WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Nissan Sentra, 2002 Infiniti G20, 2001 Nissan Sentra, and 2001 Infiniti G20. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Check engine and transaxle fluid levels, and add fluid as necessary. Warm engine and transaxle to normal operating temperature. Install pressure gauge to line pressure port. See Fig 1 and Fig 2 .
  2. Set parking brake and block wheels. Apply foot brake fully while line pressure test at stall speed is performed. Start engine and measure line pressure at idle and stall speed in "D", "2", "1" and "R" positions. When measuring line pressure at stall speed, follow the stall speed test procedure. See STALL SPEED TEST . Note pressure readings and refer to specifications. See LINE PRESSURE SPECIFICATIONS  table.
