AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE [FS5A-EL]

Evaluation of line pressure test

Condition Possible cause
• Worn oil pump
• Oil leaking from oil pump, control valve body, and/or transaxle case
Low pressure in all positions/ranges • Pressure regulator valve stuck
I
• Pressure control solenoid malfunction
• Solenoid reducing valve stuck
Low pressure in D, M (1 GR, 2GR) only • Oil leaking from forward clutch hydraulic circuit
Low pressure in M (2GR) only • Oil leaking from 2-4 brake band hydraulic circuit
Low pressure in M (1GR), R only • Oil leaking from low and reverse brake hydraulic circuit
Low pressure in R only • Oil leaking from reverse clutch hydraulic circuit
• Pressure control solenoid malfunction and/or open harness
Higher pressure in all positions/ranges • Pressure regulator valve stuck
I • TCM malfunction

Stall Test

•
1, Perform mechanical system test preparation. (See 05-17B-3 Mechanical System Test Preparation.)
2. Start the engine and shift the selector lever to R position.

Caution
• Do not maintain WOT in any position/range for more than 5 seconds, or transaxle damage will
occur.

3. Firmly depress the brake pedal with the left foot, and depress the accelerator pedal to floor (WOT) with the

right.

4. When the engine speed no longer increases, quickly read the engine speed and release the accelerator pedal.
5. Shift the selector lever to N position and let the engine idle for 1 minute or more to cool the ATF.
6. Perform stall tests of D, M (1 GR, 2GR) ranges in the same manner.
7. Turn off the engine.

In R position
in low and reverse brake or reverse clutch
• Engine braking felt in M (1 GR) range:
,i Reverse clutch is defective.
,I • Engine braking not felt in M (1 GR) range:
i Low and reverse brake is defective.
Below specification • Engine lack of power
