Line Pressure Test
- With engine off, remove pressure tap plug from line pressure tap on transaxle. See Figure. Attach pressure gauge to line pressure tap using NEW sealing washer. Tighten hose fitting to 13 ft. lbs. (18 N.m).
- Disconnect transaxle sub-harness 14-pin connector, located near top left of transaxle. See Figure. With shift lever in "P" position, start and operate engine at 2000 RPM. Note line pressure. Place shift lever in "N" position and note line pressure.
- Line pressure should be within specification. See HYDRAULIC PRESSURE TEST SPECIFICATIONS table. If line pressure is not within specification, see HYDRAULIC PRESSURE TEST TROUBLE SHOOTING table.
- Allow engine to idle. Connect battery voltage to Red wire and battery ground to White wire of transaxle sub-harness connector. See Figure. Linear solenoid should engage.
- Note fully closed throttle line pressure with sub-harness disconnected and voltage applied. Line pressure should be within specification. See HYDRAULIC PRESSURE TEST SPECIFICATIONS table. If line pressure is not within specification, see HYDRAULIC PRESSURE TEST TROUBLE SHOOTING table. Turn engine off. Reconnect transaxle sub-harness 14-pin connector. Remove pressure gauge set.
- Using NEW sealing washer, install and tighten pressure tap plug to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
NOTE:
Clutch pressure should be checked at each clutch pressure tap on transaxle. See Figure.
