10. The Self-Diagnostic Test is now completed. The cluster will automatically exit the self-diagnostic mode
and return to normal operation at the completion of the test, if the ignition switch is turned to the Off
position during the test, or if a vehicle speed message indicating the vehicle is moving is received from the
PCM on the CCD data bus during the test.
Go back to Step 1 to repeat the test, if required.
Torque Converter Terminology (Stall Speed and what it really is)
What is Torque Converter Stall?
The easy answer is: The RPM a torque converter will allow the engine to attain with a given engine torque
input.
How is Torque Converter Stall measured?
That's where the confusion begins between the racer and the high stall torque converter builder. Stall is
measured in three different ways - TRUE, BRAKE and FLASH Stall. The only true way to set stall is using
TRUE stall math.
What is TRUE Stall?
True stall is measured with the transmission locked (Trans brake) and the drive shaft still. The throttle is
then fully depressed and held to obtain the holding RPM of the torque converter. This is the "TRUE" Stall.
What is Foot Brake stall?
This is attained with the transmission in gear and the brakes depressed fully. Now, slowly apply the
accelerator. The RPM the engine reaches the moment before the tires spin is known as the "BRAKE" stall.
