ROAD TEST
DescriptionINFOID:0000000005148728
ROAD TEST
• The road test inspects overall performance of the A/T and analyzes possible malfunction causes.
• The road test is carried out in the following three stages.
1. Check before engine is started. Refer to TM-159
.
2. Check at idle. Refer to TM-159
.
3. Cruise test • Inspect all the items from Part 1 to Part 3. Refer to TM-160
, TM-162, TM-162.
• Before beginning the road test, check the test procedure and inspection items.
• Test all inspection items until the symptom is uncov ered. Diagnose NG items when all road tests are com-
plete.

OIL PAN
OIL PAN
Oil PanINFOID:0000000005148740
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Removal
1. Drain A/T fluid. Refer to TM-150, "Changing the A/T Fluid (ATF)".
2. Remove oil pan clips (1).
3. Remove oil pan (2).
4. Remove oil pan gasket. • : Vehicle front
• : Oil pan bolts
• Drain plug (3)
5. Check foreign materials in oil pan to help determine c ause of malfunction. If the A/T fluid is very dark, has
some burned smell, or contains foreign particles, friction material (clutches, band) may need replacement.
A tacky film that will not wipe clean indicates varnish build up. Varnish can cause valves, servo, and
clutches to stick and can inhibit pump pressure.
CAUTION:
If friction material is detected, flush the transmission cooler after repair. Refer to TM-152, "
A/T
Fluid Cooler Cleaning".
6. Remove magnets from oil pan.
Installation
1. Install the oil pan magnets as shown.

• Do not reuse the oil pan gasket.
• Always replace the oil pan bolts as they are self-sealing.
• Partially install the oil pan bo lts in a criss-cross pattern to prevent dislocation of the gasket.
3. Install new oil pan bolts and clips tighten in numerical order as shown.
4. Install drain plug with new gasket to oil pan and tighten to speci- fication.
CAUTION:
