Stall Test

  1. Check engine and transmission for proper lubricant levels. Warm engine to normal operating temperature. Attach tachometer to engine and position so it is visible from driver's seat. Block front and rear wheels, and apply hand brake.
  2. Place one foot firmly on brake pedal and place selector lever in "D" position. Gradually increase engine speed to wide open throttle. When engine speed will not increase further, note tachometer reading. Release throttle to idle position immediately.
    CAUTION: DO NOT hold wide open throttle position for more than 5 seconds. DO NOT test more than 2 ranges without allowing vehicle to cool.
  3. Move selector lever to "N" range and run engine at 1200 RPM for at least 1 minute to cool engine and ATF. Repeat stall test procedure with shift lever in "2", "1" and "R" ranges. See STALL SPEED SPECIFICATIONS (RPM)  table.
