CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSAXLE SYSTEM HYDRAULIC TEST


  1. PERFORM HYDRAULIC TEST

    CAUTION:


    • A001VIT

      Do not perform a stall test if there are any people or objects near the vehicle.

    • The vehicle could begin moving suddenly, resulting in a serious accident.

    • A001VMJ

      Do not perform a stall test if any wheel chocks are out of position.

    • The vehicle could begin moving suddenly, resulting in a serious accident.

    • A001XRV

      Do not perform the stall test on a slippery or low-friction surface that could allow the tires to spin.

    • The vehicle could begin moving suddenly, resulting in a serious accident.

    Note


    • This test must be performed after checking and confirming that the engine is normal.

    • Perform this test with the CVT fluid temperature between 50 and 100°C (122 and 212°F).

    • Perform this test with the air conditioning off.

    • Do not perform the stall speed test for more than 5 seconds.

    • When performing the stall speed test more than once, make sure to wait 15 seconds or more between tests.


    1. Measure the secondary oil pressure.


      1. Fully apply the parking brake and chock all 4 wheels.

      2. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

      3. Start the engine.

      4. Turn the GTS on.

      5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Active Test / Activate the TC Terminal.

        Tech Tips

        Observe the value of Belt Clamping Force Sensor in the Data List while performing the Active Test.


        Powertrain > Transmission > Active Test

      6. Keep your left foot firmly on the brake pedal and move the shift lever to D.

      7. Depress the accelerator pedal as much as possible with your right foot. Quickly read the highest secondary oil pressure reading when the engine speed reaches stall speed and release the accelerator pedal immediately.

      8. Keep your left foot firmly on the brake pedal and move the shift lever to R.

      9. Depress the accelerator pedal as much as possible with your right foot. Quickly read the highest secondary oil pressure reading when the engine speed reaches stall speed and release the accelerator pedal immediately.

        Tech Tips

        If the secondary oil pressure exceeds the maximum value or drops below the minimum value, a solenoid valve, regulator valve or modulator valve may be malfunctioning.
