Road Test 14-2

1. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on).
2. Apply the parking brake, and block both rear wheels securely. Start the engine, then shift to position while depressing the
brake pedal. Depress the accelerator pedal and release it suddenly. The engine should not stall.
3. Repeat the same test in position.
4. Test-drive the vehicle on a flat road in position. Check that the shift points occur at the approximate speeds shown. Also
check for abnormal noise and clutch slippage.
NOTE: Throttle position sensor voltage represents the throttle opening.
- 1. Pull back the carpet from passenger’s side of the centre console to expose the PCM.
- 2. Set the digital multitester to monitor voltage between the C27 (+) terminal and B20 (-) or B22 (-) terminal of the PCM
for the throttle position sensor.

5. Accelerate to about 35 mph (57 km/h) so the transmission is in 4th, then shift from position to position. The vehicle
should immediately begin slowing down from engine braking.
6. Check for abnormal noise and clutch slippage in the following positions.
(1st Gear) Position
a. Accelerate from a stop at full throttle. Check that there is no abnormal noise or clutch slippage.
b. Upshifts should not occur with the shift lever in this position.
(2nd Gear) Position
a. Accelerate from a stop at full throttle. Check that there is no abnormal noise or clutch slippage.
b. Upshifts and downshifts should not occur with the shift lever in this position.
(Reverse) Position
Accelerate from a stop at full throttle and check for abnormal noise and clutch slippage.
7. Test in (Parking) Position
Park the vehicle on a slope (approx. 16°), apply the parking brake and shift in position. Release the brake; the vehicle
should not move.
