STALL TEST
This test is to check overall performance of automatic transmission
and engine by measuring stall speed at D and R ranges.
Be sure to perform this test only when transmission fluid is at normal
operating temperature (70–80C / 158–176F) and its level is be-
tween FULL HOT and LOW HOT. (Refer to “Fluid level” in this sec-
tion.)
CAUTION:
Do not run engine at stall more than 5 seconds continuous-
ly, for oil temperature may rise excessively high.
1) Install tachometer.
2) Apply parking brake and block vehicle wheels.
3) Start engine with selector lever shifted to P range.
4) Depress brake pedal.
5) Shift selector lever to D range and depress accelerator pedal ful-
ly while watching tachometer. Read engine rpm quickly when it
has become constant (stall speed).
6) Release accelerator pedal immediately after stall speed is
checked.
7) In the same way, check stall speed at R range.
8) Stall speed should be within following specification.
Stall speed: 2,500 – 2,900 r / min
(For both G10 and G13 engine models)
9) Possible causes for out-of-specification stall speed are as fol-
lows. Check each part which is suspected to be the cause.

LINE PRESSURE TEST
This test is to check oil pressure system for operation by measuring
oil pressure in oil pressure line. Make sure to perform this test only
when transmission fluid is at normal operating temperature.
NOTE:
Make sure that transmission fluid level is between FULL HOT
and LOW HOT marks on oil level gauge at normal operating
temperature which corresponds to 70–80C (155–176F) of
fluid. (Refer to “Fluid level” in this section.)
Check that transmission is free from fluid leakage.
1) With engine at stop, remove plug and connect oil pressure
gauge to plug hole.
Special Tool
(A): 09925-37811-001
2) Install tachometer.
3) Apply parking brake and block vehicle wheels.
4) With selector lever shifted to P range, start engine.
5) Depress brake pedal fully.
6) Shift selector lever to D range and check oil pressure with engine
running at idling speed and at stall speed respectively.
7) Repeat the same check as in step 6) with selector lever shifted
to R range.
CAUTION:
Do not run engine at stall more than 5 seconds continu-
ously, for oil temperature may rise excessively high.
8) If line pressure is within respective specification in table below,
oil pressure system is in good condition.

ROAD TEST
This test is to check if upshift and downshift take place at specified
speeds while actually driving vehicle on a level road.
WARNING:
Carry out the test in very little traffic area to prevent an ac-
cident.
The test requires 2 persons, a driver and a tester.
1) Warm up engine.
2) With engine running at idle, shift selector lever to D range.
3) i) Accelerate vehicle speed by depressing accelerator pedal
very little (within 4 deg. of throttle valve opening).
ii) Check if upshift takes place from 1st to 2nd at about 18 km / h
(11 mile / h) and from 2nd to 3rd at about 30 km / h (19 mile / h).
iii)
[For G10 Engine Model]
Stop vehicle once. Then start it again and while accelerating
by depressing accelerator pedal fully, check if upshift takes
place from 1st to 2nd at 52 km / h (33 mile / h) and from 2nd to
3rd at 97 km / h (61 mile / h).
[For G13 Engine Model]
Stop vehicle once. Then start it again and while accelerating
by depressing accelerator pedal fully, check if upshift takes
place from 1st to 2nd at 58 km / h (36 mile / h) and from 2nd to
3rd at 110 km / h (69 mile / h).
iv) Stop vehicle again.
v) Start vehicle and keep it running at 25 km / h (15 mile / h) and
then release accelerator pedal completely. 1 or 2 seconds lat-
er, depress accelerator pedal fully and check if downshift
from 2nd to 1st takes place.
vi) Keep vehicle running at 75 km / h (47 miles / h) and in the
same way as in step v), check if downshift from 3rd to 2nd
takes place.
vii) If upshift or downshift fails to take place at each specified
speed in the road test, possible causes for such failure are as
follows. Check each part which is suspected to be the cause.

MANUAL ROAD TEST
This test checks the gears being used in L, 2 or D range when driven
with unoperated gear shift control system.
Test drive vehicle on a level road.
1) With selector lever in P range, start engine and warm it up.
2) After warming up engine, disconnect coupler of solenoid valve
wire as shown in left figure.
3) With selector lever in L range, start vehicle and accelerate to
30 km / h (19 mile / h). Check in this state that 1st gear is being
used.
4) At 30 km / h (19 mile / h), shift selector lever to 2 range and accel-
erate to 60 km / h (37 mile / h).
Check in this state that 2nd gear is being used.
5) At 60 km / h (37 mile / h), shift selector lever to D range and check
that 3rd gear is used when speed is higher than 60 km / h
(37 mile / h).
6) After above checks, stop vehicle then engine, and connect sole-
noid valve wire coupler.
ENGINE BRAKE TEST
WARNING:
Before test, make sure that there is no vehicle behind so as
to prevent rear-end collision.
1) While driving vehicle in 3rd gear of D range, shift selector lever
down to 2 range and check if engine brake operates.
2) In the same way as in step 1), check engine brake for operation
when selector lever is shifted down to L range.
3) If engine brake fails to operate in above tests, possible cause for
such failure are as follows.
Check each part which is suspected to be the cause.
Condition
Possible causes

shifted down to 2 rangeSecond brake defective
Fails to operate when
shifted down to L range1st-reverse brake defective

“P” RANGE TEST
1) Stop vehicle on a slope, shift selector lever to P range and at the
same time apply parking brake.
2) After stopping engine, release parking brake lever gradually and
check that vehicle remains stationary.
SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE CHECK
Whenever shift solenoid valves are removed from transmission,
verify their valve function physically before they are reinstalled.
1) Apply oiler to solenoid valve and give compression by hands
and then check to be sure that transmission fluid from oiler does
not come out from side holes of solenoid valve when battery volt-
age is not conducted.
2) Holding the above condition, conduct battery voltage and then
make sure that fluid is exhausted with vigor.
NOTE:
If fluid does not come out with vigor in above step 2) inspec-
tion, do not reuse that solenoid valve.
