Time Lag Test

NOTES:
- This test measures time lag as a means of checking the hydraulic components and the friction elements

- Perform the preparation procedure before continuing with this test.









PROCEDURE
1. Start the engine.
2. Shift from N position to D range.
3. Use a stopwatch to measure the time it takes from shifting until shock is felt.
4. Shift the selector to N position and run the engine at idle speed for at least one (1) minute.
5. Do the time lag test for the following shifts in the same manner. Take three measurements for each test and average the results.
6. Perform the test for the following shifts in the same manner. Time lag for N->D range should be below approximately 1.0 seconds and for N->R position should be below approximately 1.0 seconds.
a. N->D range
b. N->R position
