"L" Position Test
- While driving vehicle in "L" position, ensure there is no upshift to 2nd gear. Release accelerator pedal. If there is no engine braking effect, 1st and reverse brake is defective. Check for abnormal noise at acceleration and deceleration.
- On A-240E models, operate vehicle above 50 MPH in "D" or "2" position. Release accelerator pedal and shift into "L" position. Ensure that 2nd-1st gear down-shift occurs at 31-32 MPH. To prevent overrun, transaxle upshifts into 2nd gear at 33-37 MPH.
