CVT Fluid CheckNCAT0025FLUID LEAKAGE CHECKNCAT0025S011. Clean area suspected of leaking. Ð for example, mating sur-
face of converter housing and transmission case.
2. Start engine, apply foot brake, place selector lever in ªDº posi-
tion and wait a few minutes.
3. Stop engine.
4. Check for fluid leakage.
FLUID CONDITION CHECKNCAT0025S02

Overheating
FLUID LEVEL CHECKNCAT0025S03Refer to MA section (ªChecking CVT Fluidº, ªCHASSIS AND BODY
MAINTENANCEº).
Stall TestNCAT0026STALL TEST PROCEDURENCAT0026S011. Check CVT fluid and engine oil levels. If necessary, add.
2. Drive vehicle for approx. 10 minutes or until engine oil and CVT
fluid reach operating temperature.

3. Set parking brake and block wheels.
4. Install a tachometer where it can be seen by driver during test.
IIt is good practice to mark the point of specified engine
rpm on indicator.
5. Start engine, apply foot brake, and place selector lever in D
position.
6. Accelerate to wide open throttle gradually while applying foot
brake.
7. Quickly note the engine stall revolution and immediately
release throttle.
IDuring test, never hold throttle wide open for more than 5
seconds.
Stall revolution:
2,350 - 2,850 rpm
8. Move selector lever to ªNº position.
9. Cool off CVT fluid.
IRun engine at idle for at least one minute.

IAlways replace pressure plugs as they are self-sealing
bolts.
LINE PRESSURE TEST PROCEDURENCAT0027S021. Check CVT fluid and engine oil levels. If necessary, add fluid
or oil.
2. Drive vehicle for approx. 10 minutes or until engine oil and CVT
fluid reach operating temperature.

2. Install torque converter to drive plate.
IWith converter installed, rotate crankshaft several turns to
check that transaxle rotates freely without binding.
3. Reinstall any part removed.
4. Adjust control cable. Refer to AT-114.
5. Check continuity of PNP switch. Refer to AT-53.
6. Refill transaxle with CVT fluid and check fluid level.
7. Move selector lever through all positions to be sure that tran-
saxle operates correctly. With parking brake applied, idle
engine. A slight shock should be felt through the hand gripping
the selector each time the transaxle is shifted.
8. Perform road test. Refer to AT-36.
