Stall Test

Measurement of the engine stall speed in the D range determines whether or not the transmission belt and pulley system, electromagnetic powder clutch, engine, etc. function properly.

TEST METHOD

Before conducting a stall test, check to ensure the levels of engine oil, coolant and ATF are correct, and warm up the engine completely.

1. Install an engine tachometer in a place visible from the driver's compartment.
2. Chock the front and rear of all wheels and apply the parking brake.
3. Shift the selector lever to the D range.
4. While forcefully depressing the brake pedal with one foot, slowly depress the accelerator pedal to the full-throttle position with the other.
5. When the engine reaches constant speed, immediately read that speed (stall rpm) within five seconds.
6. Shift the selector lever to the N range, and idle the engine for at least one minute to cool down.
7. Record the measured stall speed: 2000 - 2600 rpm
