Abstract
A system and method of evaluating a continuously variable transmission (CVT) on a vehicle includes positioning a vehicle having a CVT on a test stand, where the test stand includes rollers for receiving wheel assemblies of the vehicle, and with the vehicle further including a drivetrain and an electronic system that includes a transmission controller. The vehicle is operated on the test stand whereby wheel assemblies of the vehicle are rotated via the drivetrain of the vehicle. A computer acquires data from the electronic system of the vehicle while the vehicle is being operated on the test stand with the data used to determine whether the CVT is operating acceptably based on the acquired data.
