Stall Speed
Test
CAUTION:
. To prevent transmission damage, do not te3t stall speed for mors than 10 s€€onds at a time'
. Do not shift the lever while raising th€ engine spsed.
. Be sure to remove tho pressuro gauge bofore testing stall speed,
1. Before testing, check the transmission fluid level, s€e page 14-160.
2. Engage the parking brake and block all four wheels
3. Connect the tachometer, and start the engane.
4. Make sure the Ay'C switch is OFF
5. After the engine haswarmed upto normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on),shiftinto@ position.
6. Fully press the brake pedal and accelerator for 6 to 8 seconds, and note engine speed '
j. A|ow 2 minutes for cooling, then repeat the test in E, E ('97 - 98). E {'99 - 00}, and E positions. Stall speed should
be the same in E, E, E, tr. and E positions
Stall Speed rpm:
Specitication: 2,550 rpm
S€rvice Limit: ?,400 - 2.700 rpm
TROUBLEPROBAELE CAUSE

1. Bring the transmission up to operating temperature
(the radiator fan comes on) by driving the vehicle.
Park the vehicle on level ground. turn the engane
off. then remove the drain Plug.
NOTE: lf a cooler flusher is to be used, see page

Wlrile testing, be careful of the rotaling wheols.
Mako sure lifts, iacks, and safety stands ar€ placed
properly (see scction 11.
Before testing, be sure the transmission fluid is
filled to the proPer level.
4WD:
Raise the vehicle (see section 11.
2WD:
Raise the front of the vehicle, and make sure it is
securely supported. Set the parking brake, and block
both rear wheels securely.
Allow all four wheels {4WD) or front wheels (2wD}
to rotate freely.
Warm up the engine (the radiator fan comes on),
then stop it and connect the tachometer.
Connect the oil pressure gauges to each inspection
hole securely, and do not allow dust or other foreign
particles to enter the inspection holes.
