NOTE: If a radiation thermometer (noncontact
thermometer) is available, use it to measure the
surface temperature of the oil pan.

body assembly and the harness.

TORQUE CONVERTER STALL TEST

M1231205400203

This test measures the maximum engine speed at
the time the torque converter stalls with the selector
lever in the D or R position. With this test, the holding
abilities of the clutch and brake that are incorporated
in the transmission can be checked.

WARNING

For safety, operators must not stand in front
of and at the rear of the vehicle during this
test.

1. Check the CVT fluid level, CVT fluid temperature,

and engine coolant temperature.

• CVT fluid level: In the "HOT" range on the oil

level gauge

• CVT fluid temperature: 70 to 80°C

• Engine coolant temperature: 80 to 100°C

NOTE: Use M.U.T.-III. to measure the CVT fluid
temperature.

2. Raise the vehicle.

3. Pull the parking brake lever, and then fully

depress the brake pedal.

4. Start the engine.

CAUTION

• Do not maintain the WOT condition for 5 sec-

onds or longer.

• When continuing the stall test, make sure that

the fluid temperature does not exceed 80

°C. If

the CVT fluid temperature exceeds 80

°C, run

the engine at around 1,000 r/min for 1 minute
or longer to lower the CVT fluid temperature
to 80

°C or less.

5. Move the selector lever to the D range and fully

depress the accelerator pedal. Quickly read the
maximum engine speed at this time.

Standard value

− Stall speed: 2,400 − 2,900

r/min

6. Move the selector lever to the R range, and then

repeat the previous step.

Standard value

− Stall speed: 2,400 − 2,900

r/min

JUDGMENT OF TORQUE CONVERTER
STALL TEST RESULTS

1. Stall speed is high when selector lever is in both

D and R ranges.

• Malfunction of the torque converter (Torque

converter and input shaft spline are slipping)

• Malfunction of the valve body

• Damaged wiring harness and connectors

• Malfunction of CVT-ECU
