ROAD TEST [FS5A-EL]

Road Test Preparation
1. Inspect the engine coolant. (See COOLING SYSTEM SERVICE WARNINGS [L3].) (See ENGINE COOLANT PROTECTION INSPECTION [L3] In Cooling System.)
2. Inspect the engine oil. (See ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL INSPECTION [L3] In Engine.)
3. Inspect the ATF level. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID (ATF) INSPECTION [FS5A-EL].) Automatic Transmission/Transaxle [FS5A-El]
4. Inspect the idle speed. (See ENGINE TUNE-UP [L3] In Maintenance.)
5. Inspect the ignition timing. (See ENGINE TUNE-UP [L3] In Maintenance.)
6. Bring up the engine and transaxle to normal operating temperature.

D range (normal mode)





D Range Test
1. Perform road test preparation. (See ROAD TEST [FS5A-EL].) Road Test
2. Shift the selector lever to D range.
3. Accelerate the vehicle at half and wide open.
4. Verify that 1->2, 2->3, 3->4 and 4->5 upshifts and downshifts are obtained. The shift points must be as shown in the table below.
^ If there is any malfunction, inspect the TCM and ATX. (See TCM INSPECTION [FS5A-EL].) TCM Inspection
5. Drive the vehicle in 5GR, 4GR, 3GR, and 2GR and verify that kickdown occurs for 5->4, 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 TCM and ATX. (See TCM INSPECTION [FS5A-EL].) Automatic Transmission/Transaxle [FS5A-El]
6. Decelerate the vehicle and verify that engine braking effect is felt in 2GR, 3GR, 4GR and 5GR.
^ If there is any malfunction, inspect the TCM and ATX. (See TCM INSPECTION [FS5A-EL].) TCM Inspection
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 TCM and ATX. (See TCM INSPECTION [FS5A-EL].) TCM Inspection

M Range Test
1. Perform road test preparation.
2. Shift the selector lever to M range.
3. Verify that 1->2, 2->3, 3-4 and 4->5 upshifts and 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. (See TCM INSPECTION [FS5A-EL].) TCM Inspection
4. Decelerate the vehicle and verify that 5-4, 4-43 3-2, 2->1 and 3-0 downshifts are obtained. The shift points must be as shown in the table below.
^ If there is any malfunction, inspect the TCM and ATX. (See TCM INSPECTION TCM Inspection
5. Decelerate the vehicle and verify that engine braking effect is felt in all gears.
^ If there is any malfunction, inspect the TCM and ATX. ( TCM INSPECTION [FS5A-EL].) TCM Inspection
6. Drive the vehicle and verify that TCC operation is obtained in 4GR and 5GR. The operation points must be as shown in the table below.
^ If there is any malfunction, inspect the TCM and ATX. (See TCM INSPECTION [FS5A-EL].) TCM Inspection

Vehicle Speed At Shift Point Table:

P Position Test
1. Shift into P position on a gentle slope.
2. Release the brake and verify that the vehicle does not roll.
^ If the vehicle rolls, inspect the ATX.
