ROAD TEST
NOTICE: Perform the test at normal operating fluid temperature (50 — 80°C or 122 — 176°F).
1. D RANGE TEST IN NORM AND PWR PATTERN RANGES
Shift into the D range and hold the accelerator pedal constant at the full throttle valve opening position.
Check the following:
(a) 1-2, 2-3 and 3.O/D up-shifts should take place, and shift points should conform to those shown in the automatic shift schedule.
Conduct a test under both Normal and Power patterns.
HINT:
• There is no O/D up-shift or lock-up when the coolant temp. is below 60°C (140°F) and speed is under 60 km/h (37 mph), or if there is a 10 km/h (6 mph) difference between the set cruise control speed.
• There is no 3rd up-shift or lock-up when coolant temp. is below 35°C (95°F) and speed is under 40 km/h (25 mph).
EVALUATION
(1) If there is no 1 → 2 up-shift:
• No. 2 solenoid is stuck
• 1-2 shift valve is stuck
(2) If there is no 2 → 3 up-shift:
• No. 1 solenoid is stuck
• 2-3 shift valve is stuck
(3) If there is no 3 → O/D up-shift:
• 3-4 shift valve is stuck
(4) If the shift point is defective:
• Throttle valve, 1-2 shift valve, 2-3 shift valve, 3-4 shift valve etc., are defective
(5) If the lock-up is defective:
• Lock-up solenoid is stuck
• Lock-up relay valve is stuck
(b) In the same manner, check the shock and slip at the 1 → 2, 2 → 3, and 3 → O/D up-shifts.
EVALUATION
If the shock is excessive:
• Line pressure is too high
• Accumulator is defective
• Check ball is defective
