TEST RESULT INDICATIONS
(1) If proper line pressure is found in any one test,
the pump and pressure regulator are working prop-
erly.
(2) Low pressure in all positions indicates a defec-
tive pump, a clogged filter, or a stuck pressure regu-
lator valve.
(3) Clutch circuit leaks are indicated if pressures
do not fall within the specified pressure range.
(4) If the overdrive clutch pressure is greater than
5 psi in Step 6 of Test Three, a worn reaction shaft
seal ring or a defective solenoid assembly is indi-
cated.
(5) If the underdrive clutch pressure is greater
than 5 psi in Step 4 of Test Two-A, a defective sole-
noid/pressure switch assembly or TCM is the cause.
CLUTCH AIR PRESSURE TESTS
Inoperative clutches can be located by substituting
air pressure for fluid pressure. The clutches may be
tested by applying air pressure to their respective
passages after the valve body has been removed. Use
Special Tool 6599-1 and 6599-2 to perform test (Fig.
30).
To make air pressure tests, proceed as follows:
