Hydraulic Pressure Tests
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2002 Toyota Tundra, 2002 Toyota Tacoma, 2002 Toyota Sequoia, 2002 Toyota 4Runner, and 2001 Toyota Tundra. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Hydraulic pressure test should be performed with transmission fluid temperature of 122-176°F (50-80°C).
- Ensure transmission fluid is at normal operating temperature. Remove plug from right side of transmission case and install appropriate pressure gauge.
- Apply parking and service brakes. Start engine. Ensure idle speed is within manufacturer's specifications. Place gearshift lever in "D" range.
- Check main line pressure with engine at idle. Repeat procedure in "R" range. Compare all readings to specification. See LINE PRESSURE SPECIFICATIONS .
- Check main line pressure at full throttle (stall speed). Read highest pressure when engine reaches stall speed. Repeat procedure in "R" range. Compare all readings to specification. See LINE PRESSURE SPECIFICATIONS . If hydraulic pressures are not to specification, check for the following conditions:
- If line pressure in all ranges exceeds specification, check for defective regulator valve, defective throttle valve or throttle cable out of adjustment (except 4.7L) or faulty line pressure solenoid (except 4.7L).
- If line pressure is below specification in all ranges, check for defective oil pump, defective regulator valve, defective throttle valve, throttle cable out of adjustment (except 4.7L) or faulty line pressure solenoid (except 4.7L). Defective O/D direct clutch.
- If line pressure is below specification in "D" range only, check for defective forward clutch, fluid leak in "D" range circuit or defective O/D clutch.
- If line pressure is low in "R" range only, check for defective direct clutch, fluid leak in "R" range circuit or defective 1st and reverse brake.
