Line Pressure Test

WARNING: Draining the ATF when it is hot is dangerous. Hot ATF can shoot out when the square-head is removed, causing burns and serious injury. Wait until the transaxle and ATF are cool before draining the ATF.








1. Connect the SST (49 B019 901, 49 B019 903, and 49 H019 002) to the line pressure inspection port.
2. Shift the selector lever to D range and read the line pressure at idle.
3. Connect the SST (49 B019 902) to the line pressure inspection port.

CAUTION: If the accelerator pedal is pressed for longer than 5 seconds while the brake pedal is pressed, the transaxle could be damaged. Therefore, do steps 4 and 5 within 5 seconds of each other.

4. Firmly depress the brake pedal with the left foot, and then gradually depress the accelerator pedal with the right.
5. When the engine speed no longer increases, quickly read the engine speed and release the accelerator.
6. Shift the selector to N position and let the engine idle for 1 minute or more to cool the ATF.





7. Read the line pressure at idle and at the engine stall speed for each range in the same manner.
8. Install a new square head plug in the inspection port and tighten to 5.0 - 9.8 Nm (44 - 86 inch lbs.).
