3) Accelerate vehicle speed by depressing accelerator pedal gradually.
4) While driving in “D” range, check if gear shift occurs properly as shown in “GEAR SHIFT DIAGRAM” in this
section.

Manual Road Test
This test check the gear being used in “L”, “2” or “D” range when
driven with unoperated gear shift control system. Test drive vehi-
cle on a level road.
1) Disconnect shift solenoid coupler (1) valves on transmission.
2) With select lever in “P”, start engine and warm it up.
3) With select lever in “L” range, start vehicle and accelerate to
20 km/h (12.5 mile/h). Check in this state that 1st gear is
being used.
4) At 20 km/h (12.5 mile/h), shift select lever to “2” range and
accelerate to 40 km/h (25 mile/h). Check in this state that 3rd
gear is being used.
5) At 40 km/h (25 mile/h), shift select lever to “D” range and
check that O/D gear is used when speed is higher than 40
km/h (25 mile/h).
6) After above checks, stop vehicle then engine, and connect
shift solenoids coupler (1) with ignition switch OFF.
7) Clear DTC with scan tool.
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 before 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 :NOTE:
Before this test, check diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
WARNING:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not touch the hot
exhaust system when disconnecting shift solenoid cou-
pler (1).

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) If engine brake fails to operate in above tests, possible causes for such failure are as follows. Check each
part which is suspected to be the cause.
TROUBLESHOOTING
“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 paring 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.NOTE:
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.
Condition Possible cause
When “N” → “D” time lag exceeds specification•Low line pressure
•Worn forward clutch
When “N” → “R” time lag exceeds specification•Low line pressure
•Worn direct clutch
•Worn reverse brake
WARNING:
Before test, make sure that there is no vehicle behind so as to prevent rear-end collision.
Condition Possible cause
Fails to operate when shifted down to “2” range Second coast brake defective
Fails to operate when shifted down to “L” range Reverse brake defective
WARNING:
Before test, check to make sure no one is around vehicle or down on a slope and keep watchful for
safety during test.
