Measure Time Lag
1. Fully apply the parking brake.
2. Start the engine. Check idling speed (A/C OFF).
3. Shift the shift lever from “N" to “D" range. Using a
stopwatch, measure the time it takes from shifting
the lever until the shock is felt.
Time lag: Less than 0.7 seconds
4. In same manner, measure the time lag for “N"
“R".
Time lag: Less than 1.2 seconds
Evaluation
1. If “N"
“ D" time lag is longer than specified:
Line pressure too low
Forward clutch malfunction
No.2 one-way clutch not operating properly
2. If “N"
“ R" time lag is longer than specified:
Line pressure too low
Direct clutch malfunction
No.3 brake malfunction
3. If both time lag is longer than specified:
Line pressure too low
