Honda HR-V: CVT Pressure Test (CVT)

Special Tools Required

Pressure Gauge Adapter 070AJ-RT4A101

A/T Oil Pressure Gauge Set 07406-0020400 or 07406-0020401

A/T Pressure Test Hose 07AAJ-PY4A100

A/T Pressure Adapter 07MAJ-PY40120

A/T High Pressure Gauge 07AAJ-PLYA100

Test

NOTE:

• Check for DTCs. If any DTCs are stored, troubleshoot and clear them first.
• Do not allow dust or other foreign particles to enter the port while installing the A/T oil pressure gauge.
• Do not allow dust or other foreign particles to enter the inspection port.
• Do not test pressure for more than 10 seconds at a time.
• Do not change the transmission position/mode while raising the engine speed.
• Be sure to check the transmission fluid level after each pressure test. When installing or removing the A/T oil pressure gauge, transmission fluid may run out of the inspection ports.
• VSA DTC(s) may come on during the test-drive. If the VSA DTC(s) come on, clear the DTC(s) after testing is done with the HDS.

Pressure Inspection Port

1. Vehicle - Lift

2. Engine Undercover - Remove (With 2WD)

3. Left Front Splash Shield - Remove

4. Engine - Warm Up

1. Start the engine, and warm it up to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on twice)
2. Turn the engine off.

5. Transmission Fluid Level - Check

6. Forward Clutch Pressure - Test

Fig. 21: Forward Clutch Pressure Test Port With Torque Specifications

1. Remove the sealing bolt (A) with the sealing washer (B).
2. Install the A/T oil pressure gauge set to the forward clutch pressure inspection port.

3. Start the engine, and warm it up to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on twice)
4. Shift the transmission to D position/mode
5. Measure the forward clutch pressure at the engine idling while firmly pressing the brake pedal.

6. Turn the engine off
7. If the forward clutch pressure is out of the standard, refer to the problem and probable cause(s) listed in the table.

8. Remove the A/T oil pressure gauge
9. Install the sealing bolt with a new sealing washer to the forward clutch pressure inspection port.

7. Reverse Brake Pressure - Test

Fig. 22: Reverse Brake Pressure Test Port With Torque Specifications

1. Remove the sealing bolt (A).
2. Install pressure gauge adapter C to the reverse brake pressure inspection port.

3. Install the A/T oil pressure gauge set to pressure gauge adapter C
4. Start the engine, and warm it up to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on twice)
5. Shift the transmission to R position/mode
6. Measure the reverse brake pressure at engine idling while firmly pressing the brake pedal.

7. Turn the engine off
8. If the reverse brake pressure is out of the standard, refer to the problem and probable cause(s) listed in the table.

9. Remove the A/T oil pressure gauge
10. Install a new sealing bolt to the reverse brake pressure inspection port.

8. Drive Pulley Pressure - Test

Fig. 23: Drive Pulley Pressure Test Port With Torque Specifications

1. Remove the sealing bolt (A) with the sealing washer (B).
2. Install the A/T oil pressure gauge set to the drive pulley pressure inspection port.

3. Start the engine, and warm it up to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on twice)
4. Shift the transmission to N position/mode
5. Measure the drive pulley pressure at engine idling while firmly pressing the brake pedal.

6. Turn the engine off
7. If the drive pulley pressure is out of the standard, refer to the problem and probable cause(s) listed in the table.

8. Remove the A/T oil pressure gauge
9. Install the sealing bolt with a new sealing washer to the drive pulley pressure inspection port.

9. Driven Pulley Pressure - Test

NOTE:

• Driven pulley pressure may be above 5, 000 kPa (51.0 kgf/cm2, 725.2 psi) when there is a transmission problem that causes the PCM to go into fail-safe mode.
• When troubleshooting, you must use the A/T high pressure gauge to measure driven pulley pressure.

1. Remove the sealing bolt (A) with the sealing washer (B).
2. Install the A/T high pressure gauge and the A/T pressure adapter to the driven pulley pressure inspection port.

3. Start the engine, and warm it up to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on twice)
4. Shift the transmission to N position/mode
5. Measure the driven pulley pressure at engine idling while firmly pressing the brake pedal.

6. Turn the engine off
7. If the driven pulley pressure is out of the standard, refer to the problem and probable cause(s) listed in the table.

8. Remove the A/T oil pressure gauge
9. Install the sealing bolt with a new sealing washer to the driven pulley pressure inspection port.

10. Transmission Fluid Level - Check

11. All Removed Parts - Install

1. Install the parts in the reverse order of removal.
