Stall Speed Test

Stall Speed Test
1. Make sure the transmission fluid is filled to the proper level.
2. Apply the parking brake, and block all four wheels.
3. Connect the HDS to the DLC (A), and go to the A/T data list. If the HDS does not communicate with the PCM, troubleshoot the DLC circuit.





4. Make sure the A/C switch OFF.
5. Start the engine, and warm it up to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on). After the engine is warmed up, shift to D.
6. Firmly press and hold the brake pedal with your left foot, and then firmly press the accelerator pedal with your right foot for 6 to 8 seconds, and note engine speed. Do not move the shift lever while raising engine speed or remove your foot from the brake pedal.
7. Allow 2 minutes for cooling, then repeat the test in 2, 1, and R.

NOTE:
^ Do not test the stall speed for more than 10 seconds at a time.
^ Stall speed tests should be used for diagnostic purposes only.
^ The stall speed should be the same in D, 2, 1, and R.
^ Do not test stall speed with the A/T pressure gauges installed.

Stall Speed rpm:
Specification: 2,445 rpm
Service Limit: 2,295-2,595 rpm

8. If the stall speed is out of the service limit, refer to the possible problems and probable causes listed in the table.
