ROAD TEST [FN4A-EL]

id051701290700

Warning
•  When performing a road test, be aware of other vehicles, people, impediments, etc. to avoid an accident.
Note
•  When the legal speed limit must be exceeded, use a chassis dynamometer instead of performing a road test.

Road Test Preparation

1.  Inspect the engine coolant. (See ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL INSPECTION [MZR 1.6].)

2.  Inspect the engine oil. (See ENGINE OIL LEVEL INSPECTION [MZR 1.6].)

3.  Inspect the ATF. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID (ATF) INSPECTION [FN4A-EL].)

4.  Inspect the idle speed. (See ENGINE TUNE-UP [MZR 1.6].)

5.  Inspect the ignition timing. (See ENGINE TUNE-UP [MZR 1.6].)

6.  Verify that no DTCs recorded. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DTC INSPECTION [FN4A-EL].)

D Position Test

1.  Perform “Road Test Preparation”. (See Road Test Preparation.)

2.  Warm-up the transaxle until the ATF temperature reaches at 60—70 °C.

3.  Select the selector lever to D position.

4.  Perform the road test at D position.

•  If there is any malfunction, perform the “Symptom Troubleshooting”.
(1)  Accelerate the vehicle with half and WOT, then verify that 1GR—2GR, 2GR—3GR, and 3GR—4GR upshifts can be obtained. The shift points must be as shown in the table below.
(2)  Decelerate the vehicle in 4GR, then verify that 4GR—3GR, 3GR—2GR and 2GR—1GR downshifts can be obtained. The shift points must be as shown in the table below.
(3)  Drive the vehicle in 4GR, 3GR, and 2GR and verify that kickdown occurs for 4GR—3GR, 3GR—2GR, 2GR—1GR downshifts, and that the shift points are as shown in the table below.
(4)  Decelerate the vehicle and verify that engine braking effect is felt in 4GR, 3GR and 2GR.
(5)  Drive the vehicle and verify that TCC operation is obtained. The operation points must be as shown in the table below.

M Position Test

1.  Perform “Road Test Preparation”. (See Road Test Preparation.)

2.  Warm-up the transaxle until the ATF temperature reaches at 60—70 °C.

3.  Select the selector lever to M position.

4.  Perform the road test at M position.

•  If there is any malfunction, perform the “Symptom Troubleshooting”.
(1)  Verify that upshifts and downshifts are obtained by manual shifting of the selector lever forward and back.
(2)  Decelerate the vehicle in 4GR, then verify that 4GR—3GR, 3GR—2GR and 2GR—1GR downshifts can be obtained. The shift points must be as shown in the table below.
(3)  Decelerate the vehicle and verify that engine braking effect is felt in all gear position.
