(e) Measure the fluid pressure.
Standard:
| Engine Speed | Fluid Temperature | Transaxle Fluid Pressure |
|---|---|---|
| 1000 rpm | 20 to 50 °C (68 to 122 °F) | 6 kPa (0.06 kgf/cm2, 0.87 psi) or more |
NOTICE:
Be sure to cancel the inspection mode immediately after the hybrid transaxle fluid pressure check is completed.
(f) Remove SST from the hybrid vehicle transaxle assembly.
(g) Install a new O-ring and fluid pump cover plug to the hybrid vehicle transaxle assembly.
Torque:
8.0 N·m {82 kgf·cm, 71 in·lbf}
(h) Install the rear engine under cover LH.

2. ROAD TEST
CAUTION:
Confirm the safety of the working environment, then start the inspection.
NOTICE:
- Perform engine inspection and adjustment before starting a road test.
- Perform a road test at normal operating fluid temperature 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F).
- Make sure the air conditioning switch and cruise control switch are off.
| Check Item | Check Procedure |
| S position test | With the shift lever in S (while the vehicle is stopped), move the shift lever to "+" to check that the shift position indicated on the combination meter changes as follows: 1 → 2, 2 → 3, 3 → 4, 4 → 5 and 5 → 6. |
| Downshifting | While driving with the S3 range selected and a vehicle speed of approximately 92 km/h (57 mph), move the shift lever to "-" and check that the transmission shifts to the S2 range. HINT: If the vehicle speed exceeds 94 km/h (58 mph), downshifting cannot be performed. |
| While driving with the S2 range selected and a vehicle speed of approximately 53 km/h (33 mph), move the shift lever to "-" and check that the transmission shifts to the S1 range. HINT: If the vehicle speed exceeds 55 km/h (34 mph), downshifting cannot be performed. | |
| P position test | Stop the vehicle on an incline (more than 5°) and after moving the shift lever to P, release the parking brake and check that the parking lock pawl holds the vehicle in place. |
| Noise and vibration | Check for noise and vibration when driving the vehicle and during gear changes. |
| Fluid leaks | After performing a road test, check for fluid leaks. |
