Stall Speed Test

  1. Operate engine and transaxle at normal operating temperature. Connect tachometer to vehicle and ensure it is visible to driver. Apply parking brake and block all 4 wheels.
    2. CAUTION: DO NOT maintain stall speed RPM for more than 5 seconds. Transaxle damage may occur.
  2. Ensure A/C is off. Start engine, apply service brake and place shift lever in "D" position. Depress accelerator to full throttle and note maximum RPM obtained (stall speed). Repeat test in "R" position.
  3. Compare all readings to specification. See STALL SPEED SPECIFICATIONS  table. If stall speeds are as specified, test is complete. If stall speeds are not as specified, internal components in transaxle may be malfunctioning. Check self-diagnostic system for DTCs. See DIAGNOSIS & TESTING in appropriate ELECTRONIC CONTROLS article. If no DTCs are present, component failure may be cause.
