ROAD TEST [FN4A-EL]
BME051701030202
-
Warning
-
• When performing a road test, be aware of other vehicles, people, obstruction to avoid an accident.
-
Note
-
• If the speed more than the legal speed limit is required, use a chassis dynamometer instead of performing a road test.
Road Test Preparation
1. Inspect the engine coolant levels. (See ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL INSPECTION.)
2. Inspect the engine oil levels. (See ENGINE OIL LEVEL INSPECTION.)
3. Inspect the ATF levels. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID (ATF) INSPECTION [FN4A-EL].)
4. Inspect the idle speed and ignition timing in the P position.
(See IDLE SPEED INSPECTION [L3].) (See IGNITION TIMING INSPECTION [L3].)
5. Warm up the engine and transaxle to normal operating temperature.

D range (normal mode)

D Range Test
1. Perform road test preparation. (See Road Test Preparation.)
2. Shift the selector lever to the D range.
3. Accelerate the vehicle with half and WOT, then verify that 1→ 2, 2→ 3, and 3→ 4 upshifts can be obtained. Verify that the shift points are as indicated in the table below.
-
• If not as specified, inspect the PCM and ATX. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [FN4A-EL].)
4. Drive the vehicle in 4GR, 3GR, and 2GR and verify that kickdown occurs for 4→ 3, 3→ 2, 2→ 1 downshifts, and that the shift points are as shown in the table below.
-
• If not as specified, inspect the PCM and ATX. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [FN4A-EL].)
5. Decelerate the vehicle and verify that engine braking effect is felt in 2GR, 3GR, and 4GR.
-
• If not as specified, inspect the PCM and ATX. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [FN4A-EL].)
6. Drive the vehicle and verify that TCC operation is obtained. Verify that the operation points are as indicated in the table below.
-
• If not as specified, inspect the PCM and ATX. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [FN4A-EL].)
7. Select the HOLD mode.
8. Accelerate the vehicle at half throttle and WOT, and verify that 4→ 3, 3→ 2, and 2→ 3 shift can be obtained. Verify that the shift points are as indicated in the table below.
-
• If not as specified, inspect the PCM and ATX. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [FN4A-EL].)
9. Drive the vehicle in 4GR, 3GR, 2GR and verify that kickdown does not occur.
-
• If not as specified, inspect the PCM and ATX. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [FN4A-EL].)
10. Decelerate the vehicle and verify that engine braking effect is felt in 2GR, 3GR, and 4GR.
-
• If not as specified, inspect the PCM and ATX. (See SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING ITEM TABLE [FN4A-EL].)
