STEP 3 (SIGNAL INSPECTION)
In this step, the input and output signals are checked
with the EC-AT Tester.
The Tester checks for proper operation of the vari-
ous switches and sensors in the EC-AT system. It also
checks the control unit for output of the various con-
trol signals. Powertrain slippage is also checked.
Inspection Procedure
1. Disconnect the connectors from the EC-AT con-
trol unit.
2. Connect the adaptor harness between the control
unit and the connectors.
3. Turn the ignition switch and main switch ON.
4. Check indication of the respective light or digital
display in each condition, referring to the indica-
tion table below.

Comprehensive Usage
The EC-AT Tester can be used to inspect slippage of friction elements, shift points, and shift sequence
during the road test.
The inspection procedure is shown in STEP 7 (ROAD TEST).

STEP 4 (STALL TEST)
This step is performed to determine if there is slippage of the friction elements or malfunction of the
hydraulic components.
Preparation
Check the following items prior to testing:
1. Engine coolant, engine oil and ATF levels.
2. Warm the engine thoroughly to raise the ATF temperature to operating level (50—80°C, 122—176°F).
3. Engage the parking brake and use wheel chocks at the front and rear wheels.
Pull the parking brake Water temperature

7B TROUBLESHOOTING (G4A-EL)
Procedure
86U07B-034
1. Block the wheels and apply the parking brake.
2. Connect a tachometer to the engine.
3. Shift the selector lever to R.
4. Firmly depress the foot brake with the left foot, and gently depress the accelerator pedal with the right.
5. When the engine speed no longer increases, quickly read the engine speed and release the ac-
celerator.
Caution
Steps 4 ->• 5 must be done within 5 seconds.
6. Move the selector lever to N and let the engine idle for at least one minute.
Caution
The reason for idling for at least one minute is to cool the ATF and to prevent deterioration
of the fluid.

7. Perform the stall test for the following ranges in the same manner.
(1) D range (4) L range
(2) D range (Hold) (5) L range (Hold)
(3) S range (Hold)
Caution
Be sure to allow sufficient cooling time between each stall test.
Engine stall speed: D.S.L range 2170—2270 rpm
R range 2130—2230 rpm
Note
The stall test can be performed with the EC-AT Tester in place of a tachometer.

STEP 5 (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 condition of the 1-2, N-R, and N-D
accumulators, forward, and one-way clutches, 2-4 brake band, and low and reverse brake.
Preparation
76G07B-030
Procedure
1. Start the engine and check the idle speed in P range.
Idle speed: 900 ±58 rpm
2. Shift from N range to D range
3. Measure the time it takes from shifting until shock is felt, with 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 following shifts in the same manner.
(1) N D range (Hold mode)
(2) N -» R range
Note
Make three measurements for each test and take the average value.
Specified time lag: N -> D range
N -»• R range
