(1) Power shift pressure solenoid

(2) Tap for the power shift pressure

  1. Stop the engine. Disconnect connector “39” of the proportional reducing valve and connect the test harness to connector “39”.
  1. Install the test leads of the multimeter.
  1. Install a 4900 kPa (710 psi) pressure gauge to the tap (2) .
  1. Place the backup switch to the “AUT” position.
  1. Set the engine speed dial to the position of 10.
  1. Allow the hydraulic oil to warm to a temperature of 50 °C (122 °F).
  1. Ensure that all control levers are in the neutral position.
  1. Enter the service mode. Select the sweep test for the power shift pressure. Perform the device test for “PS PRV-SWEEP”.
  1. The display on the multimeter should show a wave from 0.2 amperes to 0.75 amperes within a period of 20 seconds. The pressure gauge should show a cycle of pressure from 482 kPa (70 psi) to 3447 kPa (500 psi) during the identical time of the wave of the ampere.
  1. Verify that the current and the pressure are showing the correct parameters.
