7B-20 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (4 A/T)
STALL TEST
This test is to check overall performance of automatic transmis-
sion and engine by measuring stall speed at “D” and “R” ranges.
Be sure to perform this test only when transmission fluid is at nor-
mal operating temperature and its level is between FULL and
LOW marks.
1) Apply parking brake and block wheels.
2) Install tachometer.
3) Start engine with select lever shifted to “P”.
4) Depress brake pedal fully.
5) Shift select lever to “D” and depress accelerator pedal fully
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 in “R” range.
8) Stall speed should be within following specification.
Stall speed
: 2,750 – 3,150 r/min CAUTION:
Do not run engine at stall more than 5 seconds contin-
uously, for fluid temperature may rise excessively
high.
After performing stall test, be sure to leave engine run-
ning at idle for longer than 30 seconds before another
stall test.
Test result Possible cause
Lower than
standard levelLack of engine output
Defective torque converter
Higher than
standard level
in “D” rangeLow line pressure
Malfunctioning 1st & 2nd brake
Malfunctioning rear clutch
Malfunctioning stator one-way clutch

Malfunctioning rear clutch
Malfunctioning reverse brake
Malfunctioning stator one-way clutch
Malfunctioning direct clutch

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.
Test result Possible cause

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
(A) : 09925-37811-001
4) Depress foot brake fully, run engine at idle and stall then check fluid pressure in “D” or “R” range.
Line pressureCAUTION:
After attaching oil pressure gauge, check that no fluid
leakage exists.

CAUTION:
Do not continue running engine at stall speed longer than 5 seconds.

ENGINE BRAKE TEST
1) While driving vehicle in 3rd gear of “D” range, shift select 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 select lever is shifted down to “L”
range.
3) Engine brake should operate in above test.
“P” RANGE TEST
1) Stop vehicle on a slope, shift select lever to “P” range and at the same time apply parking brake.
2) After stopping engine, depress brake pedal and release parking brake.
3) Then, release brake pedal gradually and check that vehicle remains stationary.
4) Depress brake pedal and shift select lever to “N” range.
5) Then, release brake pedal gradually and check that vehicle moves.WARNING:
Before test, make sure that there is no vehicle behind so as to pre-
vent rear-end collision.
Test result Possible cause
Fails to operate when shifted down to “2”
rangeDefective shift switch
1st & 2nd brake defective
Direct clutch defective
Fails to operate when shifted down to “L”
range
WARNING:
Before test, check to make sure no one is around vehicle or
down on a slope and keep watchful for safety during test.
Test result Possible cause
Vehicle moves at “P” range or
remains stationary at “N” rangeDefective parking lock pawl or
spring

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.
