TIME LAG TEST
This test is to check conditions of clutch, reverse brake and fluid
pressure. “Time lag” means time elapsed since select lever is
shifted with engine idling till shock is felt.
1) With chocks placed in front and behind front and rear wheels
respectively, depress brake pedal.
2) Start engine.
3) With stop watch ready, shift select lever from “N” to “D”
range and measure time from that moment till shock is felt.
4) Similarly measure time lag by shifting select lever from “N” to
“R” range.
Specification for time lag
“N”
→
→ → → “D” : Less than 1.0 sec.
“N”
→
→→ → “R” : Less than 1.2 sec.
NOTE:
 Make sure that selector cable is properly adjusted.
 When repeating this test, be sure to wait at least
minute after select lever is shifted back to “N” range.
 Engine should be warmed up fully for this test.

LINE PRESSURE TEST
Purpose of this test is to check operating conditions of each part
by measuring fluid pressure in fluid pressure line.
Line pressure test requires following conditions.
Automatic fluid is at normal operating temperature (70 –
80°C /158 – 176°F).
Fluid is filled to proper level (between FULL and LOW on
dipstick).
1) Apply parking brake securely and place chocks against
wheels.
2) Remove fluid pressure check hole plug bolt.
3) Attach oil pressure gauge to fluid pressure check hole in
transmission case.
Special tool

4) Depress foot brake fully, run engine at idle and stall then check fluid pressure in “D” or “R” range.

After attaching oil pressure gauge, check that no fluid
leakage exists.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
MAINTENANCE SERVICE
FLUID LEVEL AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERA-
TURE
INSPECTION
1) Stop vehicle and place it level.
2) Apply parking brake and place chocks against wheels.
3) With selector at P position, start engine.
4) Warm up engine till fluid temperature reaches normal oper-
ating temperature (70 – 80°C/158 – 176°F). As a guide to
check fluid temperature, warm up engine to normal operat-
ing temperature.
5) Keep engine idling and shift selector slowly to L and back to
P position.
6) With engine idling, pull out dipstick, wipe it off with a clean
cloth and put it back into place.
7) Pull out dipstick (1) again and check fluid level indicated on
it. Fluid level should be between FULL HOT and LOW HOT.
If it is below LOW HOT, add an equivalent of DEXRON
®-III
or DEXRON
®-IIE up to FULL HOT.
A/T fluid specification
: An equivalent of DEXRON
®-III or DEXRON®-IIE
NOTE:
 DO NOT RACE ENGINE while checking fluid level, even
after the engine start.
 DO NOT OVERFILL. Overfilling can cause foaming and
loss of fluid through breather. Then slippage and
transmission failure can result.
 Bringing the level from LOW HOT to FULL HOT
requires 0.35 liters (0.74/0.62 US/Imp. pt).
 If vehicle was driven under high load such as pulling a
trailer, fluid level should be checked about half an hour
after it is stopped.

FLUID LEVEL AT ROOM TEMPERATURE
INSPECTION
The fluid level check at room temperature performed after repair
or fluid change before test driving is just preparation for level
check of normal operation temperature. The checking procedure
itself is the same as that described previously. If the fluid level is
between FULL COLD and LOW COLD, proceed to test drive. And
when the fluid temperature has reached the normal operating
temperature, check fluid again and adjust it as necessary.
FLUID CHANGE
1) Lift up vehicle.
2) When engine has cooled down, remove drain plug (1) from
oil pan and drain A/T fluid.
3) Install drain plug.
