Road Test

  1. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on).
  2. Apply the parking brake, and block both rear wheels. Start the engine, then shift to the D position while pressing the brake pedal. Press the accelerator pedal, and release it suddenly. The engine should not stall.
  3. Connect the HDS to the DLC (A), and go to the A/T data list.

  4. Test-drive the vehicle on a flat road in the D position. Check for abnormal noise and clutch slippage. While driving, check that the shift points occur at the proper speeds by monitoring the accelerator pedal position sensor voltage with the HDS and comparing your shift point speeds and voltage to those in the table. (The accelerator pedal position sensor voltage represents the throttle opening.)
    UPSHIFT: D POSITION

    Accelerator pedal position sensor voltage: 1.02 V 
    1st -> 2nd 10-12 mph (16-19 km/h)
    2nd -> 3rd 21-23 mph (33-37 km/h)
    3rd -> 4th 33-36 mph (53-58 km/h)
    4th -> 5th 40-43 mph (65-70 km/h)
    Lock-up ON 47-50 mph (75-80 km/h)
    Accelerator pedal position sensor voltage: 2.58 V

    4th -> 5th 80-84 mph (128-135 km/h)
    Lock-up ON 101-105 mph (162-169 km/h)

    1st -> 2nd 38-41 mph (61-66 km/h)
    2nd -> 3rd 64-68 mph (103-109 km/h)
    3rd -> 4th 98-102 mph (157-164 km/h)
    DOWNSHIFT: D POSITION

    Accelerator pedal position sensor voltage: 1.02 V 
    Lock-up OFF 42-45 mph (68-73 km/h)
    5th -> 4th 35-37 mph (57-60 km/h)
    4th -> 3rd 17-19 mph (28-31 km/h)
    3rd -> 2nd 11-14 mph (18-22 km/h)
    2nd -> 1st 6-9 mph (10-14 km/h)
    Accelerator pedal position sensor voltage: 2.58 V 
    Lock-up OFF 81-90 mph (130-145 km/h)
    Fully-opened throttle Accelerator pedal position sensor voltage: 4.65 V 
    4th -> 3rd 87-89 mph (140-144 km/h)
    3rd -> 2nd 55-57 mph (88-92 km/h)
    2nd -> 1st 29-31 mph (46-50 km/h)
  5. Accelerate to about 35 mph (57 km/h) so the transmission is in 4th or 5th, then shift from the D position to the 2 position. The vehicle should immediately begin to slow down from engine braking.
  6. Shift to the 1 position, accelerate from a stop at full throttle, and check for abnormal noise and clutch slippage. Upshifts should not occur in this position.
  7. Shift to the 2 position, accelerate from a stop at full throttle, and check for abnormal noise and clutch slippage. Upshifts and downshifts should not occur in this position.
  8. Shift to the R position, accelerate from a stop at full throttle, and check for abnormal noise and clutch slippage.
  9. Test in P (Park) Position.

    Park the vehicle on a slope (about 16 °), apply the brake, and shift into the P position. Release the brake; the vehicle should not move.

    NOTE: Always use the brake to hold the vehicle, when stopped on an incline in gear. Depending on the grade of the incline, the vehicle could roll backwards if the brake is released.
