  5. After the engine has warmed up to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on), shift to the D position.
  6. Firmly press the brake pedal, then press the accelerator pedal fully open for 6 to 8 seconds, and note the engine speed. Do not move the shift lever while raising the engine speed.
  7. Allow the engine to idle for 2 minutes for cooling, then repeat the test in the L and R positions.

    • Stall speed tests should be used for diagnostic purposes only.
