7C TROUBLESHOOTING
STEP 2 (STALL TEST)
This step is performed to determine if there is slippage of the friction elements or malfunction of the
hydraulic components.
Preparation
Check the following items prior to testing:
1. Engine coolant, engine oil and ATF levels.
2. Warm the engine thoroughly to raise the ATF temperature to operating level (50—80°C, 122—176°F).
3. Set the parking brake and block the front and rear of the wheels.

TROUBLESHOOTING 7C
Procedure
76G07C-025
1. Connect a tachometer to the engine.
2. Shift the selector lever to D range.
3. Depress the brake pedal firmly with the left foot, and gradually depress the accelerator pedal with
the right foot.
4. Read and note the engine speed as soon as it becomes constant; then release the accelerator pedal.
Caution
Steps 3 to 4 must be done within 5 seconds.
5. Shift the selector to N range and let the engine idle for one minute or more.
Note The idling cools the ATF and prevents oil degeneration.
6. Perform stall tests for the following ranges in the same manner.
(1) 2 range
(2) 1 range
(3) R range
Standard stall speed:
FE engine 2050—2150 rpm
F6 engine 1800—2050 rpm
Caution
Always provide adequate cooling time between individual range stall tests.

TROUBLESHOOTING 7C
STEP 3 (TIME LAG TEST)
When the selector lever is shifted while the engine is idling, there is a certain time lapse, or time lag,
before shock is felt. This time lag test checks the condition of the front, rear, and one-way clutch, low
and reverse brake, and orifice check valve.
Preparation
Follow the test preparation procedure shown in STEP 2 (STALL TEST).
Procedure
1. Start the engine and verify that the idle speed is 950tso rpm.
2. Shift from N range to D range
3. Measure the time it takes from shifting until shock is felt with a stop watch.
4. Shift the selector to N range and run the engine at idle for one minute or more.
5. Perform the test for N range to R range in the same manner.
Note
Make three measurements for each test and take the average value.
Specified time lag: N D range 0.5—1.0 second
N R range 0.5—1.0 second

STEP 4 (ROAD TEST)
This step is performed to check for problems in the various ranges. If these tests show any problems,
adjust or replace by referring to the QUICK DIAGNOSIS CHART and mechanical sections.
Caution
Perform the test at normal ATF operating temperature (50—80°C, 122—176°F).
Gearshift Function Check Items
1. Shift shock must be minimal, and shifting must be smooth.
2. Engine speed must not run away, and the shifting must not be delayed.
3. Transaxle must shift through Di D2 -»• D3 in D range.
4. Transaxle must shift from 3rd in D range to 2nd gear when 2 range is selected.
5. Transaxle must shift from 2nd to 1st when 1 range is selected from 3rd gear in D range.
6. Transaxle must not upshift in 1 range.
7. Transaxle must remain in 2nd gear in 2 range.
8. Transaxle must positively lock in P range.
The transaxle must positively lock when P range is selected while moving at a speed below 4 km/h
(2.5 mph) on level ground. The transaxle must positively lock when set in P range with the vehicle
on a gentle slope and the brakes disengaged.
