CONSULT-II Function (TCM): Notes

CONSULT-II can display each diagnostic item using the diagnostic test modes shown following.

TCM SPECIFICATION

TCM diagnostic mode Description
WORK SUPPORT Supports inspections and adjustments. Commands are transmitted to the TCM for setting the status suitable for required operation, input/output signals are received from the TCM and received data is displayed.
SELF-DIAG RESULTS Displays TCM self-diagnosis results.
DATA MONITOR Displays TCM input/output data in real time.
CAN DIAG SUPPORT MNTR The result of transmit/receive diagnosis of CAN communication can be read.
ACTIVE TEST Operation of electrical loads can be checked by sending drive signal to them.
FUNCTION TEST Conducted by CONSULT-II instead of a technician to determine whether each system is "OK" or "NG".
ECU PART NUMBER TCM part number can be read.

After performing "SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (WITH CONSULT-II) (Refer to CONSULT-II SETTING PROCEDURE ), place check marks for results on the DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET . Reference pages are provided following the items.

NOTE:
  1. The CONSULT-II electrically displays shift timing and lock-up timing (that is, operation timing of each solenoid).

    Check for time difference between actual shift timing and the CONSULT-II display. If the difference is noticeable, mechanical parts (except solenoids, sensors, etc.) may be malfunctioning. Check mechanical parts using applicable diagnostic procedures.

  2. Shift schedule (which implies gear position) displayed on CONSULT-II and that indicated in article may differ slightly. This occurs because of the following reasons:
    • Actual shift schedule has more or less tolerance or allowance,
    • Shift schedule indicated in article refers to the point where shifts start, and
    • Gear position displayed on CONSULT-II indicates the point where shifts are completed.
  3. Display of solenoid valves on CONSULT-II changes at the start of shifting, while gear position is displayed upon completion of shifting (which is computed by TCM).
  4. Additional CONSULT-II information can be found in the Operation Manual supplied with the CONSULT-II unit.
