TORQUE CONVERTER STALL TESTM1231005400362
This test measures the maximum engine speed when the
selector lever is in the "D" or "R" position and the torque con-
verter stalls. This tests the operation of the torque converter,
starter motor and one-way clutch operation, as well as the hold-
ing performance of the clutches and brakes in the transmission.
Do not let anyone stand in front of or behind the vehi-
cle while this test is performed.
1. Check the transmission fluid level and temperature. Check
the engine coolant temperature.
Transmission fluid level: At the "HOT" mark on the dipstick
Transmission fluid temperature: 70 80C
Engine coolant temperature: 80 100C
NOTE: Measures transmission fluid temperature with
diagnostic tool MB991958 (MUT-III sub assembly).
2. Check both rear wheels.
3. Pull the parking brake lever on, with the brake pedal fully
depressed.
4. Start the engine. 9 Transmission

The throttle should not be fully open for any more than
five seconds.
If you repeat the stall test when the transmission fluid
temperature is greater than 80
C, move the selector
lever to the "N" position and let the engine run at
approximately 1,000 r/min for at least one minute. Wait
until the transmission fluid temperature returns to 80
C
or less.
5. Move the selector lever to the "D" position. Fully depress the
accelerator pedal and read the maximum engine speed at
this time.
Standard value: Stall speed: 2,100
2,600 r/min
6. Move the selector lever to the "R" position. Fully depress the
accelerator pedal and read the maximum engine speed.
Standard value: Stall speed: 2,100
2,600 r/min
TORQUE CONVERTER STALL TEST JUDGMENT
RESULTS
1. Stall speed is too high in both "D" and "R" range
Malfunction of the torque converter (Slippage on the splines
of the torque converter and the input shaft)
Low line pressure
Low-reverse brake slippage and malfunction of the one-way
clutch
2. Stall speed is too high in "D" range only
Underdrive clutch slippage
3. Stall speed is too high in "R" range only
Reverse clutch slippage
4. Stall speed is too low in both "D" and "R" ranges
Malfunction of the torque converter (Slippage of the
one-way clutch)
Insufficient engine output
HYDRAULIC PRESSURE TESTSM1231005500392
The transmission fluid temperature should be between 70
80C during the test.
1. Check the transmission fluid level and temperature. Check
engine coolant temperature.
Transmission fluid level: "HOT" mark on the dipstick
Transmission fluid temperature: 70 80C
Engine coolant temperature: 80 100C
2. Raise the vehicle so that the wheels are free to turn.

4. Restart the engine.
5. Check that there are no leaks around the special tool port
adapters.
6. Measure the hydraulic pressure at each port under the
conditions given in the standard hydraulic pressure table,
and check that the measured values are within the standard
value ranges.
7. If the pressure is not within the standard value, stop the
engine and refer to the hydraulic pressure test diagnosis
table.
8. Remove the O-ring from the port plug and replace it.
9. Remove the special tool, and install the plugs to the
hydraulic pressure ports.
10.Start the engine and check that there are no leaks around
the plugs.
