id0517j6802200

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 [MZI-3.7].) (See ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL INSPECTION [MZI-3.7].)

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

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

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

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

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

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 and 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 [AW6AX-EL].)

5.  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 [AW6AX-EL].)

6.  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 [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 [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 [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 [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 [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 [AW6AX-EL].)
