Notice:
Perform the test at the normal operating atf temperature of 50 to 80°c (122 to 176°f).
Move the shift lever to d and fully depress the accelerator pedal. Check the following:
Check that the 1 →2, 2→3 and 3 → o/d upshifts take place at the shift point shown in the automatic shift schedule (see page ss-55).
Hint:
O/d gear up-shift prohibition control
O/d gear lock-up prohibition control
Check for shock and slip at the 1 → 2, 2 → 3 and 3 →o/d up-shifts.
Check for abnormal noise and vibration when up-shifting from 1 →2, 2 → 3 and 3 →o/d while driving with the shift lever on d, and check while driving in the lock-up condition.
Hint:
The check for the cause of abnormal noise and vibration must be done thoroughly as it could also be due to loss of balance in the differential, torque converter clutch, etc.
While driving the vehicle in the 2nd, 3rd and o/d gears with the shift lever on d, check that the possible kick-down vehicle speed limits for 2 → 1, 3 → 2 and o/d → 3 kick-downs conform to those indicated in the automatic shift schedule (see page ss-55).
Hint:
Move the shift lever to 3 and fully depress the accelerator pedal. Check the following:
Check that the 1 → 2 and 2→ 3 up-shifts take place and that the shift point conforms to the automatic shift schedule (see page ss-55).
While driving the vehicle in the 3rd gear with the shift lever on 3, release the accelerator pedal and check the engine braking effect.
Move the shift lever to 2 and fully depress the accelerator pedal. Check the following:
Check that the 1 → 2 up-shift takes place and that the shift point conforms to the automatic shift schedule (see page ss-55).
Hint:
There is no o/d up-shift and lock-up when the shift lever is on 2.
While driving the vehicle in the 2nd gear with the shift lever on 2, release the accelerator pedal and check the engine braking effect.
Move the shift lever to l and fully depress the accelerator pedal. Check the following:
While driving the vehicle with the shift lever on l, check that there is no up-shift to 2nd gear.
Hint:
There is no lock-up in l.
While driving the vehicle with the shift lever on l, release the accelerator pedal and check the engine braking effect.
Move the shift lever to r and lightly depress the accelerator pedal. Check that the vehicle moves backward without any abnormal noise or vibration.
Caution:
Before conducting this test, ensure that no people or obstacles are in the test area.
Stop the vehicle on an incline (more than 5°). Then move the shift lever to p and release the parking brake. Check that the parking lock pawl holds the vehicle in place.
