TCM Problem Inspection Procedure

TEST TCM GROUND CIRCUIT: Measure
resistance between TCM and chassis ground using the backside of TCM harness
connector as TCM side check point. If the problem is found, repair it.

TEST TCM CONNECTOR: Disconnect
the TCM connector and visually check the ground terminals on TCM side and
harness side for bent pins or poor contact pressure. If the problem is found,
repair it. |

If problem is not found in Step

swapping the TCM with a new one, and then check the vehicle again. If DTC's
were found, examine this first before swapping TCM. |

one. If problem does not occur, this is intermittent problem (Refer to “Intermittent
