TCM
Fail-safe
INFOID:0000000009464219
TCM has a fail-safe mode. The mode functions so that operation can be continued even if the signal circuit of
the main electronically contro lled input/output parts is damaged.
If the vehicle shows following behaviors including “poor acceleration”, a malfunction of the applicable system
is detected by TCM and the vehicle may be in a fail-sa fe mode. At this time, check the DTC code and perform
inspection and repair according to the malfunction diagnosis procedures.

STALL TEST
STALL TEST
Work ProcedureINFOID:0000000009464233
INSPECTION
1. Check the engine oil level. Replenish if necessary. Refer to
LU-25, "Inspection".
2. Check for leak of the CVT fluid. Refer to TM-377, "Inspection"
.
3. Drive for about 10 minutes to warm up the vehicle so that the CVT fluid temperature is 50 to 80°C (122 to
176 °F).
4. Be sure to apply the parking brake and block the tires.
5. Start the engine, depress the brake pedal and sh ift the selector lever to “D” position.
6. While depressing the brake pedal, depress the accelerator pedal gradually.
7. Read the stall speed quickly and release your foot from the accelerator pedal quickly. CAUTION:
Do not depress the accelerator pedal for 5 seconds or more during the test.
8. Shift the selector lever to “N” position.
9. Cool the CVT fluid. CAUTION:
Run the engine with the idle speed for at least 1 minute.
10. Put the selector lever to the R position and perform Step 6 to Step 9 again.
NARROWING-DOWN MALFUNCTIONING PARTS
