NOTE: If the oil pressure warning indicator stays on
with the engine running, check the engine oil l
evel. If
the oil level is correct do the following test:
1. With the engine stopped, remove the oil pressure switch (see page 8-9), then install an oil pressure
gauge (A).
2. Start the engine. Shut it off immediately if the gauge registers no oil pressure. Repair the problem
before continuing.
3. Allow the engine to reach operating temperature (fan comes on at least twice). The pressure should
be:
4. If the oil pressure is out of specifications, inspect these items:
 Blocking of oil filter (see page 8-11).
 Blocking of oil screen.
 Inspect the oil pressure relief valve (see page 8-15).
 Inspect the oil pump (see page 8-17). 1. Warm up the engine.
2. Remove the drain bolt (A), and drain the engine oil.
3. Reinstall the drain bolt with a new washer (B).
4. Refill the engine with the recommended oil
(see page 3-2).
Do not overtighten.

29. Reconnect all connectors.
30. Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest
software (see page 11-227), or substitute a known-
good ECM/PCM (see page 11-7).
31. Start the engine, and let idle.
32. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.
Check for poor connections or loose
terminals at the secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) and
the ECM/PCM. If the ECM/PCM was updated,
substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see page 11-7),
then go to step 31. If the ECM/PCM was substituted,
go to step 1.
Go to step 33.
33. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0141 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
If the ECM/PCM was updated,
troubleshooting is complete. If the ECM/PCM was
substituted, replace the original ECM/PCM
(see page 11-228). If any other Temporary DTCs or
DTCs were indicated in step 32, go to the indicated
DTC’s troubleshooting.
If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor
connections or loose terminals at the secondary
HO2S (Sensor 2) and the ECM/PCM. If the ECM/
PCM was updated, substitute a known-good ECM/
PCM (see page 11-7), then go to step 31. If the ECM/
PCM was substituted, go to step 1. If the screen
indicates NOT COMPLETED, keep idling until a
result comes on. NOTE:
 Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review the general
troubleshooting information (see page 11-3).
 If any of the DTCs listed below are indicated at the same time as DTC P0171 and/or P0172, troubleshoot
those DTCs first, then recheck for P0171 and/or P0172.

1. Check the fuel pressure (see page 11-325).
Go to step 2.
 If the pressure is too high, replace the fuel pressure regulator (see page 11-337), then go to
step 7.
 If the pressure is too low, check the fuel pump, the fuel feed pipe and the fuel filter. If they are
OK, replace the fuel pressure regulator (see page

Hydraulic Flow
Distribution of Hydraulic Pressure
Hydraulic Pressure at the Port for use in the hydraulic circuitPortNo. Hydraulic Pressure Port
No.Hydraulic Pressure
14-57
As the engine turns, the ATF pump starts to operate. Automatic transmission fluid (ATF) is drawn through the ATF
strainer (filter) and discharged into the hydraulic circuit. Then, ATF flowing from the ATF pump becomes line pressure
that is regulated by the regulator valve. Torque converter pressure from the regulator valve enters the torque
converter through the lock-up shift valve, and it is discharged from the torque converter. The torque converter check
valve prevents torque converter pressure from rising.
The PCM switches shift solenoid valves ON and OFF. The shift solenoid valve intercepts line pressure from the ATF
pump via the manual valve when the shift solenoid valve is OFF. When the shift solenoid valve is turned ON by the
PCM, line pressure changes to shift solenoid valve pressure at the shift solenoid valve, then the shift solenoid valve
pressure flows to the shift valve. Applying shift solenoid pressure to the shift valves moves the position of the shift
valve, and switches the port of the hydraulic circuit. The PCM also controls A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves
A, B, and C. The A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves regulate hydraulic pressure, and applies pressure to the
clutches to engage smoothly. The clutches receive optimum clutch pressure which is regulated by the A/T clutch
pressure control solenoid valves for comfortable driving and shifting under all conditions.

3. Inspect the drive belt (see page 4-30).
4. Make sure no material is blocking the air flow to the
A/C condenser.
5. Check the dust and pollen filter. Replace it if it is clogged (see page 21-75).
6. Check for kinks or sharp bends in the A/C lines and hoses, which can greatly reduce system
performance. Replace A/C lines and hoses if they
are kinked or damaged (see page 21-8).
7. Start the engine, turn the air conditioning system on, and allow it to run for a few minutes and reach
stable operation.
 Check that the A/C operates at each position of the blower fan switch (except OFF). If the A/C
does not operate, refer to the symptom
troubleshooting.
 Check that the A/C compressor clutch (A) is engaged. The pressure plate should be rotating
at the same speed as the pulley. If the pressure
plate does not engage, refer to the symptom
troubleshooting.
 Check that the A/C condenser fan (B) and radiator fan (C) operate when the A/C compressor clutch
is engaged. If either fan fails to operate when the
A/C compressor clutch is engaged, refer to the
symptom troubleshooting.
 Check that the engine idle speed is correctly maintained when the A/C is switched on and off
and the A/C compressor clutch is engaged and
disengaged. Recommended PAG oil: SP-10
P/N 38897-P13-A01AH: 120 mL (4 fl·oz)
It is important to have the correct amount of refrigerant
oil in the A/C system to ensure proper lubrication of the
compressor. Too little oil damages the compressor; too
much oil reduces the cooling capacity of the system,
and can produce high vent temperatures.
 To avoid contamination, do not return the oil to the container once dispensed, and never mix it with other
refrigerant oils.
 Immediately after using the oil, reinstall the cap on the container, and seal it to avoid moisture
absorption.
 Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; if it gets on the paint, wash it off
immediately.

listed if you replace any of the following parts: ........
