Mechanical System Test Preparation

1.Apply the parking brake firmly, and set the wheel blocks for both the front and rear wheels.

2.Inspect the engine coolant level. (See ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL INSPECTION [SKYACTIV-G (WITH CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (US))].)

3.Inspect the engine oil level. (See ENGINE OIL LEVEL INSPECTION [SKYACTIV-G (WITH CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (US))].)

4.Inspect the ATF level. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID (ATF) INSPECTION [EV6A-EL, EV6AX-EL].)

5.Inspect the ignition timing. (See ENGINE TUNE-UP [SKYACTIV-G (WITH CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (US))].)

6.Inspect the idle speed. (See ENGINE TUNE-UP [SKYACTIV-G (WITH CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (US))].)

7.Verify that no DTCs are stored.



Line Pressure Test

1.Perform the mechanical system test preparation. (See Mechanical System Test Preparation.)

2.Disconnect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [(US)].)

3.Remove the following parts as a single unit. (See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G (WITH CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (US))].)

• Air cleaner cover
• Air cleaner element
• Fresh-air duct
• Air cleaner case
• Air hose
• Resonance chamber

4.Remove the bolts and set the wiring harness and wiring harness bracket in a place which does not interfere with servicing.

5.Remove the pressure detection square head plug.

Warning
• Do not remove the square head plug when the ATF temperature is high. Otherwise, ATF could overflow and cause severe burns or serious injury. Remove the square head plug when the transaxle and ATF temperatures are low.
Note
• Use a suitable oil pressure gauge that corresponds to the line pressure because the maximum scale value differs depending on the oil pressure gauge.

6.Install SSTs (49 D019 908, 49 D019 909, 49 D019 910, 49 D019 911, 49 D019 913) to the line pressure detection port as shown in the figure.

9.Start the engine.

10.Warm up the engine until the ATF temperature is 60—70 °C {140—158 °F}.

11.Shift the selector lever to the D position.

12.Measure the line pressure while idling in D position.

13.Measure the line pressures while idling in the M (1st gear) and R positions using the same procedure.

14.Stop the engine.

15.Change the low-pressure gauge (49 D019 908) to the high-pressure gauge (49 D019 907).

16.Start the engine.

17.Measure the line pressure while stalling in D position.

(1)Strongly depress the brake pedal with the left foot.
(2)Shift the selector lever to the D position.
Caution
• To prevent damage to the transaxle, measure the line pressure while stalling (Step (3) (4)) within 5 s.
(3)Slowly depress the accelerator pedal fully with the right foot all the way down.
(4)Read the line pressure quickly while stalling, and remove the right foot from the accelerator pedal.
(5)Shift the selector lever to the N position and idle for 1 min or more.

18.Measure the line pressure while stalling for positions other than D in the same procedure.

• If there is any malfunction, one of the following causes may have occurred:

Condition

• Pressure regulator valve sticking
• Pressure control solenoid operation malfunction
• Solenoid reducing valve sticking
Lower in D and M (1GR) position
• ATF leakage from low clutch hydraulic circuit
Lower in R and M (1GR) position
• ATF leakage from low and reverse brake hydraulic circuit
Lower in R position
• ATF leakage from R-3-5 brake hydraulic circuit
Higher than specification
