## CVT Road Test

1. | Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on).

2. | Apply the parking brake, and block rear wheels. Start the engine, the shift to [D] position while pressing the brake pedal. Press the accelerator pedal, and release it suddenly. The engine should not stall.

3. | Test in [P] position: park the vehicle in a slope about 16°, apply parking brake, and shift into [P] position. Release the brake; the vehicle should not move.

4. | To test-drive the vehicle, remove the glove box cover and glove box, and remove the passenger's lower cover, then remove the access cover.

5. | Set the digital multitester (A) to monitor throttle position sensor voltage with tapered tip probe (B).

6. | Monitor the voltage between PCM connector terminals A15 and A23 or A24.

7. | Test-drive the vehicle on a flat road in the position in the table. Check that the engine speeds meet the approximate vehicle speeds at that throttle position sensor voltage shown in the table.
