Inspections Before Trouble DiagnosisECS00CEE
A/T FLUID CHECK
Fluid Leakage and Fluid Level Check

Inspect for fluid leakage and check the fluid level. Refer to AT- 1 2 , "Changing Automatic Transmission
Fluid (ATF)" .
Fluid Condition Check
Inspect the fluid condition.
STALL TEST
Stall Test Procedure
1. Inspect the amount of engine oil. Replenish the engine oil if necessary.
2. Drive for about 10 minutes to warm up the vehicle so that the A/
T fluid temperature is 50 to 80 °C (122 to 176 °F). Inspect the
amount of ATF. Replenish if necessary.
3. Securely engage the parking brake so that the tires do not turn.
4. Engine start, apply foot brake, and place selector lever in “D”
position.
5. While holding down the foot brake, gradually press down the accelerator pedal.
6. Quickly read off the stall speed, then quickly remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.
CAUTION:
Do not hold down the accelerator pedal for more than 5 sec-
onds during this test.
7. Move the selector lever to the “N” position.
Fluid condition Conceivable Cause Required Operation

main unit and the vehicle for mal-
functions (wire harnesses, cooler
pipes, etc.)
