LW2 V6-3.0L VIN R (2000)
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.
2.
Hook up Scan tool.
3.
Start engine and set parking brake.
4.
Check for stored diagnostic trouble codes, including the diagnostic code for a pressure control solenoid.
5.
Repair vehicle if necessary. Include the following areas:
^
Inspect fluid level.
^
Inspect manual linkage at transaxle.
^
Install or connect Scan tool.
6.
Remove the line pressure tap plug and install SA9127E to transaxle.
7.
Put gear selector in Park and set parking brake.
8.
Start engine and allow engine to warm up at idle.
9.
Access PC Solenoid Control test on Scan tool.
10.
Slowly increase engine speed to 1100-1300 rpm and maintain this engine speed throughout the test.
11.
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 afier each current change.
IMPORTANT:
Before reinstalling the line pressure tap plug, apply Loctite 242(R) to the thread of the plug.
12.
Remove Gauge Bar Set (5A9127E) and install the line pressure tap plug.
IMPORTANT:
The pressures in the table assume a temperature of 70°C (150°F). The pressure will vary at different temperatures.
13.
Compare your data to the line pressure table.
