Road Testing

Perform roadtests using "Symptom" chart.Refertopage

AT-20.

"P"
POSITION

1. Place selector leverin"P" position andstart engine. Stop
engine andrepeat theprocedure inall positions, including
neutral position.
2. Stop vehicle onaslight upgrade andplace selector leverin
"P" position. Releaseparkingbraketomake surevehicle
remains locked.

"R"
POSITION

1. Manually moveselector leverfrom"P"to"R", andnote
shift quality.
2. Drive vehicle inreverse longenough todetect slippage or
other abnormalities.

"N"
POSITION

1. Manually moveselector leverfrom"R"and"0"to"N" and
note shift quality.
2. Release parkingbrakewithselector leverin"N" position.
Lightly depress accelerator pedaltomake surevehicle
does notmove. (When vehicle isnew orsoon afterclutches
have been replaced, vehiclemaymove slightly. Thisisnot

ANTI-LOCKBRAKESYSTEM
Purpose

The Anti-Lock BrakeSystem (ABS)consists ofelectronic andhydraulic components. Itallows forcon-
trol ofbraking forcesothat locking ofthe wheels canbeavoided.
The ABS:
1) Improves propertracking performance throughsteering wheeloperation.
2) Eases obstacles tobe avoided throughsteering wheeloperation.
3) Improves vehiclestability bypreventing flatspins.

Operation

• When thevehicle speedisless than 10km/h (6MPH) thissystem doesnotwork.
• The Anti-Lock BrakeSystem (ABS)hasself-test capabilities. Thesystem turnsonthe ABS warning
light for1second afterturning theignition switchON.The system performs anothertestthefirst time
the vehicle reaches 6km/h (4MPH). Amechanical noisemaybeheard asthe ABS performs aself-
test. This isanormal partofthe self-test feature.Ifa malfunction isfound during thischeck, theABS
warning lightwillcome on.
• During ABSoperation, amechanical noisemaybeheard. Thisisanormal condition.
