CHECKING RELIEF OIL PRESSURE
CAUTION:
Before starting work, confirm belt tension is proper.
1. Connect Tool between oil pump discharge connector and high pressure hose and then bleed air from the hydraulic circuit.
2. Start engine. Allow engine to run until tank temperature reaches 50 °– 80 °C (122 °– 176 °F).
CAUTION:
 Warm up engine with shut-off valve fully opened. If engine is started with shut-off valve closed,
fluid pressure in power steering pump increases to maximum. This will raise fluid temperature
excessively.
 Be careful not to contact hose with belt when engine is started.
3. With engine at idle, close shut-off valve and read the relief oil pressure.
CAUTION:
Do not close shut-off valve of pressu re gauge for more than 10 seconds.
4. After measurement, open shut-off valve slowly.  If relief oil pressure is outside the specific ation, repair or replace oil pump. Refer to ST-35, "Disassembly
and Assembly" .
5. After inspection, disconnect oil pressure gauge and oil pressure gauge adapter from hydraulic circuit, con-
nect oil pump discharge connector and high pressure hose. Add fluid and bleed air from hydraulic circuit
thoroughly. Refer to ST-13, "Air Bleeding Hydraulic System"
.

 This line pressure solenoid controls the pressure regulat or valve as the signal pressure and adjusts the pres-
sure of the operating oil discharged from the oil pump to the line pressure most appropriate to the driving
state.
LINE PRESSURE CONTROL IS BASED ON TH E TCM LINE PRESSURE CHARACTERISTIC PAT-
TERN
 The TCM has stored in memory a number of patterns fo r the optimum line pressure characteristic for the
driving state.
 In order to obtain the most appropriate line pressure char acteristic to meet the current driving state, the TCM
controls the line pressure solenoid current value and thus controls the line pressure.
Normal Control
Each clutch is adjusted to the necessary pressure to match the
engine drive force.
Back-up Control (Engine Brake)
When the select operation is performed during driving and the trans-
mission is shifted down, the line pressure is set according to the
vehicle speed.

A/T CONTROL SYSTEM
The necessary and adequate line pressure for shift change is set.
For this reason, line pressure pattern setting corresponds to input
torque and gearshift selection. Also, line pressure characteristic is
set according to engine speed, during engine brake operation.
At Low Fluid Temperature
When the A/T fluid temperature drops below the prescribed tempera-
ture, in order to speed up the action of each friction element, the line
pressure is set higher than the normal line pressure characteristic.
Shift ControlINFOID:0000000003771812
The clutch pressure control solenoid is controlled by the signals from the switches and sensors. Thus, the
clutch pressure is adjusted to be appropriate to the engine load state and vehicle driving state. It becomes
possible to finely control the clutch hydraulic pressu re with high precision and a smoother shift change charac-
teristic is attained.
SHIFT CHANGE
The clutch is controlled with the optimum timing and oil pressure by the engine speed, engine torque informa-
tion, etc.

A/T CONTROL SYSTEM
When shifting from the lock-up released state to the lock-up applied state, the current output to the torque con-
verter clutch solenoid is controlled with the TCM. In th is way, when shifting to the lock-up applied state, the
torque converter clutch is temporarily set to the half-clutched state to reduce the shock.
Half-clutched State
 The current output from the TCM to the torque converte r clutch solenoid is varied to gradually increase the
torque converter clutch solenoid pressure.
In this way, the lock-up apply pressure gradually rises and while the torque converter clutch piston is put into
half-clutched status, the torque converter clutch pi ston operating pressure is increased and the coupling is
completed smoothly.
Slip Lock-up Control
 In the slip region, the torque converter clutch solenoid current is controlled with the TCM to put it into the
half-clutched state. This absorbs the engine tor que fluctuation and lock-up operates from low speed.
This raises the fuel efficiency for 4GR and 5GR at both low speed and when the accelerator has a low
degree of opening.
Engine Brake ControlINFOID:0000000003771814
 The forward one-way clutch transmits the drive force from the engine to the rear wheels. But the reverse
drive from the rear wheels is not transmitted to the engine because the one-way clutch is idling.
Therefore, the low coast brake solenoid is operated to prevent the forward one-way clutch from idling and
the engine brake is operated in the same manner as conventionally.
 The operation of the low coast brake solenoid switches the low coast brake switching valve and controls the
coupling and releasing of the low coast brake.
The low coast brake reducing valve contro ls the low coast brake coupling force.
Control ValveINFOID:0000000003771815
FUNCTION OF CONTROL VALVE

Name Function
Torque converter regulator valve In order to prevent the pressure supplied to the torque converter from being excessive,
the line pressure is adjusted to the optimum pressure (torque converter operating pres-
sure).
Pressure regu lator valve
Pressure regulator plug
Pressure regu lator sleeve Adjusts the oil discharged from the oil pump to the optimum pressure (line pressure) for

DescriptionINFOID:0000000003771902
The line pressure solenoid valve regulates the oil pump discharge pressure to suit the driving condition in
response to a signal sent from the TCM.
The line pressure duty cycle value is not consistent when the closed throttle position signal is “ON”.
To confirm the line pressure duty cycle at low pressu re, the accelerator (throttle) should be open until
the closed throttle posi tion signal is “OFF”.
