[Fluid level inspection]
1) Inspect transmission case for evidence of fluid leakage.
Repair leaky point, if any.
2) Make sure that vehicle is placed level for fluid level check.
3) Check fluid level.
For fluid level checking procedure, refer to ON-VEHICLE SER-
VICE in SECTION 7B and be sure to perform it under specified
conditions. If fluid level is low, replenish specified fluid.
[Fluid change]
1) Perform steps 1) and 2) of above Fluid Level Inspection.
2) Change fluid. For its procedure, refer to ON-VEHICLE SER-
VICE in SECTION 7B.
CAUTION:
Use of specified fluid is absolutely necessary.
[Fluid cooler hose change]
Replace inlet and outlet hoses (1) of cooler hose and their clamps.
For replacement procedure, refer to ON-VEHICLE SERVICE in
SECTION 7B.

MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 0B-21
[Parking brake]
Check that lever has proper travel.
Check to ensure that parking brake is fully effective
when the vehicle is stopped on the safe slope and
brake lever is pulled all the way.
Steering

Check to ensure that steering wheel is free from in-
stability, or abnormally heavy feeling.

Check that the vehicle does not wander or pull to
one side.
Engine

Check that engine responds readily at all speeds.

Check that engine is free from abnormal noise and
abnormal vibration.
Body, Wheels and Power Transmitting System
Check that body, wheels and power transmitting sys-
tem are free from abnormal noise and abnormal
vibration or any other abnormal condition.
Meters and Gauge
Check that speedometer, odometer, fuel meter, tem-
perature gauge, etc. are operating accurately.
Lights
Check that all lights operate properly.
Windshield Defroster
Periodically check that air comes out from defroster
outlet when operating heater or air conditioning.
Set fan switch lever to “HI” position and mode lever to
defroster position for this check. WARNING:
With vehicle parked on a fairly steep slope,
make sure nothing is in the way downhill to
avoid any personal injury or property damage.
Be prepared to apply regular brake quickly
even if vehicle should start to move.

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.

“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.
