2. CHECK SHIFT-UP D1 → D2
Press the accelerator pedal down all the way and check whether or not the A/T shifts up (D1 → D2) at the cor-
rect speed. Refer to AT- 6 2 , "
Vehicle Speed at Which Gear Shifting Occurs" .
With CONSULT-II
Read the gear position, throttle position and vehicle speed. Refer to AT- 9 5 , "
DATA MONITOR MODE" .
Does the A/T shift-up D1
→ D2 at the correct speed?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> Enter a check mark at AT- 2 0 4 , "
A/T Does Not Shift: D1 → D2" on the AT- 4 8 , "DIAGNOSTIC
WORKSHEET" , then continue the road test.
3. CHECK SHIFT-UP D2 → D3
Press the accelerator pedal down all the way and check whether or not the A/T shifts up (D2 → D3) at the cor-
rect speed. Refer to AT- 6 2 , "
Vehicle Speed at Which Gear Shifting Occurs" .
With CONSULT-II
Read the gear position, throttle position and vehicle speed. Refer to AT- 9 5 , "
DATA MONITOR MODE" .
Does the A/T shift-up D2
→ D3 at the correct speed?
YES >> GO TO 4.
NO >> Enter a check mark at AT- 2 0 6 , "
A/T Does Not Shift: D2 → D3" on the AT- 4 8 , "DIAGNOSTIC
WORKSHEET" , then continue the road test.
4. CHECK SHIFT-UP D3 → D4 AND ENGINE BRAKE
When the A/T changes speed D3 → D4, return the accelerator pedal.
With CONSULT-II
Read the gear position. Refer to AT- 9 5 , "
DATA MONITOR MODE" .
Does the A/T shift-up D3
→ D4 and apply the engine brake?
YES >> 1. Stop the vehicle. 2. Go to AT- 6 1 , "
Cruise Test - Part 3" .
NO >> Enter a check mark at AT- 2 0 8 , "
A/T Does Not Shift: D3 → D4" on the AT- 4 8 , "DIAGNOSTIC
WORKSHEET" , then continue the road test. Go to AT- 6 1 , "Cruise Test - Part 3" .
Cruise Test - Part 3NCS001BM
1. MANUAL MODE FUNCTION
Move to manual mode from “D” position.
Does it switch to manual mode?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Continue road test and add check mark to AT- 2 1 9 , "
Cannot Be Changed to Manual Mode" on the
AT- 4 8 , "
DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET" .
2. CHECK SHIFT-DOWN
During manual mode driving, is downshift from M5 → M4 → M3 → M2 → M1 performed?
With CONSULT-II
Read the gear position. Refer to AT- 9 5 , "
DATA MONITOR MODE" .
Is downshifting correctly performed?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> Enter a check mark at “Vehicle Does Not Shift” at the corresponding position (5th → 4th, 4th →
3rd, 3rd → 2nd, 2nd → 1st) on the AT- 4 8 , "
DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET" , then continue the road
test.

3. CHECK ENGINE BRAKE
Check engine brake.
Does engine braking effectively reduce speed in M1 position?
YES >> 1. Stop the vehicle. 2. Perform self-diagnostics. Refer to AT- 9 2 , "
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULT MODE" , AT- 1 0 2 ,
"Diagnostic Procedure without CONSULT-II" .
NO >> Enter a check mark at AT- 2 2 7 , "
Vehicle Does Not Decelerate by Engine Brake" on the AT- 4 8 ,
"DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET" , then continue trouble diagnosis.
