NOTE:
The check can also be made by analyzing the sensor out-
put signal with oscilloscope during the TCS sequence con-
trol operation. If the ECM female connector end gives cor-
rect value, skip steps 5 through 8.
If not, operate the TCS sequence control again and mea-
sure the value at motor sensor male connector end, with
the motor sensor connector disconnected. If the value is
OK, proceed with steps 7 through 8 above.
