TCM Service Precautions

When connecting TCM harness connector, tighten securing bolt until the orange indicator appears.

When connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or from TCM, take care not to damage pin terminals (bend or break).
Make sure that there are not any bends or breaks on TCM pin terminal, when connecting pin connectors.







Before replacing TCM, perform TCM input/output signal inspection and make sure whether TCM functions properly or not.







After performing each TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS, perform "DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE".
The DTC should not be displayed in the "DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE" if the repair is completed.
