Stall Speed Test
- Make sure the transmission fluid is filled to the proper level (see ATF LEVEL CHECK ).
- Apply the parking brake, and block all four wheels.
- Connect the HDS to the DLC (A), and go to the A/T data list.
- Make sure the HDS communicates with the PCM. If it does not, go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting; '04-06 models (see '04-06 MODELS ), '07-08 models (see '07-08 MODELS ).
- Make sure the A/C switch is OFF.
- After the engine has warmed up to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on), shift to D.
- Firmly press the brake pedal, then fully press the accelerator pedal for 6 to 8 seconds, and note the maximum engine speed. Do not move the shift lever while raising engine speed.
- Allow 2 minutes for cooling, then repeat the test in R.NOTE:
- Do not test stall speed for more than 10 seconds at a time.
- Stall speed tests should be used for diagnostic purposes only.
- Stall speed tests should be the same in D and R.
- Do not test stall speed with the A/T oil pressure gauges installed.
Stall Speed rpm:
Specification: 2,400 rpm
Service Limit: 2,250-2,550 rpm
- If the stall speeds are out of the service limit, problems and probable causes are listed in the table:PROBLEM SYMPTOMS CHART
Problem Probable causes Stall speed rpm high in D and R - ATF pump output low
- Clogged ATF strainer
- Regulator valve stuck
- Slipping clutch
Stall speed rpm high in R Slippage 4th clutch Stall speed rpm low in D and R - Engine output low
- Engine throttle valve closed
- Torque converter one-way clutch slipping
