1991 LEXUS SC400 differential

(c) Check for abnormal noise and vibration.Run at the D position lock±up or O/D gear and check for ab-
normal noise and vibration.
HINT: The check for the cause of abnormal noise and vibra-
tion must be performed very thoroughly care as it could also
be due to loss of balance in the propeller shaft, differential,
torque converter clutch, etc..
(d) Check kick±down operation While running in the D position, 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 kick±downs conform to those indi-
cated on the automatic shift schedule. (See page AT±45)
(e) Check abnormal shock and slip at kick±down.
(f) Check the lock±up mechanism. (1) Drive in D position, O/D gear, at a steady speed (lock±upON) of about 58 km/h (36 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.
2. 2 POSITION TEST Shift into the 2 position and fully depress the accelerator ped-
al and check the following points:
(a) Check up±shift operation Check to see that the 1 "2 up±shift takes place and that the
shift point conforms to that shown on the automatic shift
schedule. (See page AT±45)
HINT:
w There is no O/D up±shift and lock±up in the 2 position.
(b) Check engine braking While running in the 2 position and 2nd gear, release the ac-
celerator pedal and check the engine braking effect.

20. INSPECT BALL JOINTS AND DUST COVERS
(a) Inspect the ball joints for excessive looseness.wJack up the front of the vehicle and support it with
stands.
w Make sure the front wheels are in a straight±ahead
position, and depress the brake pedal.
w Jack up the lower suspension arm until there is about
half a load on the front coil spring.
w Move the front wheel up and down and check that the
ball joint has no excessive play.
Maximum lower ball joint vertical play.
0.3 mm (0.012 in.)
If the play is greater than maximum, replace the ball joint.
(b) Visually check the dust covers for damage
21. C H E C K A U TO M AT I C T RANSMISSION AND
DIFFERENTIAL OIL (FLUID)
A. Inspect automatic transmission fluid
(a) Visually check the differential for fluid and leakage.
If leakage is found, check for the cause and repair.
(b) Check the fluid level with the engine idling and shift lever at ªPº.
If the level is low, add fluid.
Transmission fluid:
See item 22 (A)
B. Inspect differential oil
(a) Visually check the transmission for oil and leakage.If leakage is found, check for the cause and repair.
(b) Remove the filler plug, and feel inside the hole with your finger. Check that the oil comes to within 5 mm (0.20 in) of the
bottom edge of the filler hole.
If the level is low, add oil until it begins to run out of the filler
hole.
