Ford Taurus AX4S Transmission EPC & Line Pressure Test Port Locations Diagram

Service illustration of a transmission showing pressure tap locations for line, direct clutch and EPC pressure checks.

AI caption · Photo 68 of 117

This document is a labeled line-art illustration of an automatic transmission case, showing the locations of external pressure test taps and fittings. Four callouts identify: the line pressure tap (where a pressure gauge is to be connected), the direct clutch tap, the cooler line fitting, and the EPC (Electronic Pressure Control) pressure tap on the outside of the transmission. The figure carries the reference number D8828-C in the lower right corner. The illustration is drawn from a perspective view of the transmission housing, with leader lines pointing from each label to the corresponding port or fitting on the case. No year, model, engine, part numbers, pressure specifications, or written procedure steps appear in the image itself—only the diagram and its callout labels. A reader can use this figure to locate the correct test ports for connecting a pressure gauge when performing line pressure, direct clutch pressure, or EPC pressure diagnostic tests, and to identify the cooler line fitting on the transmission. It was uploaded to a 1993 Ford Taurus gallery under the filename 'GEN 2 EPC test port.gif', suggesting it supports EPC pressure testing on the Taurus AX4S/AXOD-E transaxle, though the document does not state applicability.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I connect a pressure gauge to check line pressure on this transmission?
The diagram labels a 'Line Pressure Tap – Connect Pressure Gauge' on the upper edge of the transmission case, near the cooler line fitting.
Where is the EPC pressure tap located?
The EPC pressure tap is on the outside of the transmission, at the lower front area of the case as shown by the callout 'EPC Pressure Tap Outside of Transmission'.
What other test tap is shown besides line pressure and EPC?
A 'Direct Clutch Tap' is identified on the top of the transmission case near the connector.
Where is the cooler line fitting on this transmission?
The cooler line fitting is shown on the side of the case, below and to the left of the line pressure tap.
