- Connect a 0-100 psi (0-7.0 kg/cm2 ) pressure gauge to EPC pressure tap at right side of transmission case. See Fig 1 . Gauge hose must be long enough to read gauge while operating engine.
- With engine at normal operating temperature, apply parking and service brakes. Check EPC pressure at idle and WOT stall speed in all ranges. See Fig 2 -Fig 7 . If pressure is not as specified, diagnose EPC operation. See TEST D: ELECTRONIC PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID under DIAGNOSTIC TESTS. If EPC operation is okay, see LINE PRESSURE TEST RESULTS .
