S Range Test

RANGE TEST

Shift Pattern
1. Shift the selector lever to S range and select the Economy mode.
2. Accelerate the vehicle and check that 1-2 and 2-3 upshift and downshift are obtained, and that no overdrive and no lockup are obtained.

Note:
- Inspections of shift shock and shift point are not necessary because these are the same as those of the D Range Test.
- In S range, the shift patterns for Economy and Power modes are the same.
- Shift points are the same as those of the 0 range (Power) shift diagram.

3. While driving in S range (Economy mode) and 3rd gear, select the Hold mode and verify that 3rd gear is held until the 3-2 downshift point as shown in the S range (Hold) shift diagram is achieved.
4. Accelerate the vehicle in S range (Hold mode) and check that 2nd gear is held.

Noise and Vibration
Drive the vehicle in 2nd gear (Hold mode) and check for abnormal noise or vibration.

Note: Abnormal noise and vibration can also be caused by the torque converter, driveshaft or differential. Therefore, checking of cause must be made with extreme care.
