1987 MAZDA 626 parking brake

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.

7B TROUBLESHOOTING (G4A-HL)
STEP 1 (PRELIMINARY INSPECTION)
In this step, the fundamental points related to the automatic transaxle are checked. These points must
be kept in the correct condition at all times in order to assure proper operation of the automatic transaxle.
83U07B-025
1. Automatic Transaxle Fluid (ATF)
Check ATF level and condition. (Refer to page
7B-71)

3. Oil Leakage
Check for oil leakage.
(1) Warm up the ATF.
(2) Apply the parking brake and block the wheels
to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
(3) Shift the selector lever to R range.
(4) Check if oil leaks from the following oil seals
or gaskets.
(5) If oil leaks, replace the oil seal or gasket.

STEP 3 (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

Inspection of Level
1. Apply the parking brake and position wheel chocks
to prevent the car from rolling forward.
Note
Place the car on a flat, level surface.
2. Run the engine so that the automatic transaxle fluid
reaches specified temperature.
3. While the engine is idling, shift the select lever from
P to L or P to 1 and back again.
4. Let the engine idle.
5. Shift the select lever to P.
