MECHANICAL SYSTEM TEST 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/2-3 and N-D L/ accumulators, front, rear and one-way clutches, 2nd brake band, and low and reverse brake. Preparation Perform the preparation procedure shown in the STALL TEST. (Refer to page K-22.) Procedure IDLE SPEED 1. Start the engine and check the idle speed in P range. (Refer to section F.) u Idle speed: 750--850 rpm 2. Shift from N range to D range. 3. Use a stopwatch to measure the time it takes from shifting until shock is felt. 4. Shift the selector to N and let the engine idle for 1 minute or more to cool the ATF. 5. Do the time lag test for the following shifts in the same manner. Make three measurements for each test and average the results. (1) N 4 D range (Normal mode) (2) N -+ D range (Hold mode) (3) N -+ R range .......................................... Specified time lag: N -t D range 0.5-46 second .....................
