Stall Test

STALL TEST





The object of this test is to check the overran performance of the transmission and engine by measuring the stall speeds in the D and R ranges.

CAUTION: During this test, make sure that no one stand in front of or behind vehicle.

1. Check transaxle fluid level. Fluid should be at normal operating temperature [70 - 80°C(158 - 176°C)]. Engine coolant should also be at normal operating temperature [80 - 90°C (176 - 194°C)].
2. Apply chocks to both rear wheels.
3. Attach an engine tachometer.
4. Apply the parking and service brakes fully.
5. Start the engine.
6. With the selector lever in the "D" position, depress the accelerator pedal fully to read maximum engine rpm. Do not hold the throttle wide open any longer than is necessary to obtain maximum engine rpm reading, and never longer than 5 seconds at a time. If more than one stall test is required, operate the engine at approximately 1,000 rpm in neutral for minutes to cool the transaxle fluid between tests.
7. Place the selector lever in the "R" position and perform the stall test by the same procedure as previously described.
