6. Firmly press the brake pedal and accelerator pedal for 6 to 8 seconds, and note the engine speed. Do not move the shift lever while raising engine speed.
7. Allow 2 minutes for cooling, then repeat the test in the D, 1, and R positions.
NOTE:
^ Do not test stall speed for more than 10 seconds at a time.
^ Stall speed tests should be used for diagnostic purposes only.
^ Stall speed should be the same in D, 2, 1, and R positions.
^ Do not test stall speed with the A/T pressure gauges installed.
Stall Speed rpm:
Specification: 2,400 rpm
