STEP 4 (TIME LAG TEST)
If the selector lever is shifted while the engine is idling, there will be a certain time lapse, or time lag,
before shock is felt. This step checks this time lag for checking the condition of the N-D and N-R ac-
cumulators, forward, reverse and one-way clutches, and low and reverse brake.
Preparation
Perform the preparation procedure shown in the STEP 3 (STALL TEST).
Procedure
1. Start the engine and check that the idle speed is 900 l5o rpm.
2. Shift from N range to D range
3. Measure the time it takes from shifting until shock is felt using a stop watch.
4. Shift the selector to N range and run the engine at idle speed for at least one minute.
5. Perform the test for the shift from N range to R range in the same manner.
Note
Make three measurements for each test and take the average value.
Specified time lag: N -> D range 0.4—1.2 second
N -> R range 0.4—1.5 second

Noise and vibration
Drive the vehicle in 1st gear and check for abnormal noise or vibration.
Note
Abnormal noise and vibration can also be caused by the torque converter, drive shaft or
differential. Therefore, checking of cause must be made with extreme care.
P Range Test
1. Shift into P range on a gentle slope, release the brake and check that the vehicle does not roll.
2. Shift into P range while driving the vehicle at maximum of 4 km/h (2.5 mph) on a level surface,
and check that the vehicle stops.
