TCM Inspection

TCM INSPECTION [FN4A-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 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 2:




Part 3:




Part 4:





Note: Use the ground of terminal 10 and 1P of the TCM when measuring terminal voltage, as an error may occur when connecting the negative circuit tester to ground.
