Stall Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Perform mechanical system test preparation. (See MECHANICAL SYSTEM TEST PREPARATION .)
Shift the selector lever to the R position.
CAUTION:
- If the accelerator pedal is pressed for longer than 5 seconds while the brake pedal is pressed, the transmission could be damaged. Therefore, perform both Steps 3 and 4 within 5 seconds.
Firmly depress the brake pedal with the left foot, and gently depress the accelerator pedal (AP) to the floor with the right.
When the engine speed no longer increases, quickly read the speed and release the AP.
Shift the selector lever to the N position and let the engine idle for 1 minute or more to cool the ATF.

Perform a stall test of D, 2, and 1 ranges in the same manner.
