Table 6.1.3 - Diagnostic Trouble Messages
Description / Cause
There have been no faults recorded since the TCU was last cleared. If
the fault history has never been cleared, then there have been no
faults recorded since the TCU was originally powered up.
There is an internal fault within the TCU.
The voltage measured by the TCU corresponding to the battery sup-
ply voltage has been outside the range of the maximum operating
voltage of 16.5 volts.
The minimum operating voltage depends on the transmission tem-
perature but is typically between 8-9 V for a warm transmission.
The voltage measured by the TCU from the throttle potentiometer has
been outside acceptable levels.
This would typically indicate a loose connection in the wiring to, or
within, the throttle sensor which has caused the signal at the TCU to
read 0V or 5V.
The voltage measured by the TCU across the temperature Input ter-
minals has been outside acceptable levels.
This would typically be caused by a loose connection or short to ground
in the wiring to, or within, the temperature sensor which has caused
the signal at the TCU to read 0V or 5V.
The voltage measured by the TCU across the shift lever input termi-
nals has been outside acceptable levels for a significant length of
time. This would typically be caused by a loose connection or short to
ground in the wiring to, or within, the inhibitor switch which has caused
the signal at the TCU to read 0V or 5V.
The signal from the ignition, of ignition pulses, has either been non-
existent or has been unreliable.
There are two reasons this fault could occur. The first is due to a lack
of ignition pulses when other TCU inputs would indicate that the en-
gine is running, that is the gear lever is in a driving position, the throttle
is applied and vehicle speed increasing.
The second cause of this (aunt is the frequency of the pulses of the
ignition pulse input to the TCU indicate an unachievable engine speed.
The pulses from the shaft speed sensor have either been non-exis-
tent or have been unreliable.
There are three reasons this fault could occur. The first is due to a
sudden loss of speedometer pulses at a time when they were fre quent,
thus indicating an unachievable degree of deceleration of the drive
line. The second cause of this fault is that the frequency of the pulses
on the shaft speed sensor input to the TCU indicate an unachievable
propeller shaft speed. The third is the presence of a high engine speed
in a driving gear with no speedometer pulses. Condition

5A-68 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Description / Cause
The signal from the mode switch is unreliable.
This fault is caused by too many changes in the mode input signal
over a period of time. Typical causes would be an intermittent connec
tion in the switch or wiring or an intermittent short to ground in the
wiring.
The data link between the TCU and the engine management module
is found to be unreliable because the checksum, or the data received,
did not match the correct checksum.
This could be caused by an open circuit, short circuit to ground or a
loose connection in the link wire itself.
Each solenoid in turn is switched off if it was energised, or switched on
if it was not energised by a very small 100 ms pulse. This pulse is too
short for the solenoid to react so transmission operation is not af
fected.
The solenoid feedback voltage is measured before the 100 ms pulse
and again during the pulse. If the difference is outside the acceptable
limits the relevant fault messages are set.
Typical causes would be an open circuit in the wiring to or within the
solenoid, or a short circuit to ground in the wiring to, from or within the
solenoid in question.
If several of these fault codes are presents check the wiring or
connectors that are common to the selected solenoids, especially the
earth connections.
The state of the solenoid feedback voltage is outside acceptable
limits but the faulty solenoid could not be isolated.
The current to solenoid 5 was outside acceptable limits.
This fault results from a mismatch between the current set point for
solenoid 5 and the current measured by the feedback within the TCU.
Typical causes would be an open circuit or short circuit to ground in
the wiring to, from or within the solenoid. It is also possible that there
has been a fault in the solenoid output circuit. If this is the case
however, the fault should be continually present.
The closed throttle position has not been learnt. This fault
may be caused by the transmission not having reached normal
operating temperature or the engine idle speed being incorrect.
The TCU will learn the closed throttle position automatically
when the transmission is brought to normal operating
temperature and the engine is allowed to idle in Drive with the
‘base idle’ correctly set and the air conditioner (if fitted)
switched off. Condition

MECHANICAL TESTS
In Vehicle Transmission Checks
Carry out the following tests before removing the transmission.
lSee Checking Transmission Fluid Level, Section 7.2.1.
lCheck that the transmission oil is not burnt (colour and smell are correct).
lEnsure that the transmission is not in limp home mode (LHM).
lCheck that the battery terminals and the earth connections are not corroded or loose.
lCheck the engine stall speed is within the handbook value.
lCheck that the cooler flow is not restricted.
lCheck that all electrical plug connections are tight.
lCarry out a road test to confirm the symptoms, if necessary.
lInspect the oil, ensure that there are no metal or other contaminants in the oil pan.
Diagnosing Oil Leaks
Determine the source of oil leaks by firstly cleaning down the affected area, then driving the vehicle.
Inspect the seals to confirm the source of the leak.
lTo determine the source of a rear servo oil leak, raise the vehicle on a hoist, then carry out a reverse stall.
lTo determine the source of a front servo leak, raise the vehicle on a hoist, then run the vehicle in second gear.
Troubleshooting Charts
The troubleshooting charts are set out as follows:
