Stall Test: Notes
2013 Suzuki SX4 Crossover, Automatic CVT TransSECTION Notes
This test is to check overall performance of CVT and engine by measuring stall speed at "D" and "R" ranges.
CAUTION:
If proper precautions are not taken when performing stall tests, a CVT failure may result due to an excessive rise in CVT fluid temperature.
- Do not continue running the engine for longer than 5 seconds at stall speed.
- After performing a stall test, be sure to allow the engine to run at idle for longer than 1 minute before performing another stall test.
- Check CVT fluid level, see CVT Fluid Check .
- Apply parking brake and block wheels.
- Install tachometer.
- Start engine with select lever shifted to "P" range.
- Depress brake pedal fully.
- Shift select lever to "D" range and depress accelerator pedal fully while watching tachometer. Read engine RPM quickly when it has become constant (stall speed).
- Release accelerator pedal immediately after stall speed is checked.
- In the same way, check stall speed in "R" range.
- Stall speed should be within the following specification:
Engine stall speed
Standard: 2, 300 - 2, 500 RPM
RENDER: 1.0x
