Road Test

ROAD TEST
This test is to check if upshift and downshift take place at specified speeds while actually driving vehicle on a level road.

WARNING:
^ Carry out the test in very little traffic area to prevent an accident.
^ The test requiers two persons, a driver and a tester.

1. Warm up engine.
2. With engine running at idle, shift selector lever to D.
a. Accelerate vehicle speed by depressing accelerator pedal very little (within 4° of throttle valve opening).
b. Check if upshift takes place from 1st to 2nd at about 18 km/h (11 mile/h) and from 2nd to 3rd at about 30 km/h (19 mile/h).
c. Stop vehicle once. Then start it again and while accelerating by depressing accelerator pedal fully, check if upshift takes place from 1st to 2nd at 59 km/h (37 mile/h) and from 2nd to 3rd at 112 km/h (70 mile/h).
d. Stop vehicle again.
e. Start vehicle and keep it running at 25 km/h (15 mile/h) and then release accelerator pedal completely. 1 or 2 seconds later, depress accelerator pedal fully and check if downshift from 2nd to 1st takes place.
g. Keep vehicle running at 75 km/h (47 miles/h) and in the same way as in step (a), check if downshift from 3rd to 2nd takes place.





h. If upshift or downshift fails to take place at each specified speed in the road test, possible causes for such failure are indicated in the above image. Check each part which is suspected to be the cause.
