STALL TEST PROCEDURE
1. Check A/T fluid and engine oil levels. If necessary, add.
2. Drive vehicle for approx. 10 minutes or until fluid and oil reach
operating temperature.
3. Set parking brake and block wheels.
4. Install a tachometer where it can be seen by driver during test.
●It is good practice to mark the point of specified engine
rpm on indicator.
5. Start engine, apply foot brake, and place selector lever in D
position.
6. Accelerate to wide open throttle gradually while applying foot
brake.
7. Quickly note the engine stall revolution and immediately release
throttle.
●During test, never hold throttle wide open for less than 5
seconds.
Stall revolution:
8. Move selector lever to “N” position.
9. Cool off ATF.
●Run engine at idle for at least one minute.
10. Repeat steps 5 through 9 with selector lever in “2”, “1” and “R”
positions.ATF operating temperature:
50 - 80°C (122 - 176°F)

LINE PRESSURE TEST PORTS
Location of line pressure test ports are shown in the illustration.
●Always replace pressure plugs as they are self-sealing
bolts.
LINE PRESSURE TEST PROCEDURE
1. Check A/T fluid and engine oil levels. If necessary, add fluid or
oil.
2. Drive vehicle for approx. 10 minutes or until engine oil and AT F
reach operating temperature.
3. Install pressure gauge to corresponding line pressure port.
4. Set parking brake and block wheels.
●Continue to depress brake pedal fully while line pressure
test is being performed at stall speed.

5. Start engine and measure line pressure at idle and stall speed.
●When measuring line pressure at stall speed, follow the
stall test procedure.
Line pressure: Refer to AT-522, "

JUDGEMENT OF LINE PRESSURE TEST
Road TestECS004VU
DESCRIPTION
●The purpose of the test is to determine overall performance of A/
T and analyze causes of problems.
●The road test consists of the following three parts:
1. Check before engine is started
2. Check at idle
SAT493G
Judgement Suspected parts
At idleLine pressure is low in all positions.
●Oil pump wear
●Control piston damage
●Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
●Spring for pressure regulator valve damaged
●Fluid pressure leakage between oil strainer and pressure regulator valve
●Clogged strainer
Line pressure is low in particular posi-
tion.
●Fluid pressure leakage between manual valve and particular clutch
●For example, line pressure is:
− Low in “R” and “1” positions, but
− Normal in “D” and “2” positions.
Therefore, fluid leakage exists at or around low and reverse brake circuit.
Refer to AT-19, "
CLUTCH AND BAND CHART" .
Line pressure is high.
●Maladjustment of throttle position sensor
●A/T fluid temperature sensor damaged
●Line pressure solenoid valve sticking
●Short circuit of line pressure solenoid valve circuit
●Pressure modifier valve sticking
●Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
●Open in dropping resistor circuit
At stall
speedLine pressure is low.
●Maladjustment of throttle position sensor
●Line pressure solenoid valve sticking
●Short circuit of line pressure solenoid valve circuit
●Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
●Pressure modifier valve sticking
●Pilot valve sticking

1.CHECK STARTING GEAR (D1 ) POSITION
1. Drive vehicle for approx. 10 minutes to warm engine oil and ATF up to operating
temperature.
2. Park vehicle on flat surface.
3. Set overdrive control switch to “ON” position.
4. Move selector lever to “P” position.
5. Start engine.
6. Move selector lever to “D” position.
7. Accelerate vehicle by constantly depressing accelerator pedal
halfway.
8. Does vehicle start from D
