STALL TEST
TIME LAG TEST PRELIMINARY CHECK
ROAD TEST HYDRAULIC TEST
MATRIX CHART (a) Check the tire inflation.
Measure the line pressure and make a basic check of fluid circuit.
Check if trouble lies within automatic transaxle. If noise or vibration occurs, the possible cause could
be with the compressor, engine, drive shaft and tires, etc. Check the automatic transaxle (each clutch, brake and gear) for wear.

TROUBLESHOOTING
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
(a) Troubles occurring with the automatic transaxle can be caused by either the engine or the transaxle
itself. These two areas should be checked before proceeding with troubleshooting.
(b) Troubleshooting should begin with the simplest operation, working up in order of difficulty, but first de-
termine whether the trouble lies within the engine or transaxle.
(c) Proceed with the inspection as follows:

2. PRELIMINARY CHECK
(a) Check the fluid level.
HINT:
The vehicle mjst have been driven so that the engine and trans-
saxle are at normaloperating temperature.
ATF temperature: 70 - 80 °C (158 - 176 °F)
(1) Park the vehicle on the level surface and set the
parking brake.
(2) With the engine idling, shift the selector into each
gear from the P to L position and return to the P
position.
(3) Pull out the transaxle dipstick and wipe it clean.
(4) Push it back fully into the pipe.
(5) Pull it out and check that the fluid level is in the HOT
range. If the level is at the low side of the hot range,
add new fluid.
Fluid type: ATF DEXRON®ll
NOTICE:
Do not overfill.
(b) Check the fluid condition.
If the fluid smells burnt or is black, replace it.
(c) Replace the ATF.
NOTICE:
Do not overfill.
(1) Using a hexagon wrench, remove the drain plug
and drain the fluid.
(2) Using a hexagon wrench, install the drain plug se-
curely.
(3) Add new fluid through the filler pipe.
Fluid type: ATF DEXRON®ll
Dry fill: 5.5 liters (5.8 US qts, 4.8 lmp.qts)
Drain and refill: 2.5 liters (2.6 US qts, 2.2 lmp.qts)

(4) Start the engine and shift the selector into all posi-
tions from the P position through the L position and
then shift it into the P position.
(5) With the engine idling, check the fluid level. Add the
fluid up to the COOL level on the dipstick.
(6) Check the fluid level at the normal operating tem-
perature 70 - 80 °C (158 - 176 °F) and add as nec-
essary.
NOTICE:
Do not overfill.
(d) If necessary, replace the differential fluid.
(1) Using a hexagon wrench, remove the drain plug
and drain the fluid.
(2) Using a hexagon wrench, install the drain plug se-
curely.
(3) Remove the filler plug.
(4) Add new fluid until it begins to run out of the filler
hole.
Fluid type: ATF D-ll or DEXRON®lll (DEXRON®ll)
Capacity: 1.4 liters (1.5 US qts, 1.2 lmp.qts)
(e) Check the differential fluid level.
Remove the filler plug and check the differential fluid lev-
el.

tion side, tighten the swivel nut.
(i) Adjust the park/neutral position switch.
If the engine will start with the shift selector in any position other
than the N or P position, adjustment is required.

3. MEASURE STALL TEST
The object of this test is to check the overall performance of the transaxle and the engine by measuring the
maximum engine speeds in the D and R positions.
NOTICE:
Do the test at normal operating fluid temperature 50 - 80°C (122 - 176 °F).
Do not continuously run this test longer than 5 seconds.
(1) Check the front and rear wheels.
(2) Connect the tachometer to the engine.
(3) Fully apply the parking brake.
