Maximum chain elongation: 52.4 Mm (2.063 In.)

If the chain elongation is greater than the maximum, replace the no. 2 Chain sub-assembly.

Hint:

Take the measurements at 3 or more places selected at random.

  1. Inspect chain tensioner slipper

  1. Using a vernier caliper, measure the tensioner slipper wear.

Maximum wear: 1.0 Mm (0.039 In.)

Shift solenoid "d" performance (shift solenoid valve s4)
System description The ecm uses signals from the output shaft speed sensor and input speed sensor to detect the actual gear position (1st, 2nd, 3rd or o/d gear). Then the ecm compares the actual gear with the shift schedule in the ecm memory to detect mechanical problems of the shift s ...
