Stall Speed Test

Stall Speed Test

WARNING: Apply the service and parking brakes firmly while carrying out each stall test.

CAUTION: Carry out the Line Pressure Test prior to carrying out the Stall Speed Test. If line pressure is low at stall, do not carry out the stall test or additional transmission damage will occur. Do not maintain wide open throttle (WOT) in any gear range for more than 5 seconds. Line Pressure Test

CAUTION: After testing each of the ranges, move the range selector into the NEUTRAL position and run the engine at 1,000 rpm for about 15 seconds to allow the torque converter to cool off before continuing onto the next range.

CAUTION: If the engine speed recorded by the tachometer exceeds maximum specified rpm, release the throttle immediately. Clutch or band slippage is indicated.

NOTE: The stall test should only be carried out with the engine and transmission at normal operating temperatures.

NOTE: Prolonged use of this procedure may set DTCs P0712 or P1783. After carrying out the stall speed test, run on-board diagnostics and clear the DTCs.

The stall test checks the operation of these items:
^ Torque converter clutch (TCC)
^ Forward clutch
^ Low one-way clutch (OWC)
^ Overdrive OWC
^ Engine driveability concerns

1. Connect a tachometer to the engine.
2. Press the accelerator pedal to floor (WOT) in each range. Record the rpm reached in each range. Stall speeds should be in the appropriate range.
