L200 L4-2.2L VIN F (2002)
Line pressures are calibrated for two sets of gear ranges - Drive-Park-Neutral and Reverse. This allows transaxle line pressure to be appropriate for
different pressure needs in different gear ranges.
Important:
The Scan tool is only able to control the pressure control (PC) solenoid in Park and Neutral with vehicle stopped. This protects transaxle clutches
from extremely high or low pressure in Drive or Reverse ranges.
1.
Hook up Scan tool.
2.
Start engine and set parking brake.
3.
Check for stored diagnostic trouble codes, including the diagnostic trouble code for a pressure control solenoid.
4.
Repair vehicle if necessary. Include the following areas:
^
Inspect fluid level.
^
Inspect manual linkage at transaxle.
5.
Remove the line pressure tap plug and install Special Tool SA9127E (Gauge Bar Set) to transaxle.
6.
Put gear selector in "P" and set parking brake.
7.
Start engine and allow engine to warm up at idle.
8.
Access PC Solenoid Control test on Scan tool.
9.
Slowly increase engine speed to 1100-1300 rpm and maintain this engine speed throughout the test.
10.
Increase PC solenoid amperage in 0, 1 amp increments. Read and record corresponding line pressure on pressure gauge. Allow pressure to
stabilize for five seconds after each current change.
Important:
The line pressures in the table listed in this bulletin assume a temperature of 70°C (150°F). The pressure will vary at different temperatures.
11.
Compare your data to the line pressure table in this bulletin.
12.
If the pressures recorded are within the ranges in the table in this bulletin, and the pressures did stabilize with current change, refer to the
appropriate model year L-Series Automatic Transaxle Service Manual to diagnose the cause of the long shift time.
13.
If the pressure recorded does not match with the table in this bulletin or the pressures do not stabilize:
^
The 2000-2002 Pressure Control Solenoid and the 2003-2004 Pressure Control Solenoid are not interchangeable.
