6. MECHANICAL SYSTEM TESTS
(a) Measure the stall speed.
The object of this test is to check the overall performance of the transaxle and engine by measuring
the stall speeds in the D and R positions.
NOTICE:
Do the test at normal operating fluid temperature 50 - 80 °C (122 - 176 °F).
Do not continuously run this test longer than 5 seconds.
To ensure safety, conduct this test in a wide, clear level area which provides good traction.
The stall test should always be carried out in pairs. One technician should observe the condi-
tions of wheels or wheel stoppers outside the vehicle while the other is doing the test.
(1) Chock the 4 wheels.
(2) Connect an OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester to DLC3.
(3) Fully apply the parking brake.
(4) Keep your left foot pressing firmly on the brake pedal.
(5) Start the engine.
(6) Shift into the D position. Press all the way down on the accelerator pedal with your right foot.
Quickly read the stall speed at this time.
Stall speed: 2,325 - 2,775 rpm
(7) Do the same test in R position.
Stall speed: 2,325 - 2,775 rpm
Evaluation:
ProblemPossible cause
(a) Stall speed low in D and R positions
