Evaluation of stall test
Time Lag Test
1. Perform mechanical system test preparation. (See K6 Mechanical System Test Preparation.)
2. Use a stopwatch to measure the time it takes from shifting until shock is felt when shifting the selector lever
from N position to D range (non-HOLD mode). Take three measurements for each test and take the average
from the results using the following formula.
Formula:
Average time lag = (Time 1 + Time 2 + Time 3) / 3
3. Perform the test for the following shifts in the same manner Step 2.
• N position → D range (HOLD mode)
• N position → R position
Time lag

→→
→ D range ... 0.40.7 s

In all forward ranges and R
position
Insufficient
line pressure
Worm oil pump
Oil leaking from oil pump, control valve, and/
or transaxle case
Pressure regulator valve sticking
Pressure control solenoid malfunction
Pressure modulator valve sticking
In forward ranges
Forward clutch slippage
One-way clutch 1 slippage
