Stall Speed Test
2. HDS - Connect
1.
Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A) located under the driver's side of the dashboard.
2.
Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.
3.
Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle. If it does not communicate, go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting.

3. Engine - Warm Up
1.
Start the engine, and warm it up to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on twice).

4. CVT Stall Speed - Test
1.
Apply the parking brake, and block all four wheels.
2.
Make sure the A/C switch is OFF.
3.
Shift the transmission to D position/mode while pressing the brake pedal firmly, then press the accelerator pedal for 6 to 8 seconds, and note the engine speed.
NOTE: Do not move the shift lever or remove your foot off the brake pedal, while raising the engine speed.
4.
Allow 2 minutes for cooling, then repeat the test in the all positions/modes.
NOTE:
Do not test stall speed for more than 10 seconds at a time.
Record the engine speed at 6 to 8 seconds after pressing the accelerator pedal. Higher engine speed will be indicated for 5 seconds.
Stall speed tests should be used for diagnostic purposes only.
The stall speed should be the same in all positions/modes.
Do not test stall speed with a pressure gauge installed.
Stall Speed rpm
Specification: 2,250 rpm
Service Limit: 2,000?2,400 rpm
