To determine the line pressure, there are two available methods. The scan tool can be used to read line pressure from the line pressure sensor. The second method is to install Line Pressure Adapter (special tool #8259, Adapter, Pressure Test) (3) into the transmission case and then install the pressure gauge and the original sensor (2) into the adapter. Refer to Fig 2. This will allow a comparison of the scan tool readings and the gauge reading to determine the accuracy of the line pressure sensor. The scan tool line pressure reading should match the gauge reading within ±10 psi.
