  1. Connect oil pressure gauge to "R/C" and "K/D" port.
  2. Engine "ON".
  3. Drive a car at gear position 2 in "D RANGE".
  4. Compare actual value to specifications.

    NOTE:
    • "-" is 0.2 (0.3)kg/cm2 or less and " ( )" is the reverse.
    • SW-ON: Turn the overdrive control switch ON.
    • SW-OFF: Turn the overdrive control switch OFF.
    • The hydraulic pressure may be more than standard value at the ambient temperature.

    * The values are subject to change according to vehicle model or condition

  5. Is oil pressure value within specification?

    YES  : --> Repair AUTO TRANSAXLE (Clutch or brake) as necessary and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.

    NO  : --> Replace AUTO TRANSAXLE (BODY CONTROL VALVE faulty) as necessary and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
