Road Test Procedure
- Park vehicle on flat surface and set OD switch to ON position. Move selector lever to "P" position and start engine.
- Move selector lever to "D" position. Depress accelerator pedal halfway. Vehicle should start from 1st gear. Verify 1-2, 2-3 and 3-4 upshifts occur at specified speed. See appropriate SHIFT SPEED SPECIFICATIONS table.
- Lock-up occurs at speeds relative to throttle opening in 3rd or 4th gear. Verify lock-up speeds. See appropriate LOCK-UP SPEED SPECIFICATION table. Lock-up condition should be maintained for more than 30 seconds. Lock-up state is released upon deceleration.
- Confirm OD switch is in ON position and selector lever is in "D" position. Accelerate vehicle to approximately 50 MPH using light-throttle. Release accelerator pedal and then quickly depress pedal to floor. Transaxle should downshift from 4th to 2nd gear. Release accelerator and verify 2-3, and 3-4 upshifts. Check shift points and specified speeds. See appropriate SHIFT SPEED SPECIFICATIONS table.
- Confirm OD switch is in ON position and selector lever is in "D" position. Accelerate vehicle to 4th gear using half-throttle. Release accelerator and move OD switch to OFF position. Verify 4-3 downshift.
- While still in 3rd gear, move selector lever from "D" to "2" position. Downshift should occur and deceleration should occur by engine braking. While still in 2nd gear, move selector lever from "2" to "1" position. Downshift should occur and deceleration should occur by engine braking.
