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.

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.

Thermal Switch Operation l2WD)
During 4WD operation, pressure-regulated fluid is in contact with the clutch piston and the thermal switch.
lf the temperature of the fluid in the differential goes too high, the thermal switch pushes open the relief valve R. This
causes the pressure in the clutch piston to drop, and 4WD mode is disengaged.
THERMAL SWITCHRELIEF VALVE
Reliet Valve Operation
When the fluid pressure goes higher than the relief valve spring force, check valve R opens. Pressure applied at the clutch
piston is held constant. This feature adds stability by preventing the rear wheel drive system from experiencing excessive
to rque.

Check the fluid pressure as follows to determine whetherthe trouble is in the pump orgearbox.
1. Check the powsr steering fluid level (see page 17-15), and pump belt tension (see page 17-14).
2. Disconnect the pump outlet hose from the pump
outlet with care so as not to spill the pow€r steeringiluid on the frame and other pans. thon install theP/S joint adapter (pumpl on the pump outlet.

8. Turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock severaltimes to warm the fluid to operating temperature.
9, Measure steady-state fluid pressure while the engineis idling. lf the pump is in good condition, the gauge
should read less than 1,500 kPa (15 kgf/cmr, 213 psi).
lf it reads high, check the outlet hose or valve bodvunit (see General Troubleshooting).
10. Close the pressure control valve, then close theshut-off valve gradually until the pressure gauge

Check the fluid pressure as follows to determine whether
the trouble is in the pump or gearbox.
1. Check the power steering tluid level (see page 17-
