HYBRID TRANSMISSION SYSTEM ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK SHIFT CHANGE POINT

    CAUTION:

    Check for safety before performing any tests.

    Note


    • This test must be performed after checking and adjusting the engine.

    • Perform the test at the normal operating transmission fluid temperature 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F).

    • Perform the test with the air conditioning and cruise control turned off.

    • Do not perform the test with the shift position in M.

    • Perform the test with the WOUT Control Limit Power at 17 kW or higher.

    • Perform the test with the WIN Control Limit Power at -10 kW or higher.

    • Do not operate the paddle shift during the test.

    • Perform the test with the mode switch in ECO.

    • Perform the test on a road with a gradient of 3%.

  2. ROAD TEST

    CAUTION:

    Check for safety before performing any tests.

    Note


    • This test must be performed after checking and adjusting the engine.

    • Perform the test at the normal operating transmission fluid temperature 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F).

    • Perform the test with the air conditioning and cruise control turned off.

    • Shifting between gears in M can only be checked while the vehicle is being driven.*1

    Drive Test Chart
    Check Item Check Procedure
    Shift shock level while driving with shift lever in D

    While driving the vehicle normally, check the shifting up and down through each gear.

    Check the shock level during shift operations.
    Paddle shift function Shift to the "+" and "-" side with the shift paddle to check that the shift position on the meter display changes as follows: 1 → 2, 2 → 3, 3 → 4, 4 → 5, 5 → 6, 6 → 7, 7 → 8, 8 → 9 and 9 → 10.
    Transmission control switch operation With the vehicle stopped and the shift lever in D, move the shift lever to M and return it to D. Check that the meter display changes from D to M1 and then back again.
    M position function*1 With the shift lever in M, move between "+" and "-" and check that the meter display changes.
    Downshifting While driving at a vehicle speed of approximately 100 km/h (62 mph) with the shift lever in M10 (10th gear), shift to the "-" side of the shift paddle and check that the transmission shifts down to 9th gear.
    While driving at a vehicle speed of approximately 100 km/h (62 mph) with the shift lever in M9 (9th gear), shift to the "-" side of the shift paddle and check that the transmission shifts down to 8th gear.

    While driving at a vehicle speed of approximately 90 km/h (56 mph) with the shift lever in M8 (8th gear), shift to the "-" side of the shift paddle and check that the transmission shifts down to 7th gear.

    Tech Tips

    If the vehicle speed exceeds 185 km/h (115 mph), downshifting cannot be performed.

    While driving at a vehicle speed of approximately 80 km/h (50 mph) with the shift lever in M7 (7th gear), shift to the "-" side of the shift paddle and check that the transmission shifts down to 6th gear.

      Powertrain > Hybrid Control > Active Test
      Active Test Display
      Control the Transmission Oil Pump
      Data List Display
      Transmission Fluid Pump Motor Revolution
      Request Transmission Fluid Pump Motor Revolution
      Result
      The values for "Request Transmission Fluid Pump Motor Revolution" and "Transmission Fluid Pump Motor Revolution" are almost the same.*
      *: The transmission oil pump motor engine speed is 300 to 600 rpm when the required transmission oil pump engine speed is 400 rpm.

      Note


      • Complete the Transmission Oil Pump Motor Active Test within 30 seconds.

      • If the Transmission Oil Pump Motor Active Test is performed once, further Active Tests cannot be performed for 1 minute as the motor needs to cool down.

      • Make sure that the auxiliary battery is not discharged.

      • Use an external power source if the voltage of the auxiliary battery is below 12 V. If the voltage of the auxiliary battery is low, the transmission oil pump motor, fuse and wire harness could deteriorate or could be damaged.

    6. While performing EV driving (engine stopped) and check the "Request Transmission Fluid Pump Motor Revolution" and "Transmission Fluid Pump Motor Revolution" Data List items.

      Result
      The values for "Request Transmission Fluid Pump Motor Revolution" and "Transmission Fluid Pump Motor Revolution" are almost the same.
