Pressure Test: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Special Tools Required 

NOTE:
  • Do not test pressure for more than 10 seconds at a time.
  • Do not move the shift lever while raising the engine speed.
  • Disable the VSA by pressing the VSA OFF button.
  • VSA DTC(s) may come on during the test-drive. If the VSA DTC(s) come on, clear the DTC(s) with the HDS.
  1. Make sure the transmission fluid is filled to the proper level (see CVT FLUID LEVEL CHECK  ).
  2. Raise the vehicle on a lift, or apply the parking brake, block the rear wheels, and raise the front of the vehicle. Make sure it is securely supported, and allow the front wheels to rotate freely.
  3. Remove the splash shield (A) (see SPLASH SHIELD REPLACEMENT ).

  5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  6. Make sure the HDS communicates with the PCM, and go to the A/T Data List. If it does not, go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting (see DLC CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING ).
  7. Use the recommended pressure gauge, pressure hose, and pressure hose adapter. Do not allow dust or other foreign particles to enter the holes while connecting the gauges.
    NOTE:
    • Drive pulley pressure and driven pulley pressure may be above 3, 430 kPa (34.98 kgf/cm2 , 497.5 psi) when there is a transmission problem that causes the PCM to go into fail-safe mode.
    • When troubleshooting, you must use the A/T high pressure gauge to measure drive pulley pressure and driven pulley pressure.
