Measurement of the automatic transmission operating pressure (AWR6B45)

1. Measurement of the automatic transmission operating pressure

1. Confirm the following condition before the function check.

Perform function inspection after engine inspection and adjustment.

1) ATF temperature is in hot condition.

Standard: 50 to 60 ℃ { 122 to 140 °F }

2) Switch of A/C and light etc are off.

Warning

  • Before performing the function inspection, make sure to secure the vehicle to stop it from jumping out.

2. Hydraulic test

1) Chock 4 wheels and apply parking brake fully, lock vehicle perfectly.

2) Install the oil pressure gauge to the test hole for line pressure.

Legend

  1. Test hole for line pressure

3) While depressing the brake pedal, move the select lever to D range and R range, and measure the line pressure at each engine speed.

Caution

  • Because of associated sudden increases in ATF oil temperature, do not let the tests continue for 5 seconds or more at the engine speed of 2000 rpm.
  • Perform 3 times or more and take the average.
