MECHANICAL SYSTEM TESTS
1. PERFORM MECHANICAL SYSTEM TESTS
(a) Measure the stall speed.
The object of this test is to check the overall performance of the transaxle and engine by measuring
the stall speeds in the D and R positions.
NOTICE:

Perform the test at the normal operating ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) temperature 50
to 80
C (122 to 176
F).

Do not continuously run this test for longer than 10 seconds.

To ensure safety, do this test in a wide, clear level area which provides good traction.

The stall test should always be carried out in pairs. One technician should observe the condi-
tions of wheels or wheel stoppers outside the vehicle while the other is doing the test.
(1) Chock the 4 wheels.
(2) Connect an Intelligent Tester II to the DLC3.
(3) Fully apply the parking brake.
(4) Keep your left foot pressed firmly on the brake pedal.
(5) Start the engine.
(6) Shift into the D position. Press all the way down on the accelerator pedal with your right foot.
(7) Quickly read the stall speed at this time.
Stall speed: 2,400
150 rpm
(8) Do the same test in the R position.
Stall speed: 2,400
150 rpm
Evaluation:
ProblemPossible cause
(a) Stall engine speed is low in D and R positions

Engine power output may be insufficient

Stator one–way clutch not operating properly
HINT: If the value is less than the specified value by 600 rpm or
more, the torque converter could be faulty.
(b) Stall engine speed is high in D position

Line pressure is too low

Forward clutch slipping

One–way clutch No.2 not operating properly
(c) Stall engine speed is high in R position

Line pressure is too low

Reverse clutch slipping

1st and reverse brake slipping
(d) Stall engine speed is high in D and R positions
Line pressure is too low

Improper fluid level

(b) Measure the time lag.
(1) When the shift lever is shifted while the engine is idling, there will be a certain time lapse or lag
before the shock can be felt. This is used for checking the condition of the direct clutch, forward
clutch, and 1st and reverse brake.
NOTICE:

Perform the test at the normal operating ATF temperature 50 to 80
C (122 to 176
F).

Be sure to allow 1 minute interval between tests.

Perform the test three times, and measure the time lags. Calculate the average value of the three
time lags.
(2) Connect an Intelligent Tester II to the DLC3.
(3) Fully apply the parking brake.
(4) Start and warm up the engine and check idle speed.
Idle speed: approx. 700 rpm (In N position and A/C OFF)
(5) Shift the lever from N to D position. Using a stop watch, measure the time from when the lever
is shifted until the shock is felt.
Time lag: N → D less than 1.2 seconds
(6) In the same way, measure the time lag for N → R.
Time lag: N → R less than 1.5 seconds
Evaluation (If N → D or N → R time lag is longer than the specified):
ProblemPossible cause
N → D time lag is longer

Line pressure is too low

Forward clutch worn

One–way clutch No.2 not operating properly
N → R time lag is longer

Line pressure is too low

Reverse clutch worn

1st and reverse brake worn
