5. Start engine and measure line pressure at idle and stall speed.

When measuring line pressure at stall speed, follow the
stall test procedure.
LINE PRESSURE
JUDGEMENT OF LINE PRESSURE TEST
SAT493G
Check lock-up hold.Line pressure kPa (bar, kg/cm2 , psi)
“D”, “2” and “1” positions “R” position
Idle 500 (5.00, 5.1, 73) 778 (7.78, 7.9, 113)
Stall 1,233 (12.33, 12.6, 179) 1,918 (19.18, 19.6, 278)
Judgement Suspected parts
At idleLine pressure is low in all positions.

Oil pump wear

Control piston damage

Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking

Spring for pressure regulator valve damaged

Fluid pressure leakage between oil strainer and pressure regulator valve

Clogged strainer
Line pressure is low in particular posi-
tion.

Fluid pressure leakage between manual valve and particular clutch

For example, line pressure is:
− Low in R and 1 positions, but
− Normal in D and 2 positions.
Therefore, fluid leakage exists at or around low and reverse brake circuit.
Refer to AT- 2 3
.
Line pressure is high.

Maladjustment of throttle position sensor

A/T fluid temperature sensor damaged

Line pressure solenoid valve sticking

Short circuit of line pressure solenoid valve circuit

Pressure modifier valve sticking

Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking

Open in dropping resistor circuit
At stall
speedLine pressure is low.

Maladjustment of throttle position sensor

Line pressure solenoid valve sticking

Short circuit of line pressure solenoid valve circuit

Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking

Pressure modifier valve sticking

Pilot valve sticking
