temperature reaches 70 to 80qC (158 176qF).
2. Stop the engine and block the RH and LH rear wheels with
the wheel chocks.
3. Install the following special tools at the hydraulic pressure
outlet ports shown in the figure.
x Oil pressure gauge (MD998330)
x Joint (MD998331)
x Joint (MB992127)
NOTE: .
DR: Torque converter output pressure port
PRI: Primary pressure port
PL: Line pressure port
FWD: Forward clutch pressure port
REV: Reverse brake pressure port
4. Restart the engine.
5. Make sure that no transmission fluid leakage is found at the
special tool fixing points.
6. Pull the parking brake lever and fully depress the brake
pedal. (Maintain this operation until measurement is
completed.)
WARNING
For safety, operators must not stand in front of and at
the rear of the vehicle during this test.
7. Measure the hydraulic pressure at each measuring point in
the conditions specified in the standard hydraulic pressure
table, and check that the measurements are within the
standard value.
8. If not within the standard value, take necessary steps
according to the hydraulic pressure test diagnosis table.
9. Stop the engine.
10.Replace the O-rings on the plugs for each pressure port.
11.Remove the special tools and fit the plugs in the hydraulic
pressure ports.
12.Install the plugs. Then, start the engine and check that no
transmission fluid leakage is found around the plugs.
