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 [LF, L3].)
2. Inspect the engine oil levels. (See ENGINE OIL LEVEL INSPECTION [LF, L3].)
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 [LF, L3].) (See IGNITION TIMING INSPECTION [LF, L3].)
5. Bring up the engine and transaxle to normal operating temperature.

D Range Test
1. Perform road test preparation. (See Road Test Preparation.)
2. Shift the selector lever to D range.
3. Accelerate the vehicle with half and WOT, then verify that 1→2, 2→3, and 3→4 upshifts can be obtained. The shift points must be as shown in the table below.
-
• If not as specified, inspect the PCM or TCM and ATX. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE (EXCEPT FOR GENERAL (L.H.D.) SPECS. SPORT AT) [FN4A-EL].) (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE (GENERAL (L.H.D.) SPECS. SPORT AT) [FN4A-EL].)
4. Drive the vehicle in 4GR, 3GR, and 2GR and verify that kickdown occurs for 4→3, 3→2, 2→1 downshifts, and that the shift points are as shown in the table below.
-
• If not as specified, inspect the PCM or TCM and ATX. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE (EXCEPT FOR GENERAL (L.H.D.) SPECS. SPORT AT) [FN4A-EL].) (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE (GENERAL (L.H.D.) SPECS. SPORT AT) [FN4A-EL].)
5. Decelerate the vehicle and verify that engine braking effect is felt in 2GR, 3GR, and 4GR.
-
• If not as specified, inspect the PCM or TCM and ATX. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE (EXCEPT FOR GENERAL (L.H.D.) SPECS. SPORT AT) [FN4A-EL].) (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE (GENERAL (L.H.D.) SPECS. SPORT AT) [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 not as specified, inspect the PCM or TCM and ATX. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE (EXCEPT FOR GENERAL (L.H.D.) SPECS. SPORT AT) [FN4A-EL].) (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE (GENERAL (L.H.D.) SPECS. SPORT AT) [FN4A-EL].)
7. Select HOLD mode. (4AT)
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 not as specified, inspect the PCM or TCM and ATX. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE (EXCEPT FOR GENERAL (L.H.D.) SPECS. SPORT AT) [FN4A-EL].) (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE (GENERAL (L.H.D.) SPECS. SPORT AT) [FN4A-EL].)
9. Drive the vehicle in 4GR, 3GR, 2GR and verify that kickdown does not occur.
-
• If not as specified, inspect the PCM or TCM and ATX. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE (EXCEPT FOR GENERAL (L.H.D.) SPECS. SPORT AT) [FN4A-EL].) (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE (GENERAL (L.H.D.) SPECS. SPORT AT) [FN4A-EL].)
10. Decelerate the vehicle and verify that engine braking effect is felt in 2GR, 3GR, and 4GR.
-
• If not as specified, inspect the PCM or TCM and ATX. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE (EXCEPT FOR GENERAL (L.H.D.) SPECS. SPORT AT) [FN4A-EL].) (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE (GENERAL (L.H.D.) SPECS. SPORT AT) [FN4A-EL].)
