CONVERTER STALL TEST
A stall test determines the maximum engine speed obtained at full throttle in "D" and "R" range. This test checks the torque converter stator overrunning clutch operation, and the holding ability of the transaxle clutches and the low-reverse brake.
| WARNING | During this test, make sure that nobody stands in front of or behind the vehicle. |
- Check transaxle fluid level. Fluid should be at normal operating temperature [80-90°C (176-194°F)]. Engine coolant should also be at normal operating temperature [80-90°C (176-194°F)].
- Apply chocks to both rear wheels.
- Attach an engine tachometer.
- Apply the parking and service brakes fully.
- Start the engine.
- With the selector lever in the "D" position, depress the accelerator pedal fully to read maximum engine RPM. Do not hold the throttle wide open any longer than is necessary to obtain maximum engine RPM reading, and never longer than 5 seconds at a time. If more than one stall test is required, operate the engine at approximately 1000 RPM in neutral for 2 minutes to cool the transaxle fluid between tests. Stall speed: 2200-2800 RPM
- Place the selector lever in the "R" position and perform the stall test by the same procedure as previously described.
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR INSPECTION
Refer to THROTTLE POSITION (TP) SENSOR .

- Disconnect the drive shaft from the transaxle. Refer to «AXLE SHAFTS»(ref-165305-S06152967592004082400000) .
- Using a flat-tip (-) screwdriver, remove the oil seal.
- Using the special tool (09431-21200), tap the drive shaft oil seal into the transaxle.
- Apply a coating of the transaxle fluid to the lip of the oil seal.
INSPECTION
