(g) Inspect and adjust the park/neutral position.
Check that the engine can be started with the shift lever
only in the N or P position, but not in other positions.
If it is not as stated above, carry out the following adjustment
procedures.
(1) Loosen the park/neutral position switch bolt and set
the shift lever to the N position.
(2) Align the groove and neutral basic line.
(3) Hold in position and tighten the bolt.
Torque: 5.4 N´m (55 kgf´cm, 48 in´lbf)
For continuity inspection of the park/neutral position
switch, see page DI-199.
(h) Check the idle speed.
Idle speed: 700 ± 50 rpm
(In N position and air conditioner OFF)
6. MECHANICAL SYSTEM TESTS
(a) Measure the stall speed.
The object of this test is to check the overall performance of the transaxle and engine by measuring
the stall speeds in the D and R positions.
NOTICE:
Do the test at normal operating fluid temperature 50 - 80 °C (122 - 176 °F).
Do not continuously run this test longer than 5 seconds.
To ensure safety, conduct this test in a wide, clear level area which provides good traction.
The stall test should always be carried out in pairs. One technician should observe the condi-
tions of wheels or wheel stoppers outside the vehicle while the other is doing the test.
(1) Chock the 4 wheels.
(2) Connect an OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester to DLC3.
(3) Fully apply the parking brake.
(4) Keep your left foot pressing firmly on the brake pedal.
(5) Start the engine.
(6) Shift into the D position. Press all the way down on the accelerator pedal with your right foot.
Quickly read the stall speed at this time.
Stall speed: 2,325 - 2,775 rpm
(7) Do the same test in R position.
Stall speed: 2,325 - 2,775 rpm
Evaluation:
ProblemPossible cause
(a) Stall speed low in D and R positions
Engine output may be insufficient
Stator one-way clutch is operating properly
HINT: If more than 600 rpm below the specified value, the torque
converter clutch could be faulty.
(b) Stall speed high in D position
Line pressure too low
Forward clutch slipping
No.2 one-way clutch not operating properly
O/D clutch slipping

Before installing the heated oxygen sensor,
twist the sensor wire counterclockwise
3 and 1/2 turns.
After installing the heated oxygen sensor,
check that the sensor wire is not twisted,
if it is twisted, remove the heated oxygen
