Road Test

ROAD TEST [SJ6A-EL]

Warning:
^ When performing a road test, be aware of other vehicles, people, impediments 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. (See ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL INSPECTION [LF].)
2. Inspect the engine oil level. (See ENGINE OIL LEVEL INSPECTION [LF].)
3. Inspect the ATF level. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID (ATF) INSPECTION [SJ6A-EL].) Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) Inspection
4. Inspect the idle speed. (See ENGINE TUNE-UP (LF].)
5. Inspect the ignition timing. (See ENGINE TUNE-UP [LF].)
6. Wait until the engine and transmission reach normal operating temperature.

D range (normal mode)





D Range Test
1. Perform road test preparation. (See Road Test Preparation.)
2. Shift the selector lever to the D range.
3. Accelerate with the throttle half and then wide open.
4. Verify that 1 --> 2, 2 --> 3, 3 --> 4, 4 --> 5, and 5 -->6 upshifts can be obtained. The shift points must be as shown in the table below.
^ If there is any malfunction, inspect the TCM and AT. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [SJ6A-EL].) Symptom Troubleshooting Item Table
5. Drive the vehicle in 6GR, 5GR, 4GR, 3GR, 2GR and verify that kickdown occurs for 6 --> 5, 5 --> 4, 4 --> 3, 3 --> 2, and 2 --> 1 downshifts, and that the shift points are as shown in the table below.
^ If there is any malfunction, inspect the TCM and AT. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [SJ6A-EL].) Symptom Troubleshooting Item Table
6. Decelerate the vehicle and verify that engine braking effect is felt in 4GR, 5GR, and 6GR.
^ If there is any malfunction, inspect the TCM and AT. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [SJ6A-EL].) Symptom Troubleshooting Item Table
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 AT. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [SJ6A-EL].) Symptom Troubleshooting Item Table

M Range Test
1. Perform road test preparation. (See Road Test Preparation.)
2. Shift the selector lever 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 --> 1 downshifts are obtained by manual shifting.
^ If there is any malfunction, inspect the TCM and AT. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [SJ6A-EL].) Symptom Troubleshooting Item Table
4. Decelerate the vehicle and verify that 6 --> 5, 5 --> 4, 4 --> 3, 3 --> 2, and 2 --> 1 downshifts are obtained. The shift points must be as shown in the table below.
^ If there is any malfunction, inspect the TCM and AT. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [SJ6A-EL].) Symptom Troubleshooting Item Table
5. Decelerate the vehicle and verify that engine braking effect is felt in 1GR, 2GR, 3GR, 4GR, 5GR, and 6GR.
^ If there is any malfunction, inspect the TCM and AT. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [SJ6A-EL].) Symptom Troubleshooting Item Table
6. Drive the vehicle and verify that TCC operation is obtained in 5GR and 6GR. The operation points must be as shown in the table below.
^ If there is any malfunction, inspect the TCM and AT. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [SJ6A-EL].) Symptom Troubleshooting Item Table
7. Drive the vehicle in 6GR, 5GR, 4GR, and 3GR and verify that kickdown occurs for 6 --> 5, 5 --> 4, 4 --> 3 and 3 --> 2 downshifts, and that the shift points are as shown in the table below.
^ If there is any malfunction, inspect the TCM and AT. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [SJ6A-EL].) Symptom Troubleshooting Item Table

P Position Test
1. Shift into the P position on a gentle slope. Release the brake, and verify that the vehicle does not roll.
^ If there is any malfunction, inspect the AT. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [SJ6A-EL].) Symptom Troubleshooting Item Table
