1A10 : CHECK AUTOMATIC TRANSMIS-
SION CONTROL MODULE.
1) Connect connector to automatic transmission
control module.
2) Set the vehicle on a free roller, or lift-up the
vehicle and support with safety stands.
WARNING:
Be careful not to get caught in the rotating
wheels.
3) Drive the vehicle faster than 10 km/h (6 MPH).
4) Measure voltage between automatic transmis-
sion control module connector (B56) and chassis
ground.
CAUTION:
To measure the voltage and/or resistance, use
a tapered pin with a diameter of less than 0.64
mm (0.025 in). Do not insert the pin more than
5 mm (0.20 in).
