Inspection

Warning

Keep the brakes applied at all times in order to prevent unexpected vehicle motion. Personal injury may result if the vehicle moves unexpectedly.


Note

Due to the risk of overheating, checking at full load must not take longer than 5 seconds. Add a pause for cooling down. The oil level in the gearbox must be correct.



1. Raise the vehicle.

5. Fit DT-8791600 equipment (B) on connection (A).

6. Lower the car to the floor.

7. Connect the scan tool and check the oil temperature.

Note

The oil temperature must be between 50°C (122°F) and 80°C (176°F).


8. Check the oil pressure in selector lever position "D".

• Start the engine.

• Move the selector lever to position "D".

• Check the oil pressure at idling speed and at full load - air conditioning and lighting disengaged.

- Desired value idling speed (foot brake not applied): 370-410 kPa (53.6-59.5 psi).

- Desired value full load: 1350-1460 kPa (195.8-211.7 psi).
