Hydraulic Test

  1. MEASURE LINE PRESSURE 
    NOTE:
    • Perform the test at the normal operating ATF temperature: 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F).
    • The line pressure test should always be performed with at least 2 people. One person should observe the condition of the wheels or wheel chocks while the other is performing the test.
    • Be careful to prevent SST's hose from interfering with the exhaust pipe.
    • This test must be performed after checking and adjusting the engine.
    • Perform the test with the A/C OFF.
    • When conducting the stall test, do not continue for more than 10 seconds.
    1. Warm up the ATF.
    2. Lift the vehicle up.
    3. Remove the test plug on the transmission case center right side and connect SST.

    4. Fully apply the parking brake and chock the 4 wheels.
    5. Start the engine and check idling speed.
    6. Keep your left foot firmly on the brake pedal and move the shift lever to D.
    7. Measure the line pressure when the engine is idling.
    8. Depress the accelerator pedal as much a possible.

      Quickly read the highest line pressure reading when the engine speed reaches stall speed.

    9. Perform the measure line pressure test again with the shift lever on R.

      Specified line pressure: 

      SHIFT LEVER SPECIFICATION

      Condition Shift Lever on D Shift Lever on R
      Idling 361 to 421 kPa (3.7 to 4.3 kgf/cm2 , 53 to 61 psi) 495 to 576 kPa (5.0 to 5.9 kgf/cm2 , 71 to 84 psi)
      Stall 1,236 to 1,332 kPa (12.6 to 13.6 kgf/cm2 , 179 to 193 psi) 1,229 to 1,349 kPa (12.5 to 13.8 kgf/cm2 , 178 to 196 psi)
