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, and 3 -> 4 upshifts and downshifts are obtained. The shift points must be as shown in the table below.
^ If there is any malfunction, inspect the PCM and ATX (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [FN4A-EL].) Symptom Troubleshooting Item Table [FN4A-El]
5. Drive the vehicle in 4GR, 3GR, and 2GR and verify that kickdown occurs for 4 -> 3, 3 -> 2, 2 -> 1 downshifts, and that the shift points are as shown in the table below.
^ If there is any malfunction, inspect the PCM and ATX (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [FN4A-EL].) Symptom Troubleshooting Item Table [FN4A-El]
6. Decelerate the vehicle and verify that engine braking effect is felt in 2GR, 3GR and 4GR.
^ If there is any malfunction, inspect the PCM and ATX (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [FN4A-EL].) Symptom Troubleshooting Item Table [FN4A-El]
7. Drive the vehicle and verify that TCC operation is obtained. The operation points must be as shown in the table below.
^ If there is any malfunction, inspect the PCM and ATX (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [FN4AEL].) Symptom Troubleshooting Item Table [FN4A-El]
