LINE PRESSURE TEST
Line Pressure Test Port
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 CVT fluid reaches in the range of 50 to 80°C
(122 to 176°F), then inspect the amount of CVT fluid and replenish if necessary.
NOTE:
The CVT fluid temperature rises in the range of 50 - 80°C (122 - 176°F) during 10 minutes of driving.
3. After warming up CVT, remove the oil pressure detection plug and install the oil pressure gauge [special
service tool: - (OTC3492)].
CAUTION:
When using the oil pressure gauge, be sure to use the O-ring attached to the oil pressure detec-
tion plug.
4. Securely engage the parking brake so that the tires do not turn.
5. Start the engine, and 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 CVT-43, "
STALL TEST" .
6. After the measurements are complete, install the oil pressure
detection plug and tighten to the specified torque below.
CAUTION:

Do not reuse O-ring.

Apply CVT fluid to O-ring.

Judgement of Line Pressure Test
Road TestUCS005YC
DESCRIPTION

The purpose of the test is to determine overall performance of
CVT and analyze causes of problems.

The road test consists of the following three parts:
1. “Check Before Engine Is Started” CVT-49
.
2. “Check at Idle” CVT-49
.
3. “Cruise Test” CVT-50
.
Engine speed Line pressure kPa (kg/cm
2 , psi)
“R”, “D” and “L” positions
At idle 650 (6.63, 94.3)
At stall 4,250 (43.35, 616.3)*
Judgement Possible cause
Idle speedLow for all positions
(“P”, “R”, “N”, “D”, “L”)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 specific
positionPossible causes include an oil pressure leak in a passage or device related to the position after
the pressure is distributed by the manual valve.
HighPossible causes include a sensor malfunction or malfunction in the line pressure adjustment
function.
For example

Accelerator pedal position signal malfunction

CVT fluid temperature sensor malfunction

Pressure control solenoid A (line pressure solenoid) malfunction (sticking in OFF state, filter
clog, cut line)

Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
Stall speedLine pressure does
not rise higher than
the line pressure for
idle.Possible causes include a sensor malfunction or malfunction in the pressure adjustment func-
tion.
For example

Accelerator pedal position signal malfunction

TCM malfunction

Pressure control solenoid A (line pressure solenoid) malfunction (shorting, sticking in ON
state)

Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
The pressure rises,
but does not enter the
standard position.Possible causes include malfunctions in the pressure supply system and malfunction in the
pressure adjustment function.
For example

Accelerator pedal position signal malfunction

Pressure control solenoid A (line pressure solenoid) malfunction (sticking, filter clog)

Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
Only low for a specific
positionPossible causes include an oil pressure leak in a passage or device related to the position after
the pressure is distributed by the manual valve.
