HOW TO PERFORM TROUBLE DIAGNOSES FOR QUICK AND ACCURATE REPAIR
A good understanding of the malfunction conditions can make troubleshooting faster and more accurate. In
general, each customer feels differently about a problem. It is important to fully understand the symptoms or
conditions for a customer complaint.
Make good use of the two sheets provided, “Information From Customer” (AT- 5 7
) and “Diagnostic Worksheet”
(AT- 5 8
), to perform the best troubleshooting possible.
8.❏ Perform the Diagnostic Procedures for all remaining items marked NG. Repair or replace the damaged parts.
Refer to the Symptom Chart when you perform the procedures. (The chart also shows some other possible
symptoms and the component inspection orders.)AT- 7 , "Ser-
vice Notice or
Precautions"
9.❏ Erase DTC from TCM and ECM memories.AT-39, "HOW
TO ERASE
DTC"

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 more 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:
