Title: UC80F (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION / TRANSAXLE): AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM: MECHANICAL SYSTEM TESTS; 2025 MY Corolla Corolla Hatchback GR Corolla [09/2024 -        ]

MECHANICAL SYSTEM TESTS

STALL SPEED TEST

CAUTION:

  • Do not perform a stall test if there are any people or objects near the vehicle.
  • The vehicle could begin moving suddenly, resulting in a serious accident.
  • Do not perform a stall test if any wheel chocks are out of position.
  • The vehicle could begin moving suddenly, resulting in a serious accident.
  • Do not perform the stall test on a slippery or low-friction surface that could allow the tires to spin.
  • The vehicle could begin moving suddenly, resulting in a serious accident.

NOTICE:

  • Do not perform the stall speed test for longer than 5 seconds.
  • When performing the stall speed test repeatedly, wait for 15 seconds or more between tests.
  • Perform this test with the ATF (Automatic Transaxle Fluid) at the normal operating temperature: 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F)
  • Check that there is no obstruction within 5 m (16.4 ft.) of the driving direction.

    When torque is restricted by a safety function of the parking support brake system, etc., the stall characteristics may not be normal.

HINT:

This test is to check the overall performance of the engine and transaxle.

(a) Drive the vehicle until the transaxle fluid temperature has reached 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F).

(b) Allow the engine to idle with the air conditioning and headlights off.

(c) Chock all 4 wheels.

(d) Set the parking brake and keep the brake pedal depressed firmly with your left foot.

(e) Move the shift lever to D.

(f) Depress the accelerator pedal as much as possible with your right foot.

(g) Read the engine speed (stall speed) and release the accelerator pedal immediately.

OK:

When the accelerator pedal is fully depressed, the engine speed does not increase to redline.

SHIFT TIME LAG TEST

HINT:

When the shift lever is moved while the engine is idling, there will be a certain time lapse or lag before shock can be felt. This is used for checking the condition of the clutch and brake.

(a) Drive the vehicle until the transaxle fluid temperature has reached 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F).

(b) Allow the engine to idle with the air conditioning off.

(c) Set the parking brake and keep the brake pedal depressed firmly.

(d) Check the D position time lag.

(1) Move the shift lever to N and wait for 1 minute.

(2) Move the shift lever to D and measure the time until shock is felt.

(3) Repeat the 2 steps above 3 times, and calculate the average time of the 3 tests.

Standard Value:

D position time lag is less than 1.5 seconds

(e) Check the R position time lag.

(1) Move the shift lever to N and wait for 1 minute.

(2) Move the shift lever to R and measure the time until shock is felt.

(3) Repeat the 2 steps above 3 times, and calculate the average time of the 3 tests.

Standard Value:

R position time lag is less than 1.5 seconds

Evaluation

Test Result

Possible Cause

  • No. 2 brake (B2) is worn

R position time lag exceeds standard value
  • Line pressure is low
  • No. 3 clutch (C3) is worn
  • No. 2 brake (B2) is worn
