Automatic Transmission/Transaxle [FS5A-El]

TCM INSPECTION [FS5A-EL]

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 mis-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) referring to the Action column in the terminal voltage table.

Terminal Voltage Table (Reference)

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