Stall Speed Test

Use the stall speed test in order to check the overall
performance of the transmission and the engine.
The test Measures the maximum engine speeds in the
forward and reverse ranges.

Notice: This test should always be performed at a
normal operating fluid temperature of 70 to 80°C
(158 to 176°F). DO NOT run engine at stall speed for
more than five seconds continuously. If this
precaution is not observed, engine oil and transaxle fluid temperatures may rise excessively high.

1. Inspect the transmission fluid level. The level
should be between the full Hot and Low Hot ranges on the
fluid level indicator.

2. Apply the parking brake and block the vehicle wheels.

3. Turn the ignition switch to the On position.

4. Press the brake pedal fully.

5. Ensure that the manual selector level is in the Park
(P) position.

6. Start the engine.

7. Move the Manual selector lever to the Reverse (R)
position.

8. Press the accelerator pedal fully at Wide Open
Throttle (WOT). While watching the tachometer, quickly
read and record the engine speed (RPM) after the speed
becomes constant (stall speed).

9. Release the accelerator pedal immediately after you
have recorded the stall speed.

10. Return the selector lever to Park (P) position and
turn the ignition switch to LOCK.

Evaluation

The stall speed should fall within 2300-2600 RPM in all
tested gear Positions.
