ROAD TEST [FN4A-EL]

id0517a1802200

  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.
