ROAD TEST [AW6A-EL]

Warning:
^ When performing a road test, be aware of other vehicles, people, and other impediments to order to avoid an accident.

Note:
^ When the legal speed limit must be exceeded, use a chassis dynamometer instead of performing a road test.

Road Test Preparation
1. Inspect the engine coolant level.
2. Inspect the engine oil level.
3. Inspect the ATF level.
4. Inspect the idle speed.
5. Inspect the ignition timing.
6. Bring up the engine and transaxle to normal operating temperature.

Shift Diagram





D range (normal mode)

D Range Test
1. Perform road test preparation.
2. Shift the selector lever to D range.
3. Accelerate with the depressing amount of accelerator pedal half and then fully depress.
4. Verify that 1 -> 2, 2 -> 3, 3 -> 4, 4 -> 5, and 5 -> 6 upshifts and downshifts are obtained. The shift points must be as shown in the table.
^ If there is any malfunction, inspect the TCM and ATX.

5. Drive the vehicle in 6GR, 5GR, 4GR, 3GR, and 2GR and verify that kickdown occurs for 6 -> 5, 5 -> 4, 4 -> 3, 3 -> 2, 2 -> 0 downshifts, and that the shift points are as shown in the table.
^ If there is any malfunction, inspect the TCM and ATX.

6. Drive the vehicle and verify that TCC operation is obtained. The operation points must be as shown in the table.
^ If there is any malfunction, inspect the TCM and ATX.

M Range Test
1. Perform road test preparation.
2. Shift the selector [ever to M range.
3. Verify that 1 -> 2, 2 -> 3, 3 -> 4, 4 -> 5 and 5 -> 6 upshifts; and 6 -> 5, 5 -> 4, 4 -> 3, 3 -> 2, and 2 -> 0 downshifts are obtained by manual shifting of the selector lever forward and back.
^ If there is any malfunction, inspect the TCM and ATX.

4. Decelerate the vehicle and verify that 6 -> 5, 5 -> 4, 4 -> 3, 3 -> 1 downshifts are obtained. The shift points must be as shown in the table.
^ If there is any malfunction, inspect the TCM and ATX.

5. Decelerate the vehicle and verify that engine braking effect is felt in 1GR.
^ If there is any malfunction, inspect the TCM and ATX.

6. Drive the vehicle and verify that TCC operation is obtained in 4GR, 5GR and 6GR. The operation points must be as shown in the table.
^ If there is any malfunction, inspect the TCM and ATX.

7. Drive the vehicle in 6GR, 5GR, 4GR and 3GR and verify that kickdown occurs for 6 -> 5, 5 -> 4, 4 -> 3, 3 -> 2 downshifts, and that the shift points are as shown in the table.
^ If there is any malfunction, inspect the TCM and ATX.
