TCM FUNCTION=NLAT0014S03The function of the TCM is to:
+Receive input signals sent from various switches and sensors.
+Determine required line pressure, shifting point and lock-up operation.
+Send required output signals to the step motor and the respective solenoids.

NLAT0290SYMPTOM:
SPORT indicator lamp does not come on in TCM self-diagnos-
tic procedure even the lamp circuit is good.
DESCRIPTIONNLAT0290S01+PNP switch
+The PNP switch assemble includes a transmission position
switch. The transmission position switch detects the selector
position and sends a signal to the TCM.
+Stop lamp switch
Detects the stop lamp switch position (ON or OFF) and sends
a signal to the TCM
+Throttle position switch.
Consists of a wide open throttle position switch and a closed
throttle position switch.
The wide open throttle position switch sends a signal to the
TCM when the throttle valve is open at least 1/2 of the full
throttle position. The closed throttle position switch sends a
signal to the TCM when the throttle valve is fully closed.

Idle Air Volume LearningNLEC0562DESCRIPTIONNLEC0562S01ªIdle Air Volume Learningº is an operation to learn the idle air vol-
ume that keeps each engine within the specific range. It must be
performed under any of the following conditions:
+Each time IACV-AAC valve, throttle body or ECM is replaced.
+Idle speed or ignition timing is out of specification.
PRE-CONDITIONINGNLEC0562S02Before performing ªIdle Air Volume Learningº, make sure that all of
the following conditions are satisfied.
Learning will be cancelled if any of the following conditions are
missed for even a moment.
+Battery voltage: More than 12.9V (At idle)
+Engine coolant temperature: 70 - 99ÉC (158 - 210ÉF)
+PNP switch: ON
+Electric load switch: OFF
(Air conditioner, headlamp, rear window defogger)
On vehicles equipped with daytime light systems, set lighting
switch to the 1st position to light only small lamps.
+Cooling fan motor: Not operating
+Steering wheel: Neutral (Straight-ahead position)
+Vehicle speed: Stopped
+Transmission: Warmed-up
M/T models, drive vehicle for 10 minutes.
OPERATION PROCEDURENLEC0562S03With CONSULT-IINLEC0562S03011. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
2. Check that all items listed under the topic ªPRE-CONDITION-
INGº (previously mentioned) are in good order.
3. Turn ignition switch ªOFFº and wait at least 9 seconds.
4. Start the engine and let it idle for at least 28 seconds.
5. Select ªIDLE AIR VOL LEARNº in ªWORK SUPPORTº mode.
6. Touch ªSTARTº and wait 20 seconds.
7. Make sure that ªCMPLTº is displayed on CONSULT-II screen.
If ªINCMPº is displayed, ªIdle Air Volume Learningº will not be
carried out successfully. In this case, find the cause of the
problem by referring to the NOTE below.
8. Rev up the engine two or three times. Make sure that idle
speed and ignition timing are within specifications.

DescriptionNLEC1271The specification (SP) value indicates the tolerance of the value that is displayed in ªDATA MONITOR (SPEC)º
mode of CONSULT-II during normal operation of the Engine Control System. When the value in ªDATA MONI-
TOR (SPEC)º mode is within the SP value, the Engine Control System is confirmed OK. When the value in
ªDATA MONITOR (SPEC)º mode is NOT within the SP value, the Engine Control System may have one or
more malfunctions.
The SP value is used to detect malfunctions that may affect the Engine Control System, but will not light the
MIL.
The SP value will be displayed for the following three items:
+B/FUEL SCHDL (The fuel injection pulse width programmed into ECM prior to any learned on board cor-
rection)
+A/F ALPHA-B1/B2 (The mean value of air-fuel ratio feedback correction factor per cycle)
+MAS A/F SE-B1 (The signal voltage of the mass air flow sensor)
