Quick Test Procedures

NOTE: After performing the Quick Test, use the following Transmission Drive Cycle Test for checking E40D continuous codes.

1. Record and then erase Quick Test codes.

2. Warm engine to normal operating temperature.

3. Make sure transmission fluid level is correct.

4. With transmission in OVERDRIVE, moderately accelerate from stop to 50 mph (80km/h). This allows the transmission to shift into 4th gear. Hold speed and throttle open steady for a minimum of 15 seconds.

5. With transmission in OVERDRIVE, press transmission control switch (TCIL should illuminate) and moderately accelerate from stop to 40mph (64km/h). This allows transmission to shift into 3rd gear. Hold speed and throttle opening steady for a minimum of 15 seconds (30 seconds above 4000 ft.).

6. Press TCS (TCIL should turn off) and accelerate from 40mph (64km/h) to 50mph (80km/h). This allows transmission to shift into 4th gear. Hold speed and throttle position steady for a minimum of 15 seconds.

7. With transmission in 4th gear and maintaining steady speed and throttle opening, lightly apply and release brake pedal (to operate stoplamps). Then hold speed and throttle steady for an additional 5 seconds (minimum).

8. Brake to a stop and remain stopped for a minimum of 20 seconds.

9. Repeat Steps 4 through 8 at least five times.

10. Perform Quick Test and record continuous codes.
