary, add fluid
and oil.
2. Drive vehicle for approx. 10 minutes or until fluid and oil reach
operating temperature.
ATF operating temperature:
50 - 80ÉC (122 - 176ÉF)

4. Set parking brake and block wheels.
IContinue to depress brake pedal fully while line pressure
test is being performed at stall speed.

5. Start engine and measure line pressure at idle and stall speed.
IWhen measuring line pressure at stall speed, follow the
stall test procedure.
Line pressure:
Refer to SDS, AT-356.
JUDGEMENT OF LINE PRESSURE TESTNBAT0023S02
Judgement Suspected parts
At idleLine pressure is low in all posi-
tions.IOil pump wear
IControl piston damage
IPressure regulator valve or plug sticking
ISpring for pressure regulator valve damaged
IFluid pressure leakage between oil strainer and pressure regulator valve
IClogged strainer
Line pressure is low in particu-
lar position.IFluid pressure leakage between manual valve and particular clutch
IFor example, line pressure is:
Ð Low in ªRº and ª1º positions, but
Ð Normal in ªDº and ª2º positions.
Then, fluid leakage exists at or around low and reverse brake circuit.
Refer to ªCLUTCH AND BAND CHARTº, AT-17.
Line pressure is high.IMal-adjustment of throttle position sensor
IFluid temperature sensor damaged
ILine pressure solenoid valve sticking
IShort circuit of line pressure solenoid valve circuit
IPressure modifier valve sticking
IPressure regulator valve or plug sticking
IOpen in dropping resistor circuit

Road TestNBAT0024DESCRIPTIONNBAT0024S01IThe purpose of the test is to determine overall performance of
A/T and analyze causes of problems.
IThe road test consists of the following three parts:
1. Check before engine is started
2. Check at idle
3. Cruise test
