Torque Converter Stall Test
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
This test measures the maximum engine speed when the selector lever is in the D or R position. The torque converter stalls to test the operation of the torque converter, starter motor, one-way clutch operation, the holding performance of the clutches, and brakes in the transaxle.
CAUTION:
Do not let anybody stand in front of or behind the vehicle while this test is being carried out.
- Check the automatic transaxle fluid level and temperature, and the engine coolant temperature.
- Fluid level : At the HOT mark on the oil level gauge
- Fluid temperature : 80~100°C
- Engine coolant temperature : 80~100°C
- Chock both rear wheels (left and right).
- Apply the parking brake lever with the brake pedal fully depressed.
- Start the engine.
- Move the selector lever to the D position, fully depress the accelerator pedal and take a reading of the maximum engine speed at this time.
CAUTION:
- The throttle should not be left fully open for more than eight seconds.
- If carrying out the stall test two or more times, move the selector lever to the N position and run the engine at 1,000 RPM to let the automatic transaxle fluid cool down before carrying out subsequent tests.
Standard value stall speed : 2,100 ~ 2,900 RPM
- Move the selector lever to the R position and carry out the same test again.
Standard value stall speed : 2,100 ~ 2,900 RPM
