Cruise Test - Part 2NCS001KB
1. CHECK STARTING FROM D1
1. Move selector lever to “D” position.
2. Accelerate at half throttle.
With CONSULT-II
Read the gear position. Refer to AT- 9 6 , "
DATA MONITOR MODE" .
Does it start from D1?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Enter a check mark at AT- 1 9 9 , "
Vehicle Cannot Be Started from D1" on the AT- 4 8 , "DIAGNOSTIC
WORKSHEET" , then continue the road test.
2. CHECK SHIFT-UP D1 → D2
Press the accelerator pedal down all the way and inspect whether or not the A/T shifts up (D1 → D2) at the
correct speed. Refer to AT- 6 3 , "
Vehicle Speed at Which Gear Shifting Occurs" .
With CONSULT-II
Read the gear position, throttle position and vehicle speed. Refer to AT- 9 6 , "
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 1 , "
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 inspect whether or not the A/T shifts up (D2 → D3) at the
correct speed. Refer to AT- 6 3 , "
Vehicle Speed at Which Gear Shifting Occurs" .
With CONSULT-II
Read the gear position, throttle position and vehicle speed. Refer to AT- 9 6 , "
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 3 , "
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 6 , "
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 5 , "
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 3NCS001KC
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 3 , "
Cannot Be Changed to Manual Mode" on AT-
48, "DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET" .
AT-62
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
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 6 , "
DATA MONITOR MODE" .
Is downshifting correctly performed?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Enter a check mark at “A/T 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 3 ,
"Diagnostic Procedure without CONSULT-II" .
NO >> Enter a check mark at AT- 2 2 0 , "
Vehicle Does Not Decelerate by Engine Brake" on the AT- 4 8 ,
"DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET" , then continue trouble diagnosis.
