Stall Speed Test

Make sure the transmission fluid is filled to the proper level (see CVT FLUID LEVEL CHECK ).
Apply the parking brake, and block the front wheels.
Connect a tachometer to the engine, and start the engine.
Make sure the A/C switch is OFF.
After the engine has warmed up to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on), shift to the D position.
Fully press the brake pedal and accelerator pedal for 6 to 8 seconds, and note the engine speed. Do not move the shift lever while raising the engine speed.
Allow 2 minutes for cooling, then repeat the test in the L and R positions.
NOTE:
- Do not test stall speed for more than 10 seconds at a time.
- Stall speed tests should be used for diagnostic purposes only.
- Stall speed tests should be the same in the D, L, and R positions.
- Do not test stall speed with the A/T pressure gauges installed.
