Mechanical System Test Preparation

1.  Apply the parking brake securely and block the front and rear wheels using wheel blocks.

2.  Inspect the engine coolant amount. (See ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL INSPECTION [SKYACTIV-D 2.2].)

3.  Inspect the engine oil amount. (See ENGINE OIL LEVEL INSPECTION [SKYACTIV-D 2.2].)

4.  Inspect the ATF amount. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID (ATF) INSPECTION [GW6A-EL, GW6AX-EL].)

5.  Inspect idle speed. (See ENGINE TUNE-UP [SKYACTIV-D 2.2].)

6.  Verify that no DTCs are stored.


Line Pressure Test

1.  Perform the mechanical system test preparation. (See Mechanical System Test Preparation.)

2.  Disconnect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.)

3.  Remove the following parts as a single unit. (See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-D 2.2].)

•  Air cleaner cover
•  Air cleaner element
•  Fresh-air duct
•  Air cleaner case
•  Air hose
•  Resonance chamber

5.  Remove the square head plug of the line pressure detection port.

Warning
•  Do not remove the square head plug when the ATF temperature is high. Otherwise, the ATF could overflow and cause severe burns or serious injury. Remove the square head plug when the transaxle and ATF are at a low temperature.
Note
•  Use a suitable oil pressure gauge that corresponds to the line pressure because the maximum scale value differs depending on the oil pressure gauge.

Stall test

1.  Perform the mechanical system test preparation. (See Mechanical System Test Preparation.)

2.  Apply the parking brake and set the wheel blocks on both the front and rear wheels.

3.  Start the engine.

4.  Measure the stall speed in the D position.

(1)  Forcefully depress the brake pedal with the left foot.
(2)  Shift the selector lever to the D position.
Caution
•  Stall speed: Maximum stall speed during stall test
•  If a stall condition is determined in the D or M position, the control for limiting the engine speed is operated to protect the transaxle. Engine speed increases momentarily and decreases gradually during the stall test, however, this does not indicate a malfunction.
•  Perform the stall speed measurement (procedure (3) to (4)) within 5 s. Otherwise, the transaxle could be damaged.
(3)  Depress the accelerator pedal fully with the right foot.
(4)  Quickly read the engine speed (stall speed) when the speed stabilizes and release the right foot from the accelerator pedal.
(5)  Shift the selector lever to the N position and idle the engine for 1 min or more.

5.  Measure the stall speed in the M (1st gear) and R positions using the same procedure.

•  If there is a malfunction, the following could be considered possible causes.
