7. Check the working fluid pressure in the circuit of the first and second gear clutches.
a) Remove the air filter housing (see chapter "Maintenance and general check and adjustment procedures").
b) Unscrew the plugs and connect the pressure gauges in their place.
Connection nipple for pressure gauge for checking pressure in the first gear clutch circuit.
Connection nipple for pressure gauge for checking pressure in the second gear clutch circuit.
c) Temporarily install the air filter housing.
d) Start the engine.
d) Move the selector lever to position "1" (models without manual shift mode) or "S" (first gear engaged) (models with manual shift mode) and set the engine speed to 2000 rpm.
e) Measure and record the pressure in the first gear clutch circuit.
g) Move the selector lever to position "2" (models without manual shift mode) or "S" (second gear engaged) (models with manual shift mode), and set the engine speed to 2000 rpm.
c) Measure and record the pressure in the second gear clutch circuit.
i) Stop the engine and remove the air filter housing.
j) Disconnect the pressure gauges. Install a new seal on the plug and tighten it.
- Tightening torque - 18 Nm
l) Install the air filter housing (see chapter "Maintenance and general check and adjustment procedures").
8. Check the working fluid pressure in the circuit of the third, fourth and fifth gear clutches.
a) Unscrew the plugs and connect the pressure gauges in their place.

e) Measure and record the pressure in the fourth and fifth gear clutch circuit.
g) Set the idle speed and press the brake pedal to brake the wheels.
c) Move the selector to the "R" position and set the engine speed to 2000 rpm.
i) Measure and record the pressure in the fifth gear clutch circuit.
k) Turn off the engine,
l) Disconnect the pressure gauges. Install a new seal on the plug and tighten it.
- Tightening torque - 18 Nm
9. Compare the measured values with those given in the table "Working fluid pressure and possible malfunctions". If the pressure does not correspond to the given one, then use the table to determine the location of the malfunction.
10. Install the fender liners.
