MANUAL ROAD TEST
This test checks the gears being used in L, 2 or D range when driven
with unoperated gear shift control system.
Test drive vehicle on a level road.
1) With selector lever in P range, start engine and warm it up.
2) After warming up engine, disconnect coupler of solenoid valve
wire as shown in left figure.
3) With selector lever in L range, start vehicle and accelerate to
30 km / h (19 mile / h). Check in this state that 1st gear is being
used.
4) At 30 km / h (19 mile / h), shift selector lever to 2 range and accel-
erate to 60 km / h (37 mile / h).
Check in this state that 2nd gear is being used.
5) At 60 km / h (37 mile / h), shift selector lever to D range and check
that 3rd gear is used when speed is higher than 60 km / h
(37 mile / h).
6) After above checks, stop vehicle then engine, and connect sole-
noid valve wire coupler.
ENGINE BRAKE TEST
WARNING:
Before test, make sure that there is no vehicle behind so as
to prevent rear-end collision.
1) While driving vehicle in 3rd gear of D range, shift selector lever
down to 2 range and check if engine brake operates.
2) In the same way as in step 1), check engine brake for operation
when selector lever is shifted down to L range.
3) If engine brake fails to operate in above tests, possible cause for
such failure are as follows.
Check each part which is suspected to be the cause.
