Diagnostic Procedure

  1. Inspection Start 

    Do you have CONSULT-II?

    1. Yes or No 

    Yes: GO TO 2.

    No: GO TO  6.

  2. Check Input Signal Of A/T Fluid Temperature Sensor (With Consult-II) 

    With CONSULT-II 

    1. Start engine.
    2. Select "TCM INPUT SIGNALS" in "DATA MONITOR" mode for "A/T" with CONSULT-II.

    3. Read out the value of "FLUID TEMP SE".

    OK: GO TO  7.

    NG: GO TO 3.

  3. Check A/T Fluid Temperature Sensor With Terminal Cord Assembly 
    1. Turn ignition switch to OFF position.
    2. Disconnect terminal cord assembly connector in engine compartment.
    3. Check resistance between terminals 6 (G) and 7 (B) when A/T is cold.

    4. Reinstall any part removed.

    OK: GO TO 4.

    NG: GO TO  5.

  4. Detect Malfunctioning Item 

    Check the following items:

    • Harness for short to ground or short to power or open between TCM, ECM and terminal cord assembly
    • Ground circuit for ECM

    Refer to POWER DISTRIBUTION .

    1. OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO  7.

    NG: Repair or replace damaged parts.

  5. Detect Malfunctioning Item 
    1. Remove oil pan, refer to REMOVAL .
    2. Check the following items:
      • A/T fluid temperature sensor

        Check resistance between A/T fluid temperature sensor harness connector F92 terminals 6 (G) and 7 (B) while changing temperature as shown at below.

      • Harness of terminal cord assembly for short or open
    1. OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO  7.

    NG: Repair or replace damaged parts.

  6. Check Input Signal Of A/T Fluid Temperature Sensor (Without Consult-II) 

    Without CONSULT-II 

    1. Start engine.
    2. Check voltage between TCM harness connector F50 terminal 47 (G) and ground while warming up A/T.

    1. OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO 7.

    NG: GO TO  2.

  7. Check DTC 

    Perform DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE .

    1. OK or NG 

    OK: Inspection End 

    NG: GO TO 8.

  8. Check TCM Inspection 
    1. Perform TCM input/output signal inspection.
    2. If NG, recheck TCM pin terminals for damage or loose connection with harness connector.
    1. OK or NG 

    OK: Inspection End 

    NG: Repair or replace damaged parts.
