1986 TOYOTA CAMRY V20 engine

TIME LAG TEST
If the shift lever is shifted while the engine is idling, there will be a certain time elapse or lag before
the shock can be felt. This is used for checking the condition of the O/D direct clutch, forward
clutch, direct clutch and first and reverse brake.
NOTICE: .
wPerform the test at normal operating fluid temperature (122 ± 176°F or 50 ± 80°C).
wBe sure to allow one minute interval between tests.
wMake three measurements and take the average value.
MEASURE TIME LAG
(a) Fully apply the parking brake.
(b) Start the engine and check the idle speed.
Idle speed (N range): 700 rpm (A540E and A540H)
(c) Shift the shift lever from N to D position. Using a stopwatch, measure the time it takes from shifting
the lever until the shock is felt.
Time lag: Less than 1.2 seconds.
(d) In the same manner, measure the time lag for N ± R.
Time lag: Less than 1.5 seconds.
EVALUATION
(a) If N ± D time lag is longer than specified:
wLine pressure too low
wForward clutch worn
wO/D one±way clutch not operating properly
(b) If N ± R time lag is longer than specified:
wLine pressure too low
wDirect clutch worn
wFirst and reverse brake worn
wO/D one±way clutch not operating properly

HYDRAULIC TEST
PREPARATION
(a) Warm up the transaxle fluid.
(b) Remove the transaxle case test plug and connect the hydraulic pressure gauge.
SST 09992±00094 (Oil pressure gauge)
NOTICE:
wPerform the test at normal operating fluid temperature (122 ± 176°F or 50 ± 80°C)
wThe line pressure test should always be carried out in pairs. One should observe the conditions of
wheels or wheel stoppers outside the vehicle while the other is performing the test.
MEASURE LINE PRESSURE
(a) Fully apply the parking brake and chock the four wheels.
(b) Start the engine and check idling rpm.
(c) Step down strongly on the brake pedal with your left foot and shift into D range.
(d) Measure the line pressure when the engine is idling.
(e) Press the accelerator pedal all the way down. Quickly read the highest line pressure when engine
speed reaches stall speed.
(f) In the same manner, perform the test in R range.

MEASURE CENTER DIFFERENTIAL CONTROL PRESSURE (A540H Only)
(a) Warm up the transaxle fluid (122 ± 176°F or 50 ± 80°C)
(b) Measure the line pressure. (See page AT±224)
(e) Remove the transfer case test plug and mount the oil pressure gauge (SST).
SST 09992±00094
(d) Check the parking brake to see that it is fully applied chock the four wheels.
(e) Disconnect the connector from ECT ECU.
(f) Start the engine.
(g) Apply battery voltage to terminal SD1, or SD2 of the wire harness side connector and turn the No. .1
and No. 2 center differential control solenoid valves to either ON or OFF.
(h) Shift into the L range, step down strongly on the brake pedal with your left foot and while manipulating the
accelerator pedal with the right foot, measure the pressure at the engine speeds specified in the table.

HINT: After inspecting the center differential control pressure, erase the diagnosis codes (No. 73 and 74)
from the memory.

2. 2 RANGE TEST
Shift into the 2 range and, while driving with the accel-
erator pedal held constantly at the full throttle valve
opening position, push in one of the pattern selectors
and check or the following points.
(a) Check to see that the 1 ± 2 up±shift takes place and
that the shift point conforms to it shown on the auto-
matic shift schedule. (See page AT±230)
(b) While running in the 2 range and 2nd gear, release
the accelerator pedal and check the engine braking ef-
fect.
EVALUATION
If there is no engine braking effect:
w Second coast brake is defective (f) Check for the lock±up mechanism.
(1) Drive in D range, O/D gear, at a steady speed
(lock±up ON) of about 75 km/h (47 mph).
(2) Lightly depress the accelerator pedal and check
that the engine rpm does not change abruptly.
If there is a big jump in engine rpm, there is no
lock±up. (d) While running in the D range, 2nd, 3rd and O/D
gears, check to see that the possible kick±
down vehicle speed limits for 2 ± 1, 3 ± 2 and
O/D ± 3 kickdowns conform to those indicated
on the automatic shift schedule. (See page
AT±230)
(e) Check for abnormal shock and slip at kick±down.
(c) Check for abnormal noise at acceleration an4
deceleration, and for shock at up±shift and
down shift.

5. P RANGE TEST
Stop the vehicle on a gradient (more than 51 and after
shifting into the P range, release the parking brake.
Then check to see that the parking lock pawl holds the
vehicle in place.(b) While running in the L range, release the acceler-
ator pedal and check the engine braking effect.
EVALUATION
If there is no engine braking effect:
wFirst and reverse brake is defective 3. L RANGE. TEST
(a) While running in the L range, check to see that there
is no up±shift to 2nd gear.
4. R RANGE TEST
Shift into the R range and, while starting at full throttle,
check for slipping.(c) Check for abnormal noise during acceleration and
deceleration.
