Stall TestS6RW0D5104013
This test is to check overall performance of automatic transaxle and engine by measuring stall speed at “D” and “R”
ranges. Be sure to perform this test only when transaxle fluid is at normal operating temperature and its level is
between FULL and LOW marks.
CAUTION!
• Do not run engine at stall more than 5 seconds continuously, or fluid temperature may rise
excessively high.
• After performing stall test, be sure to leave engine running at idle for longer than 1 minute before
another stall test.
1) Apply parking brake and block wheels.
2) Install tachometer.
3) Start engine with select lever shifted to “P” range.
4) Depress brake pedal fully.
5) Shift select lever to “D” range and depress accelerator pedal fully while watching tachometer. Read engine rpm
quickly when it has become constant (stall speed).
6) Release accelerator pedal immediately after stall speed is checked.
7) In the same way, check stall speed in “R” range.
8) Stall speed should be within the following specification.
Engine stall speed
Standard: 2,200 – 2,600 rpm

Time Lag TestS6RW0D5104014
This test is to check conditions of clutch, brake and fluid pressure. “Time lag” means time elapsed since select lever is
shifted with engine idling till shock is felt.
1) With chocks placed before and behind front and rear wheels respectively, depress brake pedal.
2) Start engine.
3) With stop watch ready, shift select lever from “N” to “D” range and measure time from that moment till shock is felt.
4) Similarly measure time lag by shifting select lever from “N” to “R” range.
Gear shifting time lag
“N” → “D”: Less than 0.7 sec.
“N” → “R”: Less than 1.2 sec.
NOTE
• When repeating this test, be sure to wait at least one minute after select lever is shifted back to “N”
range.
• Engine should be warmed up fully for this test.
• Repeat test 3 times and take average of those data for final time lag data.
Troubleshooting
Line Pressure TestS6RW0D5104015
Purpose of this test is to check operating conditions of each part by measuring fluid pressure in fluid pressure line.
Line pressure test requires the following conditions.
• Automatic fluid is at normal operating temperature (70 – 80 °C / 158 – 176 °F).
• Fluid is replenished to proper level (between FULL and LOW on dipstick).
• Air conditioner switch is turned OFF.
1) Apply parking brake securely and place chocks against wheels.
2) Remove fluid pressure check hole plug bolt.
3) Attach oil pressure gauge to fluid pressure check hole in transaxle case.

CAUTION!
After attaching oil pressure gauge, check that no fluid leakage exists.
4) Depress foot brake fully, run engine at idle and stall then check fluid pressure in “D” or “R” range.
CAUTION!
• Do not continue running engine at stall speed longer than 5 seconds.
• After performing line pressure test, be sure to leave engine running at idle for longer than one
minute before performing another line pressure test.

Troubleshooting
“P” Range TestS6RW0D5104016
1) Stop vehicle on a slope of 5 degrees or more, shift select lever to “P” range and at the same time apply parking
brake.
2) After stopping engine, depress brake pedal and release parking brake.
3) Then, release brake pedal gradually and check that vehicle remains stationary.
4) Depress brake pedal and shift select lever to “N” range.
5) Then, release brake pedal gradually and check that vehicle moves.
WARNING!
Before test, make sure no one is around vehicle or down on a slope and keep watchful for safety
during test.
