DETECT MALFUNCTIONING ITEM
Check the following.
- Harness for short or open between battery and A/T assembly harness connector terminals 1, 2
- Harness for short or open between ignition switch and A/T assembly harness connector terminal 6
- 10A fuse (No. 37, located in the fuse and fusible link block) and 10A fuse (No. 83, located in the IPDM E/R)
- Ignition switch, Refer to "POWER SUPPLY ROUTING CIRCUIT ".
OK or NG
1. OK: GO TO 4.
2. NG: Repair or replace damaged parts.
CHECK TCM GROUND CIRCUIT
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect A/T assembly harness connector.
3. Check continuity between A/T assembly harness connector terminals and ground.
  - Continuity should exist.
  If OK, check harness for short to ground and short to power.
OK or NG
1. OK: GO TO 5.
2. NG: Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

DETECT MALFUNCTIONING ITEM
Check the following.
- The A/T assembly harness connector terminals for damage or loose connection with harness connector.
OK or NG
1. OK: GO TO 6.
2. NG: Repair or replace damaged parts.
PERFORM SELF-DIAGNOSIS
Perform self-diagnosis. Refer to "SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULT MODE ".

OK or NG
1. OK: INSPECTION END
2. NG-1: Self-diagnosis does not activate: GO TO 7.
3. NG-2: DTC is displayed: Check the malfunctioning system. Refer to "SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULT MODE ".
CHECK TERMINAL CORD ASSEMBLY
1. Remove control valve with TCM. Refer to "CONTROL VALVE WITH TCM AND A/T FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR 2 ".
2. Disconnect A/T assembly harness connector and TCM connector.
3. Check continuity between A/T assembly harness connector terminals and TCM connector terminals.
