"D" Range Test
- Shift into "D" range. Hold accelerator pedal constant at full throttle. Check 1-2, 2-3, and 3-OD lock-up and upshift points. Refer to appropriate SHIFT SPEED SPECIFICATIONS .NOTE: There is no lock-up when vehicle speed is 6 MPH less than the set cruise control speed. Ensure cruise control is off during road test.
- If no 1-2 upshift occurs, check 1-2 shift valve or governor valve.
- If no 2-3 upshift occurs, check 2-3 shift valve.
- If no 3-OD upshift occurs, check 3-OD shift valve or solenoid.
- If all shift points are incorrect, check throttle valve, 1-2 shift valve, 2-3 shift valve and 3-OD shift valve.
- If all lock-up points are incorrect, check lock-up relay valve or solenoid.
- Use procedure outlined in step 1) to check for shock and slip between 1-2, 2-3, and 3-OD upshifts. If shock is harsh, line pressure may be too high. Check accumulator or check ball.
- Run vehicle in "D" range lock-up or overdrive gear. Check for abnormal noise and vibration.NOTE: Check for cause of abnormal noise and vibration must be made with extreme care as problem could be due to an unbalanced drive shaft, differential, tire, torque converter, etc.
- While running in "D" range, confirm correct kickdown vehicle speed limits for 2-1, 3-2, OD-3 shift points. Check for abnormal shock and slip at kickdown.
- Check lock-up function. Drive vehicle in OD gear of "D" range with lock-up on. Hold vehicle speed steady between 37-43 MPH. Lightly depress accelerator pedal. Ensure engine RPM does not change abruptly. Large increase in engine RPM indicates lock-up function is faulty.
