id051723802200

Warning
• When performing a road test, be aware of other vehicles, people, and other impediments in order to avoid an accident.
Note
• When the legal speed limit must be exceeded, use a chassis dynamometer instead of performing a road test.

Road Test Preparation

1.Inspect the engine coolant level. (See COOLING SYSTEM SERVICE WARNINGS [L3 Turbo].) (See ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL INSPECTION [L3 Turbo].)

2.Inspect the engine oil level. (See ENGINE OIL LEVEL INSPECTION [L3 Turbo].)

3.Inspect the ATF level. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID (ATF) INSPECTION [AW6A-EL, AW6AX-EL].)

4.Inspect the idle speed. (See ENGINE TUNE-UP [L3 Turbo].)

5.Inspect the ignition timing. (See ENGINE TUNE-UP [L3 Turbo].)

6.Bring up the engine and transaxle to normal operating temperature.

7.Verify that no DTCs recorded. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DTC INSPECTION [AW6A-EL, AW6AX-EL].)

D Range Test

1.Perform road test preparation. (SeeRoad Test Preparation.)

2.Shift the selector lever to D range.

3.Accelerate with the depressing amount of accelerator pedal half and then fully depress.

4.Verify that 1→2, 2→3, 3→4, 4→5, and 5→6 upshifts are obtained. The shift points must be as shown in the table below.

• If there is any malfunction, inspect the TCM and ATX. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [AW6A-EL, AW6AX-EL].)

5.Verify that 6→5, 5→4, 4→3, 3→2, and 2→1 downshifts are obtained. The shift points must be as shown in the table below.

• If there is any malfunction, inspect the TCM and ATX. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [AW6A-EL, AW6AX-EL].)

6.Drive the vehicle in 6GR, 5GR, 4GR, 3GR, and 2GR and verify that kickdown occurs for 6→5, 5→4, 4→3, 3→2, 2→1 downshifts, and that the shift points are as shown in the table below.

• If there is any malfunction, inspect the TCM and ATX. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [AW6A-EL, AW6AX-EL].)

7.Drive the vehicle and verify that TCC operation is obtained. The operation points must be as shown in the table below.

• If there is any malfunction, inspect the TCM and ATX. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [AW6A-EL, AW6AX-EL].)

M Range Test

1.Perform road test preparation. (SeeRoad Test Preparation.)

2.Shift the selector lever to M range.

3.Verify that 1→2, 2→3, 3→4, 4→5 and 5→6 upshifts and 6→5, 5→4, 4→3, 3→2, and 2→1 downshifts are obtained by manual shifting of the selector lever forward and back.

• If there is any malfunction, inspect the TCM and ATX. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [AW6A-EL, AW6AX-EL].)

4.Decelerate the vehicle and verify that 6→5, 5→4, 4→3, 3→1 downshifts are obtained. The shift points must be as shown in the table below.

• If there is any malfunction, inspect the TCM and ATX. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [AW6A-EL, AW6AX-EL].)

5.Decelerate the vehicle and verify that engine braking effect is felt in 1GR.

• If there is any malfunction, inspect the TCM and ATX. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [AW6A-EL, AW6AX-EL].)

6.Drive the vehicle and verify that TCC operation is obtained in 4GR, 5GR and 6GR. The operation points must be as shown in the table below.

• If there is any malfunction, inspect the TCM and ATX. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [AW6A-EL, AW6AX-EL].)

7.Drive the vehicle in 6GR, 5GR, 4GR and 3GR and verify that kickdown occurs for 6→5, 5→4, 4→3, 3→2 downshifts, and that the shift points are as shown in the table below.

• If there is any malfunction, inspect the TCM and ATX. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [AW6A-EL, AW6AX-EL].)

P Position Test

1.Shift into P position on a gentle slope.

2.Release the brake and verify that the vehicle does not roll.

• If there is any malfunction, inspect the ATX. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [AW6A-EL, AW6AX-EL].)
