Honda Pilot: Stall Speed Test

Test

1. ATF - Level Check

2. Engine - Warm Up

1. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (in P or N) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.

3. HDS DLC - Connect

4. Stall Speed - Test

1. Apply the parking brake, and block all four wheels.
2. Make sure the A/C switch is OFF.

   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 shift lever positions.

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 the all shift lever positions.
• Do not test stall speed with the A/T pressure gauge installed.
