NOTE: Warm up the engine to normal operating tem peratu re (the rad iator fan comes on )'
1. Apply parking brake and block the wheels. Start the engine, then shift to E position while depressing the brake
Dedal, Depress the accelerator pedal and release it suddenly. The engine should not stall'
2. Repeat same test in E Position.
3. Test-drive the vehicle on a flat road in the E position. Check that the shift points occur at approximate speeds shown
in the table. Also check for abnormal noise and clutch slippage.
NOTE: Throttle position sensor voltage represents the throttle opening
