A/T Fluid Condition Check
Inspect the A/T 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). Check the
amount of ATF. Replenish if necessary.
3. Securely engage the parking brake so that the tires do not turn.
4. Start engine, 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.
8. Cool down the ATF. CAUTION:
Run the engine at idle for at least 1 minute.

Line Pressure Test Procedure
1. Inspect the amount of engine oil and replenish if necessary.
2. Drive the car for about 10 minutes to warm it up so that the ATF reaches in range of 50 to 80°C (122 to
176 °F), then inspect the amount of ATF and replenish if necessary.
NOTE:
The A/T fluid temperature rises in range of 50 to 80°C (122 to 176 °F) during 10 minutes of driving.
3. Remove the front propeller shaft from vehicle (with AWD models). Refer to PR-4, "
Removal and Installa-
tion".
4. After warming up remove the oil pressure detection plug and install the oil pressure gauge [ST2505S001(J-34301-C)].
CAUTION:
When using the oil pressure ga uge, be sure to use the O-
ring attached to the oil pressure detection plug.

DESCRIPTION
 The road test checks 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.
2. Check at idle.
3. Cruise test
 Inspect all the items Part 1 to Part 3.
 Before beginning the road test, che ck the procedure and inspection items.
 Test all inspection items until the symptom is uncov ered. Diagnose NG items when all road tests are com-
plete.
CHECK BEFORE ENGINE IS STARTED
1.CHECK A/T CHECK INDICATOR LAMP
1. Park vehicle on level surface.
2. Move selector lever to “P” position.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
4. Turn ignition switch ON.
Does A/T CHECK indicator lamp light up for about 2 seconds?
YES - 1>> With CONSULT-III
1. Perform self-diagnostics and record all NG items on the “Diagnostic Worksheet Chart”.
2. Go to “CHECK AT IDLE”.
YES - 2>> Without CONSULT-III
1. Perform self-diagnostics and record all NG it ems on the “Diagnostic Worksheet Chart”. Refer
to AT-91, "
Diagnosis Procedure without CONSULT-III".
2. Go to “CHECK AT IDLE”.
NO >> Stop the road test and go to AT-170, "
A/T Check Indicator Lamp Does Not Come On".
CHECK AT IDLE
1.CHECK STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Park vehicle on level surface.
2. Move selector lever to “P” or “N” position.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF.
4. Start engine.

Stall speedLine pressure does
not rise higher than
the line pressure for
idle.
Possible causes include a sensor malfunction or malfunction in the pressure adjustment function.
For example
 Accelerator pedal position signal malfunction
 TCM breakdown
 Line pressure solenoid malfunction (shorting, sticking in ON state)
 Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
 Pilot valve sticking or pilot filter clogged
The pressure rises,
but does not enter
the standard posi-
tion. Possible causes include malfunctions in the pressure supply system and malfunction in the pres-
sure adjustment function.
For example
 Accelerator pedal position signal malfunction
 Line pressure solenoid malfunction (sticking, filter clog)
 Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
