Line Pressure Test
- Connect a pressure gauge to line pressure test port. See Fig 1 . Start engine. Apply service and parking brakes. Check pressure in all gears. See TRANSAXLE PRESSURE SPECIFICATIONS (PSI) .
- If pressure is not within specification, perform QUICK TEST and PINPOINT TEST E. See appropriate AX4S ELECTRONIC CONTROLS article. Also perform air pressure checks and service valve body. See AIR PRESSURE TEST .
- If line pressure is not within specification after servicing valve body and there are no fault codes present during EEC-IV Quick Test procedure, Electronic Pressure Control (EPC) solenoid may have a mechanical fault. Connect pressure gauge to EPC port. Start engine and check pressure at idle and at Wide Open Throttle (WOT). If pressure is not within specification, replace EPC solenoid.
