D Range Test
NOTES:- A road test is necessary to inspect for problems in the different gear ranges. If a range or function targeted by the road test is found to have any problem, refer to the appropriate component or system.
- Do the road test only when the ATF is 66 - 77°C (150 - 170°F).
- The power mode and the normal mode are automatically selected by the Powertrain control module.
D RANGE (EXCEPT O/D OFF MODE)
1. Shift the selector lever to D range.
2. Accelerate the vehicle with half and wide open throttle.
3. Verify that 1->2, 2->3, and 3->4 upshifts and downshifts are obtained. The shift points must be as shown in the D range shift diagram.
4. Drive the vehicle in Fourth, Third, and Second gears and verify that kickdown occurs for 4->3, 4->2, 4->3, 3->2, 3->1, 2->1, and that the shift points are as shown in the D range shift diagram.
5. Decelerate the vehicle and verify that engine braking effect is felt in Fourth and Third gears.
6. Drive the vehicle and verify that torque converter clutch operation is obtained. (only for normal mode)
D RANGE (O/D OFF MODE)
1. Shift the selector lever to D range, and select the O/D OFF mode.
2. Accelerate the vehicle with half and wide open throttle.
3. Verify that 1->2 and 2->3 upshifts and downshifts are obtained. The shift points must be as shown in the D range O/D OFF shift diagram.
4. Drive the vehicle in Third and Second gears and verify that kickdown occurs for 3->2, 3->1, 2->1, and that the shift points are as shown in the D range O/D OFF shift diagram.
5. Decelerate the vehicle and verify that engine braking effect is felt in Third gear.
6. Drive the vehicle and verify that torque converter clutch operation is obtained. (only for normal mode)
