LINE PRESSURE TEST
Line Pressure Test Ports
Location of line pressure test ports are shown in the figure.

Always replace pressure plugs as they are self-sealing
bolts.
Line Pressure Test Procedure
1. Check ATF and engine oil levels. If necessary, add ATF or
engine oil.
2. Drive vehicle for approx. 10 minutes or until engine oil and ATF
reach operating temperature.
3. Install oil pressure gauge to corresponding line pressure test
port.
4. Set parking brake and block wheels.

5. Start engine and measure line pressure at idle and stall speed.
CAUTION:

Keep the brake pedal pressed all the way down during
measurement.

When measuring line pressure at stall speed, refer to AT-

Oil pump wear

Control piston damage

Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking

Spring for pressure regulator valve damaged

Fluid pressure leakage between oil strainer and pressure regulator valve

Clogged strainer
Line pressure is low in particular posi-
tion.

Fluid pressure leakage between manual valve and particular clutch

For example, line pressure is:
− Low in “R” and “1” positions, but
− Normal in “D”, “3” and “2” positions.
Therefore, fluid leakage exists at or around low and reverse brake circuit.
Refer to AT-18, "
CLUTCH AND BAND CHART" .
Line pressure is high.

Accelerator pedal position signal malfunction

A/T fluid temperature sensor damaged

Line pressure solenoid valve sticking

LINE PRESSURE SOLENOID VALVE

LINE PRESSURE SOLENOID VALVEPFP:31940
DescriptionBCS0012I
Line pressure solenoid valve regulates oil pump discharge pressure to suit the driving condition in response to
a signal sent from TCM.
The line pressure duty cycle value is not consistent when the closed throttle position switch is ON. To
confirm the line pressure duty cycle at low-pressure, accelerator (throttle) should be open until the
closed throttle position switch is “OFF”.
CONSULT-II Reference ValveBCS0026L
On Board Diagnosis LogicBCS0012J
Diagnostic trouble code “LINE PRESSURE S/V” with CONSULT-II or 11th judgement flicker without CON-
SULT-II is detected when TCM detects an improper voltage drop when it tries to operate the solenoid valve.
Possible CauseBCS0012K

DTC Confirmation ProcedureBCS0012L
CAUTION:
If performing this “DTC Confirmation Procedure” again, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait at
least 10 seconds before continuing.
After the repair, perform the following procedure to confirm that the malfunction is eliminated.
WITH CONSULT-II
1. Turn ignition switch ON. (Do not start engine.)
2. Select “DATA MONITOR” mode for “A/T” with CONSULT-II.
3. Depress accelerator pedal completely and wait at least 1 sec-
ond.
4. If DTC is detected, go to AT- 1 2 9 , "
Diagnostic Procedure" .
WITHOUT CONSULT-II
1. Start engine.
2. With brake pedal depressed, shift the lever from “P” → “N” → “D” → “N” → “P” positions.
3. Perform self-diagnosis. Refer to AT- 7 6 , "
Diagnostic Procedure Without CONSULT-II" .
4. If the check result is NG, go to AT- 1 2 9 , "
