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

Noise and vibration
Drive the vehicle in OD (lock-up), OD (no lock-up), 3rd (Hold) 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.
Kick-down
Drive the vehicle in OD, 3rd and 2nd gears and check that kick-down occurs for OD->3, OD->2, OD->1,
3->2, 3-+1, 2-> 1, and the shift points are as shown in the shift diagram.
S Range Test
Shift pattern
1. Shift the selector lever to S range and select the Economy mode.
2. Accelerate the vehicle and check that 1-2 and 2-3 up-shifts and down-shifts are obtained, and that
no overdrive and no lock-up are obtained.
Note
a) Inspections of shift shock and shift point are not necessary because these are the same
as those of the D Range Test.
b)ln S range, the shift patterns for Economy and Power modes are the same.
c) Shift points are the same as those of the D range (Power) shift diagram.
3. While driving in S range (Economy mode) and 3rd gear, select the Hold mode and check that 3rd
gear is held until the 3-2 down-shift point as shown in the S range (Hold) shift diagram is achieved.
4. Accelerate the vehicle with S range (Hold mode) and check that 2nd gear is held.

Slippage Test
This step is performed to inspect slippage of the friction elements.
Preparation 1. Perform the preparation procedure shown in STEP 4 (STALL TEST). 2. Connect a tachometer to the engine and set it in the cabin.
3. Connect the EC-AT Tester and the adaptor harness between the EC-AT control unit and wiring
harness.
Procedure
Drive the vehicle in each of the gears indicated below and check whether the vehicle speed or engine
speed is above or below specification excessively as shown by the drum speed.

76G07B-038
Evaluation
When there is no malfunction in the electrical system or hydraulic system, but vehicle speed or engine
speed is below specification, the problem can be attributed to slippage of the friction elements.
Driving conditions below specification Possible Cause
No.1 condition only Low and reverse brake
No.2 condition only One-way clutch
No.3 condition only 2-4 brake band
No.4 condition only Coasting clutch
No.5 condition only 3-4 clutch

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.
