9. PROBLEM SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION
Taking into consideration the results of the customer problem analysis, try to reproduce the symptoms. If the
problem is that the transmission does not shift up, shift down, or the shift point is too high or too low, conduct
the following road test referring to the automatic shift schedule and simulate the problem symptoms.
10. ROAD TEST
NOTICE:
Perform the test at normal operating ATF temperature 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F).
(a) D position test (NORM and PWR pattern):
Shift into the D position and fully depress the accelerator pedal and check the following points.
(1) Check up-shift operation.
Check that 1 " 2, 2 " 3, 3 " 4 and 4 " 5th up-shifts take place, and that the shift points conform
to the automatic shift schedule (See page SS-23).
HINT:
5th Gear Up-shift Prohibition Control (1. Coolant temp. is 55°C (131°F) or less. 2. Vehicle speed is
51 km/h (32 mph) or less.)
4th Gear Up-shift Prohibition Control (1. Coolant temp. is 40°C (104°F) or less. 2. Vehicle speed is
45 km/h (28 mph) or less.)
5th Gear Lock-up Prohibition Control (1. Brake pedal is depressed. 2. Coolant temp. is 60°C (140°F)
or less.)
When the 2nd start switch is on, there is no 1"2 up-shift and 2"1 down-shift.
(2) Check for shift shock and slip.
Check for shock and slip at the 1 " 2, 2 " 3, 3 " 4 and 4 " 5th up-shifts.
(3) Check for abnormal noises and vibration.
Drive in the D position lock-up or 5th gear and check for abnormal noises and vibration.
HINT:
The check for the cause of abnormal noises and vibration must be done very thoroughly as it could also be
due to loss of balance in the differential, torque converter clutch, etc.
(4) Check kick-down operation.
While running in the D position, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th gears, check that the possible kick-down
vehicle speed limits for 2 " 1, 3 " 2, 4 " 3 and 5th " 4 kick-downs conform to those indicated
on the automatic shift schedule (See page SS-23).
(5) Check abnormal shock and slip at kick-down.
(6) Check the lock-up mechanism.
Drive in D position 5th gear, at a steady speed (lock-up ON) of about 70 km/h (43 mph).
Lightly depress the accelerator pedal and check that the engine speed does not change
abruptly.
If there is a big jump in engine speed, there is no lock-up.
(b) 4 position test:
Shift into the 4 position and fully depress the accelerator pedal and check the following points.
(1) Check up-shift operation.
Check that the 1 " 2, 2 " 3 and 3 " 4 up-shift takes place and that the shift point conforms
to the automatic shift schedule (See page SS-23).
HINT:
There is no 5th up-shift in the 4 position.
4th Gear Lock-up Prohibition Control (1. Brake pedal is depressed. 2. Coolant temp. is 60°C (140°F)
or less.)

(2) Check engine braking.
While driving in the 4 position and 4th gear, release the accelerator pedal and check the engine
braking effect.
(3) Check for abnormal noises during acceleration and deceleration, and for shock at up-shift and
down-shift.
(4) Check the lock-up mechanism.
Drive in 4 position 4th gear, at a steady speed (lock-up ON) of about 64 km/h (40 mph).
Lightly depress the accelerator pedal and check that the engine speed does not change
abruptly.
If there is a big jump in engine speed, there is no lock-up.
(c) 3 position test:
Shift into the 3 position and fully depress the accelerator pedal and check the following points.
(1) Check up-shift operation.
Check that the 1 " 2 and 2 " 3 up-shift takes place and that the shift point conforms to the auto-
matic shift schedule (See page SS-23).
(2) Check engine braking.
While running in the 3 position and 3rd gear, release the accelerator pedal and check the engine
braking effect.
(3) Check for abnormal noises during acceleration and deceleration, and for shock at up-shift and
down-shift.
(d) 2 position test:
Shift into the 2 position and fully depress the accelerator pedal and check the following points.
(1) Check up-shift operation.
Check that the 1 " 2 up-shift takes place and that the shift point conforms to the automatic shift
schedule (See page SS-23).
HINT:
When the 2nd start switch is ON, there is no 1 "2 up-shift and 2 "1 down-shift.
(2) Check engine braking.
While running in the 2 position and 2nd gear, release the accelerator pedal and check the engine
braking effect.
(3) Check for abnormal noises during acceleration and deceleration, and for shock at up-shift and
down-shift.
(e) L position test:
Shift into the L position and fully depress the accelerator pedal and check the following points.
(1) Check no up-shift.
While running in the L position, check that there is no up-shift to 2nd gear.
(2) Check engine braking.
While running in the L position, release the accelerator pedal and check the engine braking ef-
fect.
(3) Check for abnormal noises during acceleration and deceleration.
(f) R position test:
Shift into the R position, lightly depress the accelerator pedal, and check that the vehicle moves back-
ward without any abnormal noise or vibration.
CAUTION:
Before conducting this test ensure that the test area is free from people and obstruction.

(g) P position test:
Stop the vehicle on a grade (more than 5°) and after shifting into the P position, release the parking
brake. Then, check that the parking lock pawl holds the vehicle in place.
11. 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 is not
aligned with the correct position.
If the indicator is not aligned with the correct position, carry out
the following adjustment procedures.
(a) Loosen the nut on the shift lever.
(b) Push the control shaft 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.
Torque: 13 N´m (130 kgf´cm, 9 ft´lbf)
(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.
12. 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 it is not as stated above, carry out the following adjustment
procedures.
Loosen the park/neutral position switch bolt and set
the shift lever to the N position.
Align the groove with neutral basic line.
Hold in position and tighten the bolt.
Torque: 13 N´m (130 kgf´cm, 9 ft´lbf)
For continuity inspection of the park/neutral position
switch, see page DI-394.
13. CHECK IDLE SPEED
Idle speed (In N position and air conditioner OFF):
700 ± 50 rpm

14. MECHANICAL SYSTEM TESTS
(a) Measure the stall speed.
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:
Do the test at normal operating fluid temperature 70 to 80 °C (158 to 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 always be 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 all 4 wheels.
(2) Connect an OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester to DLC3.
(3) Fully apply the parking brake.
(4) Keep your left foot pressing firmly on the brake pedal.
(5) Start the engine.
(6) Shift into the D position. Press all the way down on the accelerator pedal with your right foot.
Quickly read the stall speed at this time.
Stall speed: 2,150 ± 150 rpm
(7) Do the same test in R position.
Stall speed: 2,150 ± 150 rpm
Evaluation:
