Line Pressure Test

GFD19963Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY
NOTE: Perform the line pressure test prior to performing the stall speed test. If the line pressure is low at stall, do not perform the stall speed test or transmission damage will occur. Do not maintain WOT in any transmission range for more than 5 seconds.

This test verifies the line pressure is within specification.

  1. 1.

    Connect the transmission fluid pressure gauge (307-004) to the line pressure tap.

  1. 2.

    Start the engine and check the line pressure. Refer to the Pressure Chart to determine if the line pressure is within specification.

Pressure Chart 

Gear Line Pressure at Idle Line Pressure at WOT Stall
Minimum Maximum Minimum Maximum
P 92 psi (634 kPa) 125 psi (862 kPa) - -
R 121 psi (834 kPa) 150 psi (1, 034 kPa) 271 psi (1, 868 kPa) 342 psi (2, 358 kPa)
N 92 psi (634 kPa) 125.0 psi (862 kPa) - -
D, L 75 psi (517 kPa) 95 psi (655 kPa) 271 psi (1, 868 kPa) 334 psi (2, 302 kPa)

  1. 3.

    If the line pressure is not within specification, see the Line Pressure Diagnosis Chart for possible source.

  1. 4.

    When the pressure tests are complete install the line pressure tap plug.
    • Tighten to 12 Nm (106 lb-in).
