Toyota Corolla Repair Manual: Road test

1. Problem symptom confirmation

  1. Taking into consideration the results of the customer problem analysis, try to reproduce the symptoms of the trouble. If the problem is that the transaxle does not shift up, shift down, or the shift point is too high or too low conduct the following road test referring to the automatic shift schedule and simulate the problem symptoms.

2. Perform road test

Notice

: conduct the test at normal operating atf temperature 50 to 80 °c (122 to 176 °f).

  1. D position test shift into the d position and fully depress the accelerator pedal and check the following points:
  1.  check up–shift operation.

    Check that 1 " 2, 2 " 3 and 3 " o/d up–shift takes place, and that the shift points conform to the automatic shift schedule .

Hint

: o/d gear up–shift prohibition control

O/d and 3rd gear lock–up prohibition control

3Rd gear lock–up prohibition control

  1.  check for shift shock and slip.

    Check for shock and slip at the 1 " 2, 2 " 3 and 3 " o/d up–shift.

  2.  Check for abnormal noises and vibration.

    Run in d position lock–up or o/d gear and check for abnormal noises and vibration.

Hint: the check for the cause of abnormal noises and vibration must be done very thoroughly as it could also be sure to loss of balance in the differential, torque converter, etc.

  1.  Check kick–down operation.

    Check that the possible kick–down vehicle speed limits for 2nd to 1st, 3rd to 2nd, o/d to 3rd kick– downs conform to those indicated on the automatic shift schedule while driving through all gears with the shift lever in the d position .

  2.  Check for abnormal shock and slip at kick–down.
  3.  Check the lock–up mechanism.

If there is a big jump in engine speed, there is no lock–up.

  1.  2 position test shift into the 2 position and fully depress the accelerator pedal and check the following points:
  1.  check up–shift operation.

    Check that the 1 " 2 up–shift takes place and that the shift point conforms to the automatic shift schedule .

Hint

: there is no o/d up–shift and lock–up in the 2 position.

  1. Check engine braking.

    While running in the 2 position and 2nd gear, release the accelerator pedal and check the engine braking effect.

  2.  Check for abnormal noises during acceleration and deceleration, and for shock at up–shift and down–shift.
  1.  l position test shift into the l position and fully depress the accelerator pedal and check the following points:
  1.  check no up–shift.

    While running in the l position, check that there is no up–shift to 2nd gear.

  2.  Check engine braking.

    While running in the l position, release the accelerator pedal and check the engine braking effect.

  3.  Check for abnormal noises during acceleration and deceleration.
  1.  r position test shift into the r position and fully depress the accelerator pedal and check for slipping.

    Caution

    : before conducting this test ensure that the test area is free from people and obstruction.

  2. p position test stop the vehicle on a grade (more than 5°), shift into the p position and release the parking brake.

    Check that the vehicle does not move.

Check mode procedure
1. Dtc check (check mode) Hint: hand–held tester only: compared to the normal mode, the check mode has more sensing ability to detect malfunctions. Furthermore, the same diagnostic items which ar ...

Mechanical system tests
1. Perform mechanical system tests Measure the stall speed. The object of this test is to check the overall performance of the transaxle and engine by measuring the stall speeds in the d an ...

Inspection procedure
1 Check operation(overdrive) Drive the vehicle after the engine warms up.  check that overdrive on e off occurs by an operation of the o/d switch on–off. 2 Inspect terminal voltage(od) Remove the cruise control ecu assy with the connector still connected.  turn ...

Circuit description
When the idle switch is turned on, a signal is sent to the cruise control ecu assy. The cruise control ecu assy uses this signal to correct the discrepancy between the throttle valve position and the actuator position sensor values to enable accurate cruise control at the set speed. If the idl ...

Inspection procedure
1 Check security indicator light Set the system in 30 seconds after filliping the security indicator to check if the alarm is triggered. 2 Check glass breakage sensor ecu (glass breakage sensor) Check the continuity and voltage of the glass breakage sensor ecu, as shown in th ...
