DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

CAUTION: Be careful of the driving speed.

1.PREPARATION BEFORE WORK

If another "DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE" occurs just before, turn ignition switch OFF and wait for at least 10 seconds, then perform the next test.

>> GO TO 2.

2.CHECK DTC DETECTION

1. Start the engine.
2. Maintain the following conditions.
3. Shift the selector lever through entire positions from "P" to "L". (Hold the selector lever at each position for 10 seconds or more.)
4. Check the first trip DTC.

Is "P0705" detected?

YES >> Go to TM "Diagnosis Procedure".

NO >> INSPECTION END

Diagnosis Procedure

1.CHECK TCM INPUT SIGNALS

With CONSULT

1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Select "Data Monitor" in "TRANSMISSION".
3. Select "D POSITION SW", "N POSITION SW", "R POSITION SW", "P POSITION SW" and "L POSITION SW".
4. Shift the selector lever through entire positions from "P" to "L" and check ON/OFF of each monitor item.   

Without CONSULT

1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect TCM connector.
3. Turn ignition switch ON.
4. Shift the selector lever from "P" to "L" and check voltage between TCM harness connector terminals and ground.                                      

Is the inspection result normal?

YES >> Check intermittent incident. Refer to GI "Intermittent Incident".

NO-1 ["D POSITION SW" is "ON" when selector is not in "D" position. (Or connector terminal 4 is at power voltage.)]>>GO TO 2.

NO-2 ["N POSITION SW" is "ON" when selector is not in "N" position. (Or connector terminal 5 is at power voltage.)]>>GO TO 4.

NO-3 ["R POSITION SW" is "ON" when selector is not in "R" position. (Or connector terminal 6 is at power voltage.)]>>GO TO 6.

NO-4 ["P POSITION SW" is "ON" when selector is not in "P" position. (Or connector terminal 7 is at power voltage.)]>>GO TO 8.
