TCM Inspection

TCM INSPECTION

Caution:
^ The TCM terminal voltages vary with changes in measuring and vehicle conditions. Always carry out a total inspection of the input and output systems, and-the TCM to determine the cause of trouble. Otherwise, a mix-diagnosis could occur.

1. Measure the voltage at each terminal.
^ If any incorrect voltage is detected, inspect the related system(s), wiring harnesses and connector(s).

Part 4:





Note:
^ Use the ground of terminal 1C and 1Y of the TCM when measuring terminal voltage, as an error may occur when connecting the negative circuit tester to ground.
