Stall Speed Test
STALL TEST:` The object of this test is to check the overall performance of the transaxle and engine measuring the stall speeds in the D and R positions.
NOTICE:
- Do the test at normal fluid operational temperature {5O - 8O°C (122 - 176°F)}.
- Do not continuously run this test longer than 5 seconds.
- To ensure safety, conduct this test in a wide, clear, level area which provides good traction.
- The stall test should always be carried out in pairs. One should observe the condition of wheels or wheel stoppers outside the vehicle while the other is doing the test.
MEASURE STALL SPEED:
- Chock the front and rear wheels.
- Connect a tachometer to the engine.
- Fully apply the parking brake.
- Keep your left foot pressed firmly on the brake pedal.
- Start the engine.
- Shift into the D position. Fully depress the accelerator pedal.
- Quickly read the stall speed at this time.
Stall speed: 2,650 ± 150 rpm
- Do the same test in R position.
EVALUATION:
^ If the stall speed is the same for both positions without the rear wheels rotating but lower than specified value:
- Engine output may be insufficient
- Stator one-way clutch is not operating properly
^ If the stall speed in D position is higher than specified:
- Line pressure too low
- Forward clutch slipping
- No.2 one-way clutch not operating properly
- Underdrive one-way clutch not operating properly
^ If the stall speed in R position is higher than specified:
- Line pressure too low
- Direct clutch slipping
- First and reverse brake slipping
- Underdrive brake slipping
^ If the stall speed in both R and D positions are higher than specified:
- Line pressure too low
- Improper fluid level
- Underdrive brake slipping
