Setup for Testing Transmission Pressure:
Always refer to the manufacturers’ vehicle service or repair manuals for
specific information regarding pressure testing values, procedures, and test
port locations. Follow all manufacturers’ cautions, warnings, and instructions.
1. Testing while driving
Make sure the hose is routed through the vehicle window and not squeezed
or pinched in the vehicle hood or door. Take extra care to make sure that the
hose is secured away from hot or moving engine parts, and that the hose and
gauge do not hinder proper vehicle operation. Never try to read the gauge
while driving. Always have an assistant accompany you to take pressure
readings.
2. Testing on a dynamometer test stand or hoist
Take extra care to make sure that the hose is secured away from hot or
moving engine parts. Refer to and carefully follow all manufacturers’ instruc-
tions for testing on a dynamometer stand or with wheels suspended.
3. Static testing
When static testing, always make sure the vehicle is in Park (automatic
transmission) or Neutral (manual transmission) and that the parking brake is
firmly set. Block the drive wheels.
