stall speed range on the tachometer scale.
3) Place the wheel chocks at the front and rear of
all wheels and engage the parking brake.
4) Move the manual linkage to ensure it operates
properly, and shift the select lever to the 2 range.
5) While forcibly depressing the foot brake pedal,
gradually depress the accelerator pedal until the
engine operates at full throttle.
B3M0286B
6) When the engine speed is stabilized, read that
speed quickly and release the accelerator pedal.
7) Shift the select lever to Neutral, and cool down
the engine by idling it for more than one minute.
8) Record the stall speed.
9) If stall speed in 2 range is higher than
specifications, low clutch slipping and 2-4 brakeslipping may occur. To identify it, conduct the same
test as above in D range.
10) Perform the stall tests with the select lever in
the R range.
NOTE:
IDo not continue the stall test for MORE THAN
FIVE SECONDS at a time (from closed throttle,
fully open throttle to stall speed reading). Failure to
follow this instruction causes the engine oil and
ATF to deteriorate and the clutch and brake to be
adversely affected.
Be sure to cool down the engine for at least one
minute after each stall test with the select lever set
in the P or N range and with the idle speed lower
than 1,200 rpm.
IIf the stall speed is higher than the specified
range, attempt to finish the stall test in as short a
time as possible, in order to prevent the automatic
transmission from sustaining damage.Stall speed (at sea level):
