LINE PRESSURE TEST PORTS
ILocation of line pressure test ports.
I Always replace line pressure plugs as they are self-
sealing bolts.
LINE PRESSURE TEST PROCEDURE
1. Check A/T and engine fluid levels. If necessary, add fluid.
2. Drive vehicle for approx. 10 minutes or until engine oil and ATF
reach operating temperature.ATF operating temperature: 50 - 80ÉC (122 - 176ÉF)
3. Install pressure gauge to corresponding line pressure port.

Road Test
DESCRIPTION
IThe purpose of the test is to determine overall performance of
A/T and analyze causes of malfunctions.
I The road test consists of the following three parts:
1. Check before engine is started
2. Check at idle
3. Cruise test
I Before road test, familiarize yourself with all test procedures
and items to check.
I Conduct tests on all items until specified symptom is found.
Troubleshoot items which check out No Good after road test.
Refer to ªON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONº
and ªDIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES FOR SYMPTOMSº, AT-14
- AT-20 and AT-97 - AT-117.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
CHECK TCM POWER SOURCE.
1. Turn ignition switch to ªONº position.(Do not start engine.)
2. Check voltage between TCM terminals q
10,q19and ground.
Battery voltage should exist.
OK
ENG Check the following items:
