CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSAXLE SYSTEM(for 8NR-FTS) HYDRAULIC TEST

  1. PERFORM HYDRAULIC TEST

    1. Measure the secondary oil pressure.

      CAUTION:

      A secondary oil pressure test should always be carried out with at least 2 people. One person should observe the condition of the wheels and wheel chocks while the other is performing the test.

      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 repeatedly, wait for 15 seconds or more between tests.

      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.

        Tip:

        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.

        Specified Secondary Oil Pressure

        Stall Speed

        Shift Lever Position

        Secondary Oil Pressure

        2450 +/- 300 rpm

        D

        3.5 to 5.5 MPa

        (35.6 to 56.1 kgf/cm2, 507 to 798 psi)

        R

        3.6 to 5.5 MPa

        (36.7 to 56.1 kgf/cm2, 522 to 798 psi)
        Tip:

        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.
