8. MECHANICAL SYSTEM TESTS
(a) Measure the stall test
The object of this test is to check the overall performance of the transaxle and engine by measuring
the stall speeds in the D and R positions.
NOTICE:
Do the test at normal operation ATF temperature 50 − 80°C (122 − 176°F).
Do not continuously run this test longer than 5 seconds.
To ensure safety, conduct this test in a wide, clear, level area which provides good traction.
The stall test should be always carried out in pairs. One technician should observe the condi-
tions of wheels or wheel stoppers outside the vehicle while the other is doing the test.
(1) Chock the 4 wheels.
(2) Fully apply the parking brake.
(3) Connect OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand−held tester to the DLC3.
