Ford AX4N Transaxle Pressure Test Port Locations - EPC & Line Pressure Diagram

Service illustration of the AX4N metric transaxle identifying the EPC and LINE pressure tap locations.

AI caption · Photo 506 of 579

This document is a single line-art illustration page identifying the hydraulic pressure test port locations on a Ford AX4N automatic transaxle. The drawing shows the transaxle from the side, with the words "AX4N METRIC" embossed on the main case cover, confirming the unit depicted. Two labeled callout arrows identify the ports: "EPC" (Electronic Pressure Control) points to a test port on the upper-left top area of the case, and "LINE" points to the line pressure test port located just to the right of the EPC port, near the solenoid/valve body area on top of the transaxle. No part numbers, torque values, pressure specifications, or model-year applicability information appear on the page. A reader can use this diagram to physically locate where to attach pressure gauges when diagnosing AX4N transaxle hydraulic problems, such as verifying EPC and line pressure during troubleshooting. The scan was uploaded to a 1997 Ford Taurus gallery, a vehicle that commonly uses the AX4N transaxle, and nothing in the drawing contradicts that application.
