LINE PRESSURE TEST
5. Start the engine, then measure the line pressure at both idle andthe stall speed.
CAUTION:
• Keep the brake pedal pressed all the way down duringmeasurement.
• When measuring the line pressure at the stall speed, refer
to TM-155, "
Inspection and Judgment".
6. After the measurements are complete, install the oil pressure detection plug and tighten to the regulation torque below.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse the O-ring.

At idle speed 425 - 465 (4.3 - 4.7, 62 - 67) 379 - 428 (3.9 - 4.4, 55 - 62)
At stall speed 1,605 - 1,950 (16.4 - 19.9, 233 - 283) 1,310 - 1,500 (13.4 - 15.3, 190 - 218)
Judgement Possible cause
Idle speed Low for all positions
(P, R, N, D)
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
Sta ll sp ee d 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
the pressure is distributed by the manual valve.

DISASSEMBLY
27. Push A/T assembly harness connector.CAUTION:
Do not damage connector.
28. Remove oil pan and oil pan gasket. Refer to TM-170, "
Oil Pan".
29. Check foreign materials in oil pan to help determine causes of malfunction. If the A/T fluid is very dark, smells burned, or con-
tains foreign particles, the frictional material (clutches, band)
may need replacement. A tacky film that will not wipe clean indi-
cates varnish build up. Varnish can cause valves, servo, and
clutches to stick and can inhibit pump pressure.
• If frictional material is de tected, perform A/T fluid cooler
cleaning. Refer to TM-152, "
A/T Fluid Cooler Cleaning".
30. Remove magnets from oil pan.
31. If an A/T fluid temperature sensor 2 is attached, disconnect the A/T fluid temperature sensor 2 connector
as shown below.
a. Disconnect A/T fluid temperat ure sensor 2 connector (A).
CAUTION:
Do not damage connector.
b. Straighten terminal clips ( ) to free terminal cord assembly and A/T fluid temperature sensor 2 harness.
