Stall Speed Test: Conditions

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Verify that the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) temperature is between 50-80°C (120-176°F).
All additional electrical loads are OFF.

NOTE: Do not continuously run the test procedure for longer than 5 seconds because of the extreme increase in the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) temperature. Also, be sure to keep the interval between stall tests to more than 1 minute in order to prevent damage to the automatic transmission internal components.
