J 21867: Pressure Gage
For equivalent regional tools refer to Special Tools .
- Install a scan tool.
- Start the engine.
- Inspect the transmission for the proper fluid level. Refer to Transmission Fluid Check .
- Use the scan tool to inspect for any active or stored diagnostic trouble codes. If there are any DTC's refer to that DTC table.
- Inspect the manual linkage at the transmission for proper function.
- Turn the engine OFF.
- Remove the auxiliary pump pressure test hole plug.
- Install the J 21867: pressure gage.
- Access the Scan Tool Hybrid Output Controls for the Aux Trans Pump Speed.
- Turn key to the Run Position but do not start the engine.
- Use the scan tool to increase and decrease the Aux Pump Speed in increments of approximately 10%. The scan tool commands the increment values automatically starting with 10% going up to 80% and returning down to 30%.
- Allow the pressure to stabilize between increments.
- Your pressure readings on the J 21867: pressure gage should slightly increase with each speed command. The J 21867: pressure gage at 10% should be approximately 40-70 PSI and end up at 80% being approximately 90-120 PSI.
- If the pressure readings vary greatly, refer to Auxiliary Fluid Pump Pressure High or Low .
- Turn the key OFF.
- Remove the J 21867: pressure gage.
- Install the auxiliary pump pressure test hole plug. Tighten the pressure plug to 11 N.m (97 lb in).
WARNING:
Keep the brakes applied at all times in order to prevent unexpected vehicle motion. Personal injury may result if the vehicle moves unexpectedly.
WARNING:
When the transmission is at operating temperatures, take necessary precautions when removing the auxiliary pump pressure test hole plug, to avoid being burned by the catalytic converter.
NOTE:
You may need to remove or disconnect components in order to gain access to the transmission auxiliary pump pressure test hole plug.
NOTE:
In order to achieve accurate aux pump pressure readings, the following procedure must be performed at least 3 times in order to gather uniform pressure readings.
CAUTION:
Refer to Fastener Caution
