ROAD TEST [AW6A-EL, AW6AX-EL]

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.  Engage the parking brake and use wheel chocks at the front and rear of the wheels.

2.  Inspect the engine coolant level. (See COOLING SYSTEM SERVICE WARNINGS [MZI-3.7].) (See ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL INSPECTION [MZI-3.7].)

3.  Inspect the engine oil level. (See ENGINE OIL LEVEL INSPECTION [MZI-3.7].)

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

5.  Inspect the idle speed. (See ENGINE TUNE-UP [MZI-3.7].)

6.  Inspect the ignition timing. (See ENGINE TUNE-UP [MZI-3.7].)

7.  Verify that no DTCs recorded. (See DTC TABLE [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 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.  Verify that 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].)

5.  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].)

6.  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].)

7.  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].)

8.  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].)
