1st through 3rd gears in ªDº position and engine brake func-
tions with overdrive control switch set to ªOFFº.
1st and 2nd gears in ª2º position and engine brake functions
with accelerator pedal released (fully closed throttle). ..... For-
ward clutch or forward one-way clutch slippage
Stall revolution is too high in R position:
+Engine brake does not function in ª1º position. ..... Low &
reverse brake slippage
+Engine brake functions in ª1º position. ..... Reverse clutch slip-
page
Stall revolution within specifications:
+Vehicle does not achieve speed of more than 80 km/h (50
MPH). ..... One-way clutch seizure in torque converter housing
CAUTION:
Be careful since automatic fluid temperature increases abnor-
mally.
+Slippage occurs in 3rd and 4th gears in ªDº position. ..... High
clutch slippage
+Slippage occurs in 2nd and 4th gear in ªDº position. ..... Brake
band slippage
+Engine brake does not function in 2nd and 3rd gears in ªDº
position, 2nd gear in ª2º position, and 1st gear in ª1º position
with overdrive control switch set to ªOFFº.
Stall revolution less than specifications:
+Poor acceleration during starts. ..... One-way clutch seizure in
torque converter
