7C TROUBLESHOOTING
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.
