1. Raise the vehicle. Support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle.
2. Remove the left splash shield from vehicle. Refer to Engine Splash Shield Replacement - Left Side.



3. Remove the pressure tap bolt (2) from the rear of the transaxle.



4. Install into the line pressure tap at the rear of the transaxle.
5. Install J 21867 into J 35752 .
6. Lower the vehicle.
7. Route hose over the front fender and through the driver's window so that it can be read from the passenger compartment.
8. Connect the scan tool to the Data Link Connector (DLC) and display the engine RPM.
9. Apply the parking brake and block the vehicle wheels.
10. Press the brake pedal fully and start the engine.
11. Display engine speed (RPM) on the scan tool.
12. Place the manual selector in the drive (D) range and record the line pressure at idle speed (600-700 RPM).
13. Press the accelerator pedal fully/wide open throttle and record the line pressure in the drive (D) range at stall speed (2,400-2,700 RPM). Release the accelerator pedal.
14. Keeping the brake pedal fully pressed, place the selector lever in the reverse (R) range and record the line pressure at idle speed (600-700 RPM).
15. Press the accelerator pedal fully/wide open throttle and record the line pressure in the reverse (R) range at stall speed (2,400-2,700 RPM). Release the accelerator pedal.
16. Keep the brake pedal pressed.
17. Place the manual selector in Low range. Record the line pressure at idle speed (600-700 RPM).
18. Press the accelerator pedal fully/wide open throttle and record line pressure in Low range at stall speed (2,400-2,700 RPM). Release the accelerator pedal.
19. Keeping the brake pedal fully pressed, place the manual selector in Reverse range and record line pressure at idle speed (600-700 RPM).
20. Press the accelerator pedal fully/wide open throttle and record line pressure in Reverse range at stall speed (2,400-2,700 RPM). Release the accelerator pedal.
21. Place the manual selector in Park range and turn the ignition switch to LOCK.
