Line Pressure Test
Purpose of this test is to check operating conditions of each part
by measuring fluid pressure in fluid pressure line. Line pressure
test requires following conditions.
•Automatic fluid is at normal operating temperature (70 to 80
°
C/158 – 176 °F).
•Fluid is filled to proper level (between FULL HOT and LOW
HOT on dipstick).
1) Apply parking brake securely and place checks against
wheels.
2) Attach oil pressure gauge to fluid pressure check hole (1) in
transmission case.
Special tool
(A) : 09925-37811-001
3) Depress foot brake fully, run engine at idle and stall.
4) Check fluid pressure in “D” or “R” range within the following
specification.
Line pressure :
5) If check result is OK, disconnect special tool, then tighten
transmission case plug to specified torque.

Transmission case plug : 17 N·m (1.7 kg-m, 12.0 lb-ft) CAUTION:
After attaching oil pressure gauge, check that not fluid
leakage exists.
CAUTION:
Do not continue running engine at stall speed longer
than 5 seconds.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Road Test
This test is to check if upshift and downshift take place at specified speed while actually driving vehicle on a
level road.
1) Warm up engine.
2) With engine running at idle, shift select lever “D”.
3) Accelerate vehicle speed by depressing accelerator pedal gradually.
4) While driving in “D” range, check if gear shift occurs properly as shown in “GEAR SHIFT DIAGRAM” in this
section.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Condition Possible cause
Line pressure higher than standard level in each
range•Malfunctioning regulator valve
•Malfunctioning throttle valve
•Maladjusted A/T throttle cable
Line pressure lower than standard level in each
range•Defective O/D clutch
•Defective oil pump
•Malfunctioning throttle valve
•Malfunctioning regulator value
•Maladjusted A/T throttle cable
Line pressure lower than standard level only in
“D” range•Fluid leakage from forward clutch
•Defective O/D clutch
•Leakage from “D” range fluid pressure circuit
Line pressure lower than standard level only in
“R” range•Fluid leakage from direct clutch
•Defective O/D clutch
•Fluid leakage from reverse brake
•Fluid leakage from “R” range fluid circuit
WARNING:
Carry out test in very little traffic area to prevent an accident.
Test requires 2 persons, a driver and a tester.
Condition Possible cause
When 1 → 2 upshift fails to occur 1–2 shift valve stuck
When 2 → 3 upshift fails to occur 2–3 shift valve stuck
When 3 → O/D upshift fails to occur 3–4 shift valve stuck
When gear shift point is incorrect•Maladjusted throttle cable
•Defective shift solenoid valve -A or -B
•1–2, 2–3 or 3–4 shift valve not operating properly

LEVEL CHECK AT ROOM TEMPERATURE
The fluid level check at room temperature (20 – 30 °C (68 – 86
°F)) performed after repair or fluid change before test driving is
just preparation for level check of normal operating temperature.
The checking procedure itself is the same as that described previ-
ously. If the fluid level is between FULL COLD and LOW COLD,
proceed to test drive. And when the fluid temperature has
reached the normal operating temperature, check fluid level again
and adjust it as necessary.
Fluid change
1) Lift up vehicle.
2) With engine is cool, remove drain plug (1) from oil pan and
drain A/T fluid.
3) Install drain plug (1).
Tightening torque
A/T fluid drain plug (a) :
23 N·m (2.3 kg-m, 17.0 lb-ft)
4) Lower vehicle and fill proper amount of an equivalent of
DEXRON
®-III.
5) Check fluid level referring to “LEVEL CHECK NORMAL
OPERATING TEMPERATURE” of “FLUID LEVEL” in this
section.
Fluid specification :
An equivalent of DEXRON

6) Install direct clutch cylinder to center support.
Remove direct clutch piston by blowing air into the second
hole from the left as shown in the figure. Also, remove direct
clutch inner piston by blowing air into hole at the extreme
right. And then remove O-rings from pistons.
