Select time lag
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
- Perform the test with the engine fully warmed up and the idling speed being stable.
- On completion of the first test, when one minute or more has elapsed after the selector lever is returned from another position to the "N" range, perform the following tests.
- Check the transmission fluid level and properties.
- Check the transaxle control cable and linkage.
- Chock the front and rear wheels on a level surface, and depress the foot brake to stop the vehicle.
- Start the engine, and shift the selector lever from the "N" range to the "D" range. At this time, measure the time from the lever selection to shock occurrence using a stop watch.
Standard value: - select time lag: 0.8 seconds
- With the same manner, measure the select time from the "N" range to the "R" range.
Standard value: - select time lag: 0.8 seconds
If the measured value is abnormally large exceeding one second, the operating hydraulic pressure reduction and the A/T internal clutch slippage are assumed to have occurred.
