8. Cool down the ATF.
CAUTION:
Run the engine at idle for at least 1 minute.
9. Repeat steps 5 through 8 with selector lever in “R” position.
Judgement of Stall Test
O: Stall speed within standard value position
H: Stall speed higher than standard value
L: Stall speed lower than standard value
Stall test standard value position
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 ATF reaches in range of 50 to 80 °C (122 to
176 °F), then inspect the amount of ATF and replenish if necessary.
NOTE:
The A/T fluid temperature rises in range of 50 to 80 °C (122 to 176 °F) during 10 minutes of driving.
3. Remove the front propeller shaft from vehicle (with AWD models). Refer to PR-5, "
Removal and Installa-
tion" .

4. After warming up remove the oil pressure detection plug and
install the oil pressure gauge [ST2505S001(J-34301-C)].
CAUTION:
When using the oil pressure gauge, be sure to use the O-
ring attached to the oil pressure detection plug.
5. Securely engage the parking brake so that the tires do not turn.
6. Start the engine, 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 AT- 5 3 , "
STALL TEST" .
7. After the measurements are complete, install the oil pressure detection plug and tighten to the specified torque.
CAUTION:

Do not reuse the O-ring.

Apply ATF to the O-ring.

Judgement of Line Pressure Test
ROAD TEST
Description

The road test checks overall performance of the A/T and analyzes possible malfunction causes.

The road test is carried out in the following three stages.
1. Check before engine is started. Refer to AT- 5 7
.
2. Check at idle. Refer to AT- 5 7
.
3. Cruise test

Inspect all the items from Part 1 to Part 3. Refer to AT- 5 8 , AT- 6 0 , AT- 6 1 .

Before beginning the road test, check the test procedure and inspection items.

Test all inspection items until the symptom is uncovered. Diagnose NG items when all road tests are com-
plete.
Judgement Possible cause
Idle speed Low for all positions
(“P”, “R”, “N”, “D”,
“M”) 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
Stall speed Line pressure does
not rise higher than
the line 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.

4. CHECK “N” POSITION FUNCTIONS
1. Start engine.
2. Move selector lever to “N” position.
3. Release the parking brake.
Does vehicle move forward or backward?
YES >> Enter a check mark at AT- 1 9 2 , "In “N” Position, Vehicle Moves" on the AT- 4 7 , "DIAGNOSTIC
WORKSHEET" , then continue the road test.
NO >> GO TO 5.
5. CHECK SHIFT SHOCK
1. Engage the brake.
2. Move selector lever to “D” position.
When the transmission is shifted from
“N” to “D”, is there an excessive shock?
YES >> Enter a check mark at AT- 1 9 3 , "Large Shock (“N” to “D” Position)" on the AT- 4 7 , "DIAGNOSTIC
WORKSHEET" , then continue the road test.
NO >> GO TO 6.
6. CHECK “R” POSITION FUNCTIONS
1. Engage the brake.
2. Move selector lever to “R” position.
3. Release the brake for 4 to 5 seconds.
Does the vehicle creep backward?
YES >> GO TO 7.
NO >> Enter a check mark at AT- 1 9 6 , "
Vehicle Does Not Creep Backward in “R” Position" on the AT- 4 7 ,
"DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET" , then continue the road test.
7. CHECK “D” POSITION FUNCTIONS
Inspect whether the vehicle creep forward when the A/T is put into the “D” position.
Does the vehicle creep forward in the
“D” position?
YES >> Go to AT- 5 8 , "Cruise Test - Part 1" , AT- 6 0 , "Cruise Test - Part 2" , and AT- 6 1 , "Cruise Test - Part
3" .
NO >> Enter a check mark at AT- 1 9 9 , "
Vehicle Does Not Creep Forward in “D” Position" on the AT- 4 7 ,
"DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET" , then continue the road test.
Cruise Test - Part 1NCS001BK
1. CHECK STARTING OUT FROM D1
1. Drive the vehicle for about 10 minutes to warm up the engine oil and ATF. Appropriate temperature for the ATF: 50 to 80 °C (122 to 176 °F)
2. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
3. Move selector lever to “P” position.
4. Start the engine.
5. Move selector lever to “D” position.
6. Press the accelerator pedal about half-way down to accelerate the vehicle.
With CONSULT-II
Read the gear positions. Refer to AT- 9 5 , "
DATA MONITOR MODE" .
Starts from D1?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Enter a check mark at AT- 2 0 1 , "
Vehicle Cannot Be Started From D1" on the AT- 4 7 , "DIAGNOS-
TIC WORKSHEET" , then continue the road test.
