Test Result Indications
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Dodge Journey and 2015 Dodge Journey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- If proper line pressure is found in any one test, the pump and pressure regulator are working properly.
- Low pressure in all positions indicates a defective pump, a clogged filter, or a stuck pressure regulator valve.
- Clutch circuit leaks are indicated if pressures do not fall within the specified pressure range.
- If the overdrive clutch pressure is greater than 5 psi in Step 4 of Test Three, a worn reaction shaft seal ring or a defective solenoid assembly is indicated.
- If the underdrive clutch pressure is greater than 5 psi in Step 4 of Test Two A, a defective solenoid assembly or PCM/TCM is the cause.
