D Position Test

1. Perform "Road Test Preparation". (See Road Test Preparation.)

2. Warm-up the transaxle until the ATF temperature reaches 60-70 °C{140-158 °F}.

3. Shift the selector lever to the D position.

4. Perform the road test at the D position.

- If there is any malfunction, perform the "Symptom Troubleshooting".

a. Accelerate the vehicle by depressing the accelerator pedal, then verify that 1GR-2GR, 2GR-3GR, 3GR-4GR, and 4GR-5GR upshifts can be obtained. The shift points must be as shown in the table below.

b. Decelerate the vehicle in 5GR, then verify that 5GR-4GR, 4GR-3GR, 3GR-2GR and 2GR-1GR downshifts can be obtained. The shift points must be as shown in the table below.

c. Drive the vehicle in 5GR, 4GR, 3GR, and 2GR and verify that kickdown occurs for 5GR-4GR, 4GR-3GR, 3GR-2GR, 2GR-1GR downshifts, and that the shift points are as shown in the table below.

d. Decelerate the vehicle and verify that engine braking effect is felt in 5GR, 4GR, 3GR and 2GR.

e. Drive the vehicle and verify that TCC operation is obtained. The operation points must be as shown in the table below.

M Position Test

1. Perform "Road Test Preparation". (See Road Test Preparation.)

2. Warm-up the transaxle until the ATF temperature reaches 60-70 °C{140-158 °F}.

3. Shift the selector lever to the M position.

4. Perform the road test at the M position.

- If there is any malfunction, perform the "Symptom Troubleshooting".

a. Verify that upshifts and downshifts are obtained by manual shifting of the selector lever forward and back.

b. Decelerate the vehicle in 5GR, then verify that 5GR-4GR, 4GR-3GR, 3GR-2GR and 2GR-1GR downshifts can be obtained. The shift points must be as shown in the table below.

c. Decelerate the vehicle and verify that engine braking effect is felt in all gear position.

d. Drive the vehicle and verify that TCC operation is obtained in 4GR and 5GR.

P Position Test

1. Shift the selector lever to the P position on a gentle slope.

2. Release the brake and verify that the vehicle does not roll.

- If the vehicle rolls, inspect the parking mechanism in the transaxle.
