Stall Speed Test: Conditions
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Pontiac Torrent and 2009 Chevrolet Equinox. 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.
CAUTION:
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.
