Inspection

Procedure

Transmission Control Switch Test

With the vehicle stationary and the shift lever in D, move the shift lever to S and return it to D. Check that the meter display changes from D to the appropriate S range and then back again.

S Position Test

With the vehicle stationary and the shift lever in S, move the shift lever to "+" and "-". Check that the meter display changes between S ranges properly.

D Position Shift Test

While driving the vehicle normally, check that the transmission shifts up and down through each gear properly.

Lock-up Function

While driving on a level surface at a constant speed in the lock-up range (90 km/h (56 mph) or more) with the shift lever in D, lightly depress the accelerator pedal and check that the engine speed does not change abruptly.

P Position Test

Stop the vehicle on an incline (approximately 5° or more). Then move the shift lever to P and release the parking brake. Check that the parking lock pawl holds the vehicle in place.

Abnormal Noise and Vibration

Check for abnormal noise and vibration while driving the vehicle forward and backward, and during shift operations.

Fluid Leakage

After performing all other road test inspections, check for fluid leakage.
