3. CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR TCM.
1) Connect connectors to TCM and transmission.
2) Lift-up or raise the vehicle and place safety stands.
CAUTION:
On AWD models, raise all wheels off floor.
3) Push the TCS OFF switch to ON. (With TCS models)
4) Start the engine and set vehicle in 20 km/h (12 MPH)
condition.
5) Measure voltage between TCM connector terminals.
Connector & terminal / Specified voltage:

NOTE:
The speed difference between front and rear wheels may
light either the ABS or the ABS/TCS warning light, but this
indicates no malfunctions. When AT control diagnosis is
finished, perform the ABS or the ABS/TCS memory clear-
ance procedure of self-diagnosis system.
