Line Pressure Test

CAUTION: Carry out Line Pressure Test before carrying out Stall Speed Test. If line pressure is low at stall, do not carry out stall test or further transaxle damage can occur. Do not maintain WOT in any gear range for more than five seconds.
CAUTION: The Transmission Tester must be removed from the transaxle and the vehicle harness connected to verify these pressures.

The Line Pressure Test verifies that the line pressure is within specifications.
