Road Test

Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on).
Apply the parking brake, and block both rear wheels. Start the engine, then shift to the D5 position while pressing the brake pedal. Press the accelerator pedal, and release it suddenly. The engine should not stall.
Repeat step 2 in all shift lever positions.
Connect the HAS to the DLC (A), and go to the A/T data list.

Test-drive the vehicle on a flat road in the D5 position. Check for abnormal noise and clutch slippage. While driving, check that the shift points occur at the proper speeds by monitoring the throttle position sensor voltage with the HAS and comparing your shift point speeds and voltage to those in the table. (The Accelerator pedal position sensor voltage represents the throttle opening.)

Upshift: D5 Position

UPSHIFT - D5 POSITION

Accelerator pedal position sensor voltage: 0.8 V
1st->2nd	13-14 mph (21-23 km/h)
2nd->3rd	19-21 mph (30-34 km/h)
3rd->4th	25-29 mph (40-46 km/h)
4th->5th	45-48 mph (72-78 km/h)
Lock up ON	48-51 mph (78-82 km/h)
Accelerator pedal position sensor voltage: 2.25 V
1st->2nd	28-30 mph (45-49 km/h)
2nd->3rd	45-49 mph (73-79 km/h)
3rd->4th	67-71 mph (108-114 km/h)
4th->5th	88-92 mph (142-148 km/h)
Lock up ON	89-93 mph (144-150 km/h)
Fully-opened throttle Accelerator pedal position sensor voltage: 4.5 V
1st->2nd	38-42 mph (61-67 km/h)
2nd->3rd	68-72 mph (110-116 km/h)
3rd->4th	105-109 mph (169-175 km/h)

Downshift: D5 Position

DOWNSHIFT - D5 POSITION

Accelerator pedal position sensor voltage: 0.75 V
Lock up OFF	45-48 mph (73-77 km/h)
5th->4th	36-39 mph (58-62 km/h)
4th->3rd	17-19 mph (29-33 km/h)
3rd->1st	9-11 mph (12-16 km/h)
Throttle position sensor voltage: 2.25 V
Lock up OFF	78-82 mph (127-133 km/h)
Fully-opened throttle Accelerator pedal position sensor voltage: 4.5 V
5th->4th	-
4th->3rd	88-92 mph (142-148 km/h)
3rd->2nd	58-61 mph (93-99 km/h)
2nd->1st	29-33 mph (47-53 km/h)

Accelerate to about 35 mph (57 km/h) so the transmission is in 4th or 5th, then shift from the D5 position to the 2 position. The vehicle should immediately begin to slow down from engine braking.
Check for abnormal noise and clutch slippage in the following positions.
1. (1st Gear) Position
  Accelerate from a stop at full throttle. Check that there is no abnormal noise or clutch slippage. Upshifts should not occur with the shift lever in this position.
2. (2nd Gear) Position
  Accelerate from a stop at full throttle. Check that there is no abnormal noise or clutch slippage. Upshifts and downshifts should not occur with the shift lever in this position.
1. R (Reverse) Position
  Accelerate from a stop at full throttle, and check for abnormal noise and clutch slippage.
Test in P (Park) Position.
Park the vehicle on a slope (about 16°), apply the brake, and shift into the P position. Release the brake; the vehicle should not move.

NOTE: Always use the brake to hold the vehicle, when stopped on an incline in gear. Depending on the grade of the incline, the vehicle could roll backwards if the brake is released.
