(c) Allow the engine to idle with the air conditioning
OFF.
(d) Set the parking brake and keep the brake pedal
depressed firmly.
(e) Check the D range time lag.
(1) Move the shift lever to N and wait for 1 minute.
(2) Move the shift lever to D and measure the time
until the shock is felt.
(3) Repeat the 2 procedures above 3 times, and
calculate the average time of the 3 tests.
(f) Check the R range time lag.
(1) Move the shift lever to N and wait for 1 minute.
(2) Move the shift lever to R and measure the time
until the shock is felt.
(3) Repeat the 2 procedures above 3 times, and
calculate the average time of the 3 tests.
Standard value:
D range time lag is less than 1.2 seconds
R range time lag is less than 1.5 seconds
Evaluation:

HYDRAULIC TEST
1. PERFORM HYDRAULIC TEST
(a) Measure the line pressure.
NOTICE:
• Perform the test at the normal operating ATF
temperature: 50 to 80
C (122 to 176F).
• The line pressure test should always be
performed with at least 2 people. One person
should observe the condition of the wheels or
wheel chocks while the other is performing
the test.
• Be careful to prevent SST's hose from
interfering with the exhaust pipe.
• This test must be performed after checking
and adjusting the engine.
• Perform the test with the A/C OFF.
• When conducting the stall test, do not
continue for more than 10 seconds.
(1) Warm up the ATF (Automatic Transmission
Fluid).
(2) Lift the vehicle up.
(3) Remove the engine under cover.
(4) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(5) Remove the test plug A on the transaxle case
front left side and install SST.
SST 09992-00095 (09992-00231, 09992-
00271)
NOTICE:
There is a difference between the installation
point of the D position and R position.
(6) Start the engine.
(7) Using intelligent tester, shift to D position and
hold 3rd gear by active test, and measure the
line pressure in idling.
Specified line pressure:
(8) Turn the ignition switch off.
(9) Disconnect the connector of the transmission
wire.
HINT:
Disconnect the connector only when performing
the position stall test.
(10)Start the engine.
(11)Firmly depress the brake pedal, shift to the D
position, depress the accelerator pedal all the
way down and check the line pressure while the
stall test is performed.

ROAD TEST
1. PROBLEM SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION
(a) Based on the result of the customer problem
analysis, try to reproduce the symptoms. If the
problem is that the transaxle does not shift up, shift
down, or the shift point is too high or too low,
conduct the following road test referring to the
automatic shift schedule and simulate the problem
symptoms.
2. ROAD TEST
NOTICE:
Perform the test at the normal operating ATF
temperature of 50 to 80
C (122 to 176F).
(a) D position test:
Move the shift lever to D and fully depress the
accelerator pedal. Check the following:
(1) Check up-shift operation.
Check that the 1
2, 2 3, 3 4 and 4 5th
up-shifts take place at the shift point shown in
the automatic shift schedule (see page SS-49).
HINT:
5th Gear Up-shift Prohibition Control
• Engine coolant temperature is 55
C (131F)
or less and vehicle speed is at 80 km/h (50
mph) or less.
• ATF temperature is -2
C (28F) or less.
4th Gear Up-shift Prohibition Control
• Engine coolant temperature is 47
C (117F)
or less and vehicle speed is at 55 km/h (34
mph) or less.
5th and 4th Gear Lock-up Prohibition Control
• Brake pedal is depressed.
• Accelerator pedal is released.
• Engine coolant temperature is 60
C (140F)
or less.
(2) Check for shift shock and slip.
Check for shock and slip at the 1
2, 2 3, 3
4 and 4 5th up-shifts.
(3) Check for abnormal noise and vibration.
Check for abnormal noise and vibration when
up-shifting from 1
2, 2 3, 3 4 and 4
5th while driving with the shift lever on D, and
check while driving in the lock-up condition.
HINT:
The check for the cause of abnormal noise and
vibration must be done thoroughly as it could
also be due to loss of balance in the differential,
torque converter clutch, etc.

U151F AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE – AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEMAX–17
AX
(3) Check for abnormal noise during acceleration
and deceleration, and for shock at up-shift and
down-shift.
(d) 2 position test:
Move the shift lever to 2 and fully depress the
accelerator pedal. Check the following:
(1) Check up-shift operation.
Check that the 1
2 up-shifts take place and
that the shift point conforms to the automatic
shift schedule (see page SS-49).
HINT:
There is no 3rd up-shift and lock-up when the
shift lever is on 2.
(2) Check engine braking.
While driving the vehicle in the 2nd gear with the
shift lever on 2, release the accelerator pedal
and check the engine braking effect.
(3) Check for abnormal noise during acceleration
and deceleration, and for shock at up-shift and
down-shift.
(e) L position test:
Move the shift lever to L and fully depress the
accelerator pedal. Check the following:
(1) Check no up-shift.
While driving the vehicle with the shift lever on L,
check that there is no up-shift to 2nd gear.
HINT:
There is no lock-up in L.
(2) Check engine braking.
While driving the vehicle with the shift lever on L,
release the accelerator pedal and check the
engine braking effect.
(3) Check for abnormal noises during acceleration
and deceleration.
(f) R position test:
Move the shift lever to R and lightly depress the
accelerator pedal. Check that the vehicle moves
backward without any abnormal noise or vibration.
CAUTION:
Before conducting this test, ensure that no
people or obstacles are in the test area.
(g) P position test:
Stop the vehicle on an incline (more than 5
). Then
move the shift lever to P and release the parking
brake. Check that the parking lock pawl holds the
vehicle in place.
(h) Uphill/downhill control function test:
(1) Check that the gear does not up-shift to the 4th
or 5th gear while the vehicle is driving uphill.
(2) Check that the gear automatically down-shifts
from 5
4 or from 4 3 when the brake is
applied while the vehicle is driving downhill.
