Test Result Indications

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Dodge Dakota. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. If proper line pressure is found in any one test, the pump and pressure regulator are working properly.
  2. Low pressure in all positions indicates a defective pump, a clogged filter, or a stuck pressure regulator valve.
  3. Clutch circuit leaks are indicated if pressures do not fall within the specified pressure range.
  4. If the overdrive clutch pressure is greater than 5 psi in Step 6 of Test Three, a worn reaction shaft seal ring or a defective solenoid assembly is indicated.
  5. If the underdrive clutch pressure is greater than 5 psi in Step 4 of Test Two-A, a defective solenoid/pressure switch assembly or controller is the cause.
