DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
WARNING:
When performing a road test, select a place where there is no traffic or possibility of a traffic accident
and be very careful during testing to avoid occurrence of an accident.
Road test should be carried out with 2 persons, a driver and a tester, on a level road.
1) Connect scan tool to DLC with ignition switch OFF.
2) Clear DTC, pending DTC and freeze frame data in PCM memory by using scan tool and check fuel level meter
indication is 1/4 or more.
3) Start engine, warm it up to normal operating temperature and shift transfer lever to ª2Hº or ª4Hº range.
4) Increase vehicle speed with D range, and check that gear position changes from 1st to 2nd and keep driving
about 20 mph, 30 km/h in 2nd of ªDº range for 10 seconds. (Throttle valve should be not at idle position and
the opening should be kept constant in this step.)
5) Keep driving about 50 mph, 80 km/h in 4th of ªDº range for 10 seconds.
6) Release accelerator pedal, decrease vehicle speed and stop vehicle.
7) Check pending DTC and DTC by using scan tool.

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 to 80C /
158 ± 176F).
Fluid is filled to proper level (between FULL HOT and LOW HOT
on dipstick).
1) Apply parking brake securely and place checks against wheels.
2) Attach oil pressure gauge to fluid pressure check hole in trans-
mission case.
Special Tool
(A): 09925-37810
CAUTION:
After attaching oil pressure gauge, check that not fluid
leakage exists.
3) Depress foot brake fully, run engine at idle and stall and then
check fluid pressure in ªDº or ªRº range.
CAUTION:
Do not continue running engine at stall speed longer than
5 seconds.

STALL TEST
This test is to check overall performance of automatic transmission
and engine by measuring stall speed at ªDº and ªRº ranges. Be sure
to perform this test only when transmission fluid is at normal operat-
ing temperature and its level is between FULL and LOW marks.
CAUTION:
Do not run engine at stall more than 5 seconds continu-
ously, for fluid temperature may rise excessively high.
After performing stall test, be sure to leave engine running
at idle for longer than 30 seconds before another stall test.
1) Apply parking brake and block wheels.
2) Install tachometer.
3) Start engine with select lever shifted to ªPº.
4) Depress brake pedal fully.
5) Shift select lever to ªDº and depress accelerator pedal fully while
watching tachometer. Read engine rpm quickly when it has be-
come constant (stall speed).
6) Release accelerator pedal immediately after stall speed is
checked.
7) In the same way, check stall speed in ªRº range.
