HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR
REFRIGERANT
1. DO NOT HANDLE REFRIGERANT IN AN ENCLOSED
AREA OR NEAR AN OPEN FLAME
2.  ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION
3.  BE CAREFUL THAT LIQUID REFRIGERANT DOES NOT
GET IN YOUR EYES OR ON YOUR SKIN
If liquid refrigerant gets in your eyes or on your skin:
(a)  Wash the area with lots of cool water.
CAUTION: Do not rub your eyes or skin.
(b)  Apply clean petroleum jelly to the skin.
(c)  Go immediately to a physician or hospital for professional
treatment.

2. START ENGINE
3.  INSPECT COMPRESSOR FOR METALLIC SOUND
Check that there is metallic sound from the compressor when
the A/C switch is turned ON.
If a metallic sound is heard, replace the compressor assem-
bly.
4.  INSPECT PRESSURE OF REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

6.  INSPECT VISUALLY FOR LEAKAGE OF REFRIGERANT
FROM SAFETY SEAL
If there is any leakage, replace the compressor assembly.

(b)  Check engine braking.
While running in the L position, release the accelerator pedal
and check the engine braking effect.
(c)  C h e c k f o r abnormal noise during acceleration and
deceleration.
6. R POSITION TEST
Shift into the R position and while starting at full throttle,
check for slipping.
CAUTION: Before conducting this test ensure that the
test area is free from personnel and obstruction.
7.  P POSITION TEST
Stop the vehicle on a gradient (more than 5°) and after shift-
ing into the P position, release the parking brake.
Then check to see that the parking lock pawl holds the ve-
hicle in place.

5.  INSPECT AND ADJUST THROTTLE CABLE
(a)  Check that the throttle valve is fully closed.
(b)  Check that the inner cable is not slack.
(c)  Measure the distance between the outer cable end and
stopper on the cable.
Standard distance:
0±1 mm (0±0.04 in.)
If the distance is not standard, adjust the cable by the adjust-
ing nuts.
6.  INSPECT AND ADJUST SHIFT LEVER POSITION
When shifting the shift lever from the N position to other posi-
tions, check that the lever can be shifted smoothly and accu-
rately to each position and that the position indicator correctly
indicates the position.
If the indicator is not aligned with the correct position, carry
out the following adjustment procedures:
(a)  Loosen the nut on the control shaft lever.
(b)  Push the control shaft lever fully rearward.
(c)  Return the control shaft lever 2 notches to N position.
(d)  Set the shift lever to N position.
(e) While holding the shift lever lightly toward the R position side,
tighten  the shift lever nut.
(f)  Start the engine and make sure that the vehicle moves
forward when shifting the lever from the N to D position and
reverses when shifting it to the R position.
7. INSPECT AND ADJUST PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION
SWITCH
Check that the engine can be started with the shift lever only
in the N or P position, but not in other positions.
If not as started above, carry out these adjustment proce-
dures:
(a)  Loosen  the park/neutral position switch bolt and set the shift
lever to the N position.
(b)  Align the groove and neutral basic line.
(c)  Hold in position and tighten the bolt.
Torque: 13 NVm (130 kgfVcm, 9 ftVlbf)
For continuity inspection of the park/neutral position switch,
see page AT1±81.
8.  INSPECT IDLE SPEED
Idle speed:
700 + 50 rpm
(In N position and air conditioner OFF)

MECHANICAL SYSTEM TEST
STALL TEST
The object of this test is to check the overall performance of the transmission and engine by measuring
the stall speeds in the D and R positions.
NOTICE:
wDo the test at normal operating fluid temp. 50±80 °C (122±176 °F).
wDo not continuously run this test longer than 5 seconds.
wTo ensure safety, conduct this test in a wide, clear, level area which provides good traction.
wThe stall test should always be carried out in pairs. One technician should observe the
conditions of wheels or wheel stoppers outside the vehicle while the other is doing the test.
MEASURE STALL SPEED
(a)  Chock the 4 wheels.
(b)  Connect a tachometer to the engine.
(c)  Fully apply the parking brake.
(d)  Keep your left foot pressed firmly on the brake pedal.
(e)  Start the engine.
(f)  Shift into the D position. Fully depress the accelerator pedal with your right foot. Quickly read the stall
speed.
Stall speed:
2,450 + 150 rpm
(g)  Do the same test in R position.
Quickly read the stall speed.
Stall speed:
2,450 + 150 rpm

TIME LAG TEST
When the shift lever is shifted while the engine is idling, there will be a certain time lapse or lag before the
shock can be felt. This is used for checking the condition of the O/D direct clutch, forward clutch, direct
clutch, and first and reverse brake.
NOTICE:
wDo the test at normal operating fluid temp. 50±80 
°C (122±176 °F).
wBe sure to allow a one minute interval between tests.
wTake 3 measurements and take the average value.
MEASURE TIME LAG
(a)  Fully apply the parking brake
(b)  Start the engine and check idle speed.
Idle speed:
700 + 50 rpm (In N position and air conditioner OFF)
(c)  Shift the shift lever from N to D position. Using a stop watch, measure the time it takes from shifting the
lever until the shock is felt.
In same manner, measure the time lag for N " R.
Time lag:
N 
" D Less than 1.2 seconds
N 
" R Less than 1.5 seconds

HYDRAULIC TEST
MEASURE LINE PRESSURE
NOTICE:
wDo the test at normal operating fluid temp. 50±80 5C (122±176 5F).
wThe line pressure test should always be carried out in pairs. One technician should observe the
conditions  of wheels or wheel stoppers outside the vehicle while the other is doing the test.
wBe careful to prevent the oil pressure gauge hose from interfering with the exhaust pipe.
(a)  Warm up the transmission fluid.
(b)  Remove the test plug on the transmission case left side and connect the oil pressure gauge (SST). SST
09992±00094 (Oil pressure gauge)
HINT: Connecting the oil pressure gauge will be made easier by moving LH side heat insulator aside.
(c)  Fully apply the parking brake and chock the 4 wheels.
(d)  Start the engine and check idling RPM.
(e)  Keep your left foot pressed firmly on the brake pedal and shift into D position.
(f)  Measure the line pressure when the engine is idling.
(g)  Press the accelerator pedal all the way down. Quickly read the highest line pressure when engine speed
reaches stall speed.
(h)  In the same manner, do the test in R position. AT1±48
