ROAD TEST (A140E)
NOTICE: Perform the test at normal operating fluid
temperature (122 ± 176°F or 50 ± 84°C). .
1. D RANGE TEST IN NORM AND PWR PATTERN
RANGES
Shift into the D range and hold the accelerator pedal
constant at the full throttle valve opening position.
Check the following:
(a) 1±2, 2±3 and 3±O/D up±shifts should take place, and
shift points should conform to those shown in the au-
tomatic shift schedule. (See page AT±49)
Conduct a test under both Normal and Power patterns.
HINT:
There is no O/D up±shift when coolant temperature is
below 122
°F (50°C).
There is no lock±up when the vehicle speed is 10 km/h (6
mph) less than the set cruise control speed.
EVALUATION
(1) If there is no 1 ± 2 up±shift:
wNo. 2 solenoid is stuck
w1±2 shift valve is stuck
(2) If there is no 2 ± 3 up±shift:
w No. 1 solenoid is stuck
w2±3 shift valve is stuck
(3) If there is no 3 ± O/D up±shift:
w3±O/D shift valve is stuck
(4) If the shift point is defective:
wThrottle valve, 1±2 shift valve, 2±3 .shift valve, 3±
wO/D shift valve etc., are defective
(5) If the lock±up is defective:
wLock±up solenoid is stuck
wLock±up relay valve is stuck
(b) In the same manner, check the shock and slip at the 1
±2, 2 ± 3 and 3 ± O/D up±shifts.
EVALUATION
If the shock is excessive:
wLine pressure is too high
wAccumulator is defective
wCheck ball is defective
(c) Run at the D range lock±up or O/D gear and check for
abnormal noise and vibration.
HINT: The check for the cause of abnormal noise and
vibration must be make with extreme care as it could
also be due to loss of balance in the drive shaft, tire,
torque converter, etc.

ROAD TEST (A540E and A540H)
NOTICE: Perform the test at normal operating fluid temperature
(122 ± 176°F or 50 ± 80°C).
1. D RANGE TEST IN NORM AND PWR PATTERN
RANGES
Shift into the D range and hold the accelerator pedal
constant at the full throttle valve opening position.
Check the following:
(a) 1±2, 2±3 and 3±O/D up±shifts should take place, and shift
points should conform to those shown in the automatic
shift schedule. (See page AT±230)
Conduct a test under both Normal and Power. patterns.
HINT:
wThere is no O/D up±shift and lock±up when the coolant
temp. is below 140
°F (60°C) (A540E) or 122°I= (50°C)
(A540H).
wWhen the coolant temp. is below 140°F (600C) or
122°F (50°C) (A540H), the shift point is lower than specified in
the automatic shift schedule.
EVALUATION
(1) If there is no 1 ± 2 up±shift:
wNo. 2 solenoid is stuck
w1±2 shift valve is stuck
(2) If there is no 2 ± 3 up±shift:
wNo. 1 solenoid is stuck
w2±3 shift valve is stuck
(3) If there is no 3 ± O/D up±shift:
w3±4 shift valve is stuck
(4) If the shift point is defective:
wThrottle valve, 1±2 shift valve, 2±3 shift valve, 3±4
shift valve etc., are defective
(5) If the lock±up is defective:
wLock±up solenoid is stuck .
wLock±up relay valve is stuck
(b) In the same manner, check the shock and slip at the 1
±2, 2 ± 3 and 3 ± O/D up±shifts.
EVALUATION
If the shock is excessive:
wLine pressure is too high
wAccumulator is defective
wCheck ball is defective
(c) Run at the D range lock±up or 0/C) gear and check for abnor-
mal noise and vibration.

tion must be make with extreme care as it could also be due
