Stall Test

The stall test allows you to check the transmission for
internal abrasion and the one way clutch for slippage.
Torque converter performance can also be evaluated.
The stall test results together with the road test results will
identify transmission components requiring servicing or
adjustment.

Stall Test Procedure:

1. Check the level of the engine coolant, the engine oil,

and the automatic transmission fluid. Replenish if
necessary.

2. Block the wheels and set the parking brake.
3. Connect a tachometer to the engine.
4. Start the engine and allow it to idle until the engine

coolant temperature reaches 70 – 80

°

C (158 –

176

°

F).

5. Hold the brake pedal down as far as it will go.
6. Place the selector in the “D” range.
7. Gradually push the accelerator pedal to the floor.

The throttle valve will be fully open.
Note the engine speed at which the tachometer
needle stabilizes.

Stall Speed : 2,100 

±

150 rpm

NOTE: Do not continuously run this test longer than 5
seconds.

8. Release the accelerator pedal.
9. Place the selector in the “N” range.

10. Run the engine at 1,200 rpm for one minute.

This will cool the transmission fluid.

11. Repeat Steps 7 – 10 for the “3”, “2”, “L” and “R”

ranges.

Line Pressure Test

The line pressure test checks oil pump and control valve
pressure regulator valve function. It will also detect oil
leakage.

Line Pressure Test Procedure:

1. Check the level of the engine coolant, the engine oil,

and the automatic transmission fluid.
Replenish if required.

2. Block the wheels and set the parking brake.
3. Remove the pressure detection plug at the left side of

the transmission case.
Set J–29770–A pressure gauge and adapter to the
pressure detection plug hole.

241RS001

4. Start the engine and allow it to idle until the engine

coolant temperature reaches 70 – 80

°

C (158 –

176

°

F).

5. Hold the brake pedal down as far as it will go.
6. Place the selector in the “D” range.
7. Note the pressure gauge reading with the engine

idling.

8. Gradually push the accelerator pedal to the floor. The

throttle valve will be fully open.
Note the pressure gauge reading with the accelerator
pedal fully depressed.

NOTE: Do not continuously run this test longer than 5
seconds.

9. Release the accelerator pedal.

10. Place the selector in the “N” range.

11. Run the engine at 1,200 rpm for one minute.

This will cool the transmission fluid.

12. Repeat Steps 7 – 11 for the “3”, “2”, “L”, and “R”

ranges.

13. Install a pressure detection plug to the transmission

case, applying recommended thread locking agent
(LOCTITE 242) or its equivalent to thread of plug.
Make sure that thread is cleaned before applying
locking agents.

14. Tighten the pressure detection plug to the specified

torque.
