Stall Test

STALL TEST
This test is to check overall performance of automatic transmission and engine by measuring stall speed at "D" and "R" ranges. Be sure to perform this test only when transmission fluid is at normal operating temperature and its level is between FULL and LOW marks.

CAUTION:
- Do not run engine at stall more than 5 seconds continuously, for fluid temperature may rise excessively high.
After performing stall test, be sure to leave engine running at idle for longer than 30 seconds before another stall test.

1. Apply parking brake and block wheels.
2. Connect SUZUKI scan tool or OBD-II generic scan tool to data link connector to check engine speed.
3. Start engine with select lever shifted to "P".
4. Depress brake pedal fully.
5. Shift select lever to "D" and depress accelerator pedal fully while watching engine speed displayed on scan tool. Read engine rpm quickly when it has become constant (stall speed).
6. Release accelerator pedal immediately after stall speed is checked.
7. In the same way, check stall speed in "R" range.





8. Stall speed should be within the following specification.
Stall speed: 2,280 - 2,610 r/min
