ECS007QM
SYMPTOM:
O/D OFF indicator lamp does not come on in TCM self-diagnostic procedure even if the lamp circuit is
good.
DESCRIPTION
●PNP switch
The PNP switch assembly includes a transmission position switch. The transmission position switch
detects the selector lever position and sends a signal to the TCM.
●Overdrive control switch

TROUBLE DIAGNOSES FOR SYMPTOMS
Detects the overdrive control switch position (ON or OFF) and sends a signal to the TCM.
●Throttle position sensor*
*: This sensor means accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor.
Electric throttle control actuator consists of throttle control motor, acceleration pedal position sensor, throt-
tle position sensor, etc. The actuator sends a signal to the TCM.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
1. CHECK PNP SWITCH CIRCUIT (WITH CONSULT-II)
With CONSULT-II
1. Turn ignition switch to “ON” position.
(Do not start engine.)
2. Select “TCM INPUT SIGNALS” in “DATA MONITOR” mode for “A/T” with CONSULT-II.
3. Read out “P/N”, “R”, “D”, “2” and “1” position switches moving selector lever to each position.
Check that the signal of the selector lever position is indicated
properly.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3
NG >> Check the following items:
●PNP switch (Refer to AT- 2 4 2 , "COMPONENT
INSPECTION" .)
●Harness for short or open between ignition switch and
PNP switch
●Harness for short or open between PNP switch and
TCM
●Diode (P, N positions)

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS — INTRODUCTIONPFP:00000
IntroductionECS007QP
The TCM receives a signal from the vehicle speed sensor, throttle
position sensor or PNP switch and provides shift control or lock-up
control via A/T solenoid valves.
Input and output signals must always be correct and stable in the
operation of the A/T system. The A/T system must be in good oper-
ating condition and be free of valve seizure, solenoid valve malfunc-
tion, etc.
It is much more difficult to diagnose a problem that occurs intermit-
tently rather than continuously. Most intermittent problems are
caused by poor electric connections or improper wiring. In this case,
careful checking of suspected circuits may help prevent the replace-
ment of good parts.
A visual check only, may not find the cause of the problems. A road
test with CONSULT-II or a circuit tester connected should be per-
formed. Follow the “Work Flow”. Refer to AT- 2 5 9 , "
Work Flow" .
Before undertaking actual checks, take a few minutes to talk with a
customer who approaches with a drive ability complaint. The cus-
tomer can supply good information about such problems, especially
intermittent ones. Find out what symptoms are present and under
what conditions they occur. A “Diagnostic Worksheet” like the exam-
ple (AT-256, "
DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET" ) should be used.
Start your diagnosis by looking for “conventional” problems first. This
will help troubleshoot drive ability problems on an electronically con-
trolled engine vehicle.
Also check related Service bulletins for information.
