JUDGEMENT OFLINE PRESSURE TEST

• Ifline pressure doesnotrise, firstcheck tomake surethat
throttle wireisconnected properly.

GOVERNOR PRESSURETESTING

1. Check
AIT
and engine fluidlevels. Ifnecessary, addfluid.
2 .. Drive vehicle forabout 10minutes untilengine oiland ATF
reach operating temperature.

ATF operating temperature:
50 -80°C (122-176°F)

3. Install pressure gaugetogovernor pressureport.
4. Set parking brakeandblock rearwheels.
5. Jack upfront wheels.
6. Set selector leverinDposition anddrive vehicle.

Be careful ofrotating wheels.
•

Governor pressure:
• Governor pressureisnot generated whenvehicle is
stopped. (frontwheels arenotrotating.)
• Governor pressurerisesgradually inresponse tovehicle
speed. (frontwheel rotating speed.)

If not, check governor valveassembly. RefertoAT-36.

CAUTION: If leakage occursaround joints,retighten or,ifnecessary,
replace damaged parts.
1. Check brakelines(tubes andhoses) forcracks, deteriora-
tion orother damage. Replaceanydamaged parts.
2. Check foroilleakage byfully depressing brakepedalwhile
engine isrunning.

Changing BrakeFluid

CAUTION:
• Refill withnewbrake fluid"DOT 3"or"DOT 4".
• Always keepfluidlevel higher thanminimum lineonreser-
voir tank.
• Never reusedrained brakefluid.
• Donot mix different typesofbrake fluids(DOT3,DOT 4).
• Becareful nottosplash brakefluidonpainted areas;itmay •
cause paintdamage. Ifbrake fluidissplashed onpainted :•
areas, washitaway withwater immediately.
1. Clean inside ofreservoir tank,andrefill withnewbrake
fluid.
2. Connect avinyl tubetoeach airbleeder valve.
3. Drain brake fluidfrom each airbleeder valvebydepressing
brake pedal.
4. Refill untilnewbrake fluidcomes outofeach airbleeder
valve.
Use same procedure asinbleeding hydraulic systemto
