MECHANICAL SYSTEM TESTS
1. PERFORM MECHANICAL SYSTEM TESTS
(a) Measure the stall speed.
The object of this test is to check the overall
performance of the transaxle and engine by
measuring the stall speeds in the D position.
NOTICE:
• Driving test should be done on a paved road
(a nonskid road).
• Perform the test at the normal operating ATF
(Automatic Transmission Fluid) temperature
50 to 80
C (122 to 176F).
• Do not continuously run this test for longer
than 10 seconds.
• To ensure safety, do this test in a wide, clear
level area which provides good traction.
• The stall test should always be carried out in
pairs. One technician should observe the
conditions of wheels or wheel stoppers
outside the vehicle while the other is doing
the test.
(1) Chock the 4 wheels.
(2) Connect the intelligent tester together with the
CAN VIM (controller area network vehicle
interface module) to the DLC3.
(3) Fully apply the parking brake.
(4) Keep your left foot pressed firmly on the brake
pedal.
(5) Start the engine.
(6) Shift into the D position. Press all the way down
on the accelerator pedal with your right foot.
(7) Quickly read the stall speed at this time.
Stall speed:
2,600 +- 150 rpm
Evaluation:
Problem Possible cause
(a) Stall engine speed is low in D position• Engine power output may be insufficient
• Stator one-way clutch not operating properly
HINT:
If the value is less than the specified value by 600 rpm or more, the
torque converter could be faulty.
(b) Stall engine speed is high in D position• Line pressure is too low
• Forward clutch slipping
• U/D (Underdrive) brake slipping
• U/D (Underdrive) one-way clutch is not operating properly
• No.1 one-way clutch not operating properly
• Improper fluid level
