Stall Test
5. Stall Test
A: INSPECTION
NOTE:
The stall test is of extreme importance in diagnos-
ing the condition of the automatic transmission and
the engine. It should be conducted to measure the
engine stall speeds in “R” and “2” ranges (when
HOLD switch is ON).
Purposes of the stall test:
 To check the operation of the automatic trans-
mission clutch.
 To check the operation of the torque converter
clutch.
 To check engine performance.
1) Check that the throttle valve opens fully.
2) Check that the engine oil level is correct.
3) Check that the coolant level is correct.
4) Check that the ATF level is correct.
5) Check that the differential gear oil level is cor-
rect.
6) Increase ATF temperature to 70 — 80°C (158 —
176°F) by idling the engine for approximately 30
minutes (with select lever set to “N” or “P”).
7) Place the wheel chocks at the front and rear of
all wheels and engage the parking brake.
8) Shift the manual linkage to ensure it operates
properly, then shift the select lever to the “2” range
and turn the HOLD switch to ON.
9) While forcibly depressing the foot brake pedal,
gradually depress the accelerator pedal until the
engine operates at full throttle.
10) When the engine speed is stabilized, record
that speed quickly and release the accelerator ped-
al.
11) Shift the select lever to “N” range, and cool
down the engine by idling it for more than one
minute.12) If the stall speed in “2” range (with HOLD switch
ON) is higher than specifications, low clutch slip-
ping and “2-4 brake slipping” may occur. To identify
it, conduct the same test as above in “R” range.
13) Perform the stall tests with the select lever in
the “D” range.
NOTE:
 Do not continue the stall test for more than five
seconds at a time (from closed throttle, fully open
throttle to stall speed reading). Failure to follow this
instruction causes the engine oil and ATF to deteri-
orate and the clutch and brake to be adversely af-
fected.
 Be sure to cool down the engine for at least one
minute after each stall test with the select lever set
in the “P” or “N” range and with the idle speed lower
than 1,200 rpm.
 If the stall speed is higher than the specified
range, attempt to finish the stall test in as short a
time as possible, in order to prevent the automatic
transmission from sustaining damage.
