Road Test

Road Test
This test is performed to diagnose trouble conditions accurately and to check the condition after servicing. Also check for shift shock or abnormal noise.

WARNING:
^ Perform road test in a place where there is no traffic to prevent an accident.
^ Road test should be performed by two persons, a driver and a tester, on a level road.


1) Connect scan tool to DLC.
2) Select "Data list" mode on scan tool.
3) Drive vehicle so that CVT fluid temperature reaches normal operating temperature (50 - 80° C (122 - 176 ° F)).

NOTE:
Engine coolant temperature rises when revving engine in "P" or "N" position, but CVT fluid temperature does not rise in "P" or "N" position. Be sure to drive vehicle in order to raise CVT fluid temperature.

4) While driving in "D" range, check if gear shift and lock-up occur properly as shown in CVT Gear Shift Table.

CVT Gear Shift Table
CVT gear shift schedule is shown in the following table. Test-drive the vehicle on a flat road in the "D" position.
