Road TestBCS001GK
DESCRIPTION

The purpose of the test is to determine overall performance of
CVT and analyze causes of problems.

The road test consists of the following three parts:
1. “Check Before Engine Is Started” CVT-37
.
2. “Check at Idle” CVT-37
.
3. “Cruise Test” CVT-38
.

Before road test, familiarize yourself with all test procedures and
items to check.

Perform tests on all items until specified symptom is found.
Troubleshoot items which check out No Good after road test.
CONSULT-II OPERATION PROCEDURE
CAUTION:
If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunctions might be
detected in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which performs CAN communication.

Using CONSULT-II, perform a cruise test and record the result.

Print the result and ensure that shifts and lock-ups take place as per Shift Schedule.
1. Touch “DATA MONITOR” on “SELECT DIAG MODE” screen.
2. Touch “MAIN SIGNALS” to set recording condition.
3. See “Numerical Display”, “Barchart Display” or “Line Graph Dis-
play”.
4. Touch “START”.

NOSTIC WORKSHEET" . Continue “Road Test”.
Cruise TestBCS001GN
1. CHECK VEHICLE SPEED WHEN SHIFTING GEARS — PART 1
1. Drive vehicle for approximately 10 minutes to warm engine oil and CVT fluid up to operating temperature.
2. Park vehicle on flat surface.
3. Move selector lever to “P” position.
4. Start engine.
5. Move selector lever to “D” position.
6. Accelerate vehicle to 2/8-way throttle depressing accelerator
pedal constantly.
Read vehicle speed and engine speed. Refer to CVT-40,
"Vehicle Speed at Which Gear Shifting Occurs" .
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> Mark the box of CVT-170, "
