STEP 5 (OIL PRESSURE TEST)
This step determines line pressure, and governor pressure to check the hydraulic components and
for oil leakage.
Line Pressure Test
Preparation
1. Connect the SST to the line pressure output point.
2. Connect a tachometer to the engine.
3. Follow the test preparation procedure show in STEP 2 (STALL TEST).
Procedure
76G07C-030
1. Start the engine and verify that the idle speed is 950-5° rpm.
2. Shift the selector lever to D range.
3. Read the line pressure at idle.
4. Depress the brake pedal firmly with the left foot, and gradually depress the accelerator pedal with
the right foot.
5. Read the line pressure as soon as the engine speed becomes constant; then release the accelera-
tor pedal.
Caution
Steps 4 to 5 must be done within 5 seconds.
5. Shift the selector lever to N range and let the engine idle for one minute or more.
6. Read the line pressure at idle and engine stall speeds for each range in the same manner.

ed from P «-» 1 range.

the indicator are exact.
9. Check that the button returns smoothly when used
to shift the selector.
10. If necessary, check the spring.
VACUUM DIAPHRAGM
Inspection
1. Remove the vacuum hose from the vacuum di-
aphragm. Check for ATF leakage. Replace if any
is found.
2. Remove the vacuum diaphragm.
3. Verify that the diaphragm rod moves when vacu-
um is applied.
Caution
When removing the diaphragm, do not drop
the rod into the oil pan.

Vacuum diaphragm
Adjustment
Note
a) Excessive shift shocks and improper shift-
ing often indicate a vacuum diaphragm mal-
function.
b) Remove approximately 1.0 liter (1.1 US qt,
0.9 Imp qt) of ATF before removing the
vacuum diaphragm.
1. Remove the vacuum diaphragm, rod, and O-ring
from the transaxle case.
2. Measure the N dimension indicated in the figure
with the SST and a scale.
3. Select the diaphragm rod in accordance with the
table.
