  7. After the engine has warmed up to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on), shift to 2.
  8. Shift to D while pressing brake pedal firmly, then press the accelerator pedal for 6 to 8 seconds, and note the engine speed. Do not move the shift lever or remove your foot off the brake, while raising the engine speed.
  9. Allow 2 minutes for cooling, then repeat the test in 2, 1, and R.
    NOTE:
    • Do not test stall speed for more than 10 seconds at a time.
    • Record the engine speed at 6-8 seconds after pressing the accelerator pedal. Higher engine speed will be indicated for 5 seconds.
    • Stall speed tests should be used for diagnostic purposes only.
    • The stall speed should be the same in D, 2, 1, and R.
