Evaluation of line pressure test
Stall Speed Test
1. Perform mechanical system test preparation. (See K2–72 Mechanical System Test Preparation.)
2. Connect a tachometer.
3. Start the engine.
4. Shift the selector lever to D range.
Caution
•Do not maintain WOT in any gear range for more than 5 seconds or transaxle damage will occur.
•If engine speed recorded by the tachometer exceeds maximum specified rpm, release the
accelerator pedal immediately. Clutch or band slippage is indicator.
5. Firmly depress the brake pedal with the left foot, and gently depress the accelerator pedal to the floor (WOT)
with the right.
6. When the engine speed no longer increases, quickly read the engine speed and release the accelerator pedal.
7. Shift the selector the to N position and let the engine idle for 1 minute or more to cool the ATF.
8. Perform stall tests for the remaining ranges and position in the same manner.
