After disassembly of the ATF strainer, check that it is in good condition, and the inlet opening is not clogged.

Replace the strainer with a new one if it is clogged or damaged.

The strainer can be reused if it is not clogged. Clean the inlet opening thoroughly with compressed air before reinstall-

Troubleshooting
TCS Indicator Light

Temporary Driving Conditions:
1. The TCS indicator light will come on and the control unit memorizes the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) under cer-
tain temporary conditions:
2. If the TCS indicator light does not come back on after correcting the tire or tire pressure problem, the TCS system is
OK.

NOTE: Remove the ABS 2.3 (20 A) fuse for at least 3 seconds to clear the DTC from the TCS control unit memory.
TCS Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Indication: 1. Stop the engine.
2. Turn the ignition switch on and confirm that the TCS indicator light comes on.
3. Turn the ignition switch off.
4. Connect the two terminals of the Service Check Connector with a jumper wire.
5. Turn the ignition switch on, but do not start the engine.6. Record the blinking frequency of the TCS indicator light. The blinking frequency indicates the DTC. Long blinks in- dicate the main code: short blinks indicate the sub-code.
7. Refer to the Troubleshooting Guide (page 19-84) for repair information. The spare tire is installed, or a tire of the improper size is installed.
The tire pressures are not correct.

Side Marker/Turn Signal/Hazard Flash System

Turn Signal/Hazard Relay Input Test

1. Remove the dashboard lower cover. Remove the turn signal/hazard relay from the left kick panel, then dis-
connect the 6-P connector.
2. Inspect the connector terminals to be sure they are all making good contact.
If the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair
them as necessary, and recheck the system.
If the terminals look OK, make the following in-
put tests at the connector. If any test indicates a problem, find and cor-
rect the cause, then recheck the system. If all the input tests prove OK, the control unit
must be faulty; replace it.
