Time Lag Test
6. Time Lag Test
A: INSPECTION
NOTE:
If the select lever is shifted while the engine is
idling, there will be a certain time elapse or lag be-
fore the shock can be felt. This is used for checking
the condition of the low clutch, reverse clutch, low &
reverse brake and one-way clutch.
Perform the test at normal operation fluid tem-
perature 70 — 80°C (158 — 176°F).
Be sure to allow a one minute interval between
tests.
Perform measurement for three times and take
the average value.
1) Fully apply the parking brake.
2) Start the engine.
Check the idling speed (A/C OFF).
3) Shift the select lever from “N” to “D” range.
Using a stop watch, measure the time it takes from
shifting the lever until the shock is felt.
Time lag: Less than 1.2 seconds
If “N” → “D” time lag is longer than specified:
Line pressure too low
Low clutch worn
One-way clutch not operating properly
D-ring worn
4) In the same manner, measure the time lag for
“N” → “R”.
Time lag: Less than 1.5 seconds
If “N” → “R” time lag is longer than specified:
Line pressure too low
Reverse clutch worn
Low & reverse brake worn
D-ring worn
