Line Pressure Test Procedure
1. Inspect the amount of engine oil and replenish if necessary.
2. Drive the car for about 10 minutes to warm it up so that the ATF reaches in range of 50 to 80 °C (122 to
176 °F), then inspect the amount of ATF and replenish if necessary.
NOTE:
The A/T fluid temperature rises in range of 50 to 80 °C (122 to 176 °F) during 10 minutes of driving.
3. Remove the front propeller shaft from vehicle (with AWD models). Refer to PR-5, "
Removal and Installa-
tion" .
4. After warming up remove the oil pressure detection plug and install the oil pressure gauge [ST2505S001(J-34301-C)].
CAUTION:
When using the oil pressure gauge, be sure to use the O-
ring attached to the oil pressure detection plug.
5. Securely engage the parking brake so that the tires do not turn.

6. Start the engine, then measure the line pressure at both idle and
the stall speed.
CAUTION:
Keep the brake pedal pressed all the way down during
measurement.
When measuring the line pressure at the stall speed,
refer to AT- 5 2 , "
STALL TEST" .
7. After the measurements are complete, install the oil pressure detection plug and tighten to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse the O-ring.
Apply ATF to the O-ring.

Judgement Possible cause
Idle speed Low for all positions
(“P”, “R”, “N”, “D”,
“M”) Possible causes include malfunctions in the pressure supply system and low oil pump output.
For example
Oil pump wear
Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking or spring fatigue
Oil strainer oil pump pressure regulator valve passage oil leak
Engine idle speed too low
Only low for a spe-
cific position Possible causes include an oil pressure leak in a passage or device related to the position after
the pressure is distributed by the manual valve.
High Possible causes include a sensor malfunction or malfunction in the line pressure adjustment func-
tion.
For example
Accelerator pedal position signal malfunction
ATF temperature sensor malfunction
Line pressure solenoid malfunction (sticking in OFF state, filter clog, cut line)
Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking

ROAD TEST
Description
The road test checks overall performance of the A/T and analyzes possible malfunction causes.
The road test is carried out in the following three stages.
1. Check before engine is started. Refer to AT- 5 6
.
2. Check at idle. Refer to AT- 5 7
.
3. Cruise test
Inspect all the items from Part 1 to Part 3. Refer to AT- 5 8 , AT- 6 0 , AT- 6 1 .
Before beginning the road test, check the test procedure and inspection items.
Test all inspection items until the symptom is uncovered. Diagnose NG items when all road tests are com-
plete.
Check Before Engine Is StartedACS002LZ
1. CHECK A/T CHECK INDICATOR LAMP
1. Park vehicle on level surface.
2. Move selector lever to “P” position.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
4. Turn ignition switch ON.
Does A/T CHECK indicator lamp light up for about 2 seconds?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Stop the road test and go to AT- 1 9 3 , "
A/T CHECK Indicator Lamp Does Not Come On" .
2. CHECK A/T CHECK INDICATOR LAMP
Does A/T CHECK indicator lamp flash for about 8 seconds?
YES >> For TCM fail-safe mode, perform self-diagnostics and record all NG items on the AT- 4 7 , "DIAG-
NOSTIC WORKSHEET" . Refer to AT- 9 3 , "SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULT MODE" , AT- 1 0 3 , "Diag-
nostic Procedure without CONSULT-II" .
NO >> 1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Perform self-diagnostics and record all NG items on the AT- 4 7 , "
DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET"
. Refer to AT- 9 3 , "SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULT MODE" , AT- 1 0 3 , "Diagnostic Procedure with-
out CONSULT-II" .
3. Go to AT- 5 7 , "
Check at Idle" .
Stall speed Oil pressure does
not rise higher than
the oil pressure for
idle. Possible causes include a sensor malfunction or malfunction in the pressure adjustment function.
For example
Accelerator pedal position signal malfunction
TCM breakdown
Line pressure solenoid malfunction (shorting, sticking in ON state)
Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
Pilot valve sticking or pilot filter clogged
The pressure rises,
but does not enter
the standard posi-
tion. Possible causes include malfunctions in the pressure supply system and malfunction in the pres-
sure adjustment function.
For example
Accelerator pedal position signal malfunction
Line pressure solenoid malfunction (sticking, filter clog)
Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
Pilot valve sticking or pilot filter clogged
Only low for a spe-
cific position Possible causes include an oil pressure leak in a passage or device related to the position after
