Over drive on Toyota Altis 2002

[anakngsultan]

Hi Guys,

Finally I was able to have my first car na, A Toyota Altis 2002 AT 1.6 E.
Ask lang ako guys kung paano ko ma-check ung Overdrive if ng-ffailed na? Ano ba talaga ung Overdrive?
Un indicator niya umiilaw naman.
I would really appreciate your inputs guys.

Thank you in advance.

Drive it. If it does 2800-3200 at a steady 100 km/h, you're in overdrive. If it does much more, you're not.

If the OD OFF light is on continuously, then it's off. There's a button on the shifter to toggle it on or off.

If the o/d is off, your engine has a tendency to engine brake and it doesnt shift to 4th gear (hanggang 3rd lang).

thank you sir's. Can I test the o/d without driving 100-120kmh?
How about when park?

Yung L = 1st gear...
2 = 2nd gear...
OD off = 3rd gear...
D = shifts automatically from 1st to 4th gear...
If you are running at D and at 80 kph, yung rpm reading should be within 2000rpm.
Now, if you switch to "OD OFF" during this instance...rpm should rev-up to around 2800rpm.
If that didnt happen...then there's something wrong with your AT.

Okay this now make sense to me..
OD OFF should make me faster without pushing to hard on my gas? am i right?
thanks guys,.

You can't even get into fourth gear on the Altis without hitting 80 km/h, so... no.
