TROUBLESHOOTING (G4A-HL) 7B 
1 Range Test 
Shift pattern 
1. Shift the selector lever to 1 range. 
2. Accelerate the vehicle with half (4/8) and full (8/8) throttle valve opening. 
3. Check that the 1-2 up- and down-shifts are obtained and that no 3rd gear, no OD, and no lock-up 
are obtained. The shift points must be as shown in the 1 range shift diagram. 
Note 
Vehicle speed on a chassis roller may not meet the specified shift diagram because of tire 
size. 
4. Check the up and down-shifts for shift shock or slippage. 
5. Drive in 1st gear then decelerate and check that engine braking effect is felt.

Noise and vibration 
Drive the vehicle in 1st gear and check for abnormal noise or vibration. 
Note 
Abnormal noise and vibration can also be caused by the torque converter, drive shaft or 
differential. Therefore, checking of cause must be made with extreme care. 
P Range Test 
1. Shift into P range on a gentle slope, release the brake and check that the vehicle does not roll. 
2. Shift into P range while driving the vehicle at maximum of 4 km/h (2.5 mph) on a level surface, 
and check that the vehicle stops.

nents and for oil leakage.
