Stall Speed Test
A
1. Make sure the transmission fluid is filled to the
proper level (see page 14-231).
2. Apply the parking brake, and block all four wheels.
3. Connect the HDS to the DLC (A) located under the driver’s side of the dashboard.
4. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and go to the A/T Data List. Make sure the HDS communicates with
the PCM. If it does not, go to the DLC circuit
troubleshooting (see page 11- 204).
5. Make sure the A/C switch is OFF.
6. Start the engine, and warm it up to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on).
7. Shift to D while pressing the brake pedal firmly, then fully press the accelerator pedal for
6 to 8 seconds, and note the engine speed. Do not
move the shift lever or remove your foot off the
brake pedal while raising the engine speed.
8. Allow 2 minutes for cooling, then repeat the test in SandR.
NOTE: Do not test the stall speed for more than 10 seconds at a time.
The stall speed tests should be used for diagnostic purposes only.
Stall speed test results should be the same with the shift lever in D, S, and R.
Do not test the stall speed with the A/T oil pressure gauges installed. 9. If the stall speeds are out of the service limit, the
problems and probable causes are listed in the
table.

27. Bring the engine back to an idle, then apply the
brake pedal to stop the wheels from rotating.
28. Shift to R, then release the brake pedal. Measure the 4th clutch pressure at the 4th clutch pressure
inspection port (F) while holding the engine speed
at 2,000 rpm.

29. Turn the engine off, then disconnect the A/T oil pressure gauge from the 3rd, 4th, and 5th clutch
pressure inspection ports.
30. Install the sealing bolts in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th clutch pressure inspection ports with new sealing
washers, and tighten the bolts to 18 N·m (1.8 kgf·m,
13 lbf·ft). Do not reuse the old sealing washers. 31. If the pressures are out of the service limit, the
