id051311248900

Warning
• When performing a road test, be aware of other vehicles, people, impediments 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 ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL INSPECTION [L8, LF].)

2. Inspect the engine oil level. (See ENGINE OIL LEVEL INSPECTION [L8, LF].)

3. Inspect the ATF level. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID (ATF) LEVEL ADJUSTMENT [SJ6A-EL].)

4. Inspect the idle speed. (See Idle Speed Inspection.)

5. Inspect the ignition timing. (See Ignition Timing Inspection.)

6. Wait until the engine and transmission reach normal operating temperature.

D range (normal mode)

D Range Test

1. Perform road test preparation. (See Road Test Preparation.)

2. Shift the selector lever to the D range.

3. Accelerate with the throttle half and then wide open.

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

• If there is any malfunction, inspect the TCM and AT. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [SJ6A-EL].)

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

• If there is any malfunction, inspect the TCM and AT. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [SJ6A-EL].)

6. Decelerate the vehicle and verify that engine braking effect is felt in 4GR, 5GR, and 6GR.

• If there is any malfunction, inspect the TCM and AT. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [SJ6A-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 AT. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [SJ6A-EL].)
