ROAD TEST [FN4A-EL]

Warning

• When performing a road test, be aware of other vehicles, people, impediments, etc. 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 levels. (See ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL INSPECTION [ZJ, ZY].)

2. Inspect the engine oil levels. (See ENGINE OIL LEVEL INSPECTION [ZJ, ZY].)

3. Inspect the ATF levels. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID (ATF) INSPECTION [FN4A-EL].)

4. Inspect the idle speed and ignition timing in P position. (See IDLE SPEED INSPECTION [ZJ, ZY (WITH WU-TWC)].) (See IDLE SPEED INSPECTION [ZJ, ZY (WITHOUT WU-TWC)].) (See IGNITION TIMING INSPECTION [ZJ, ZY].)

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

5. Decelerate the vehicle and verify that engine braking effect is felt in 2GR, 3GR, and 4GR.

• If there is any malfunction, inspect the PCM and ATX. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [FN4A-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 PCM and ATX. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [FN4A-EL].)

8. Accelerate the vehicle at half throttle and WOT, and verify that 4→3, 3→2, and 2→3 shift can be obtained. The shift points must be as shown in the table below.

• If there is any malfunction, inspect the PCM and ATX. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [FN4A-EL].)

9. Drive the vehicle in 4GR, 3GR, 2GR and verify that kickdown does not occur.

• If there is any malfunction, inspect the PCM and ATX. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [FN4A-EL].)

10. Decelerate the vehicle and verify that engine braking effect is felt in 2GR, 3GR, and 4GR.

• If there is any malfunction, inspect the PCM and ATX. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [FN4A-EL].)
