Ford AX4N Transaxle EPC & Line Pressure Test Port Locations Diagram

Service illustration of the AX4N transaxle showing the location of the EPC and LINE hydraulic pressure tap ports.

AI caption · Photo 119 of 579

This document is a line-art illustration from a Ford service manual showing the location of the EPC (Electronic Pressure Control) and LINE pressure test ports on an AX4N automatic transaxle. The transaxle case is drawn in a three-quarter view, with the words "AX4N METRIC" cast into the side cover clearly visible. Two labeled callout arrows at the top of the illustration point to the EPC port (leftmost, on the upper edge of the case near the side cover) and the LINE pressure port (just to its right, among the solenoids/valve body area on top of the transaxle). The figure carries the Ford illustration reference number D13095-B in the lower right corner. A technician would use this diagram to identify where to connect a pressure gauge when performing line pressure or EPC pressure diagnostic tests on an AX4N transaxle, such as those used in mid-1990s Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable vehicles. The document itself contains no year, model, torque, or pressure specification text — only the two port labels, the transaxle identification casting, and the figure number.
