CAN COMMUNICATION LINEPFP:31940
DescriptionECS007SN
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
TCM TERMINALS AND REFERENCE VALUE
Remarks: Specification data are reference values.
*: This terminal is connected to the ECM.
On Board Diagnosis LogicECS007SO
**: A/T COMM LINE means CAN communication line.
Self-Diagnosis Code Confirmation ProcedureECS007SP
After the repair, perform the following procedure to confirm the malfunction is eliminated.
WITH CONSULT-II
1. Turn ignition switch “ON”.
2. Select “DATA MONITOR” mode for “A/T” with CONSULT-II.
3. Wait at least 6 seconds or start engine and wait for at least 6
seconds.
4. If DTC is detected, go to AT- 3 9 7 , "
Diagnostic Procedure" .
WITHOUT CONSULT-II
1. Turn ignition switch “ON”.
2. Wait at least 6 seconds or start engine and wait at least 6 sec-
onds.
3. Perform self-diagnosis.
Refer to AT-250, "
Diagnostic Procedure Without CONSULT-II" .
4. If DTC is detected, go to AT- 3 9 7 , "

RemovalECS007T4
CAUTION:
Before separating transaxle from engine, remove the crankshaft
position sensor (OBD) from transaxle. Be careful not to damage
sensor.
1. Remove battery and bracket.
2. Remove air duct between throttle body and air cleaner.
3. Disconnect A/T solenoid harness connector, PNP switch har-
ness connector and revolution sensor harness connector.
4. Remove crankshaft position sensor (OBD) from transaxle.
5. Drain ATF from transaxle.
6. Disconnect control cable from transaxle.
7. Disconnect fluid cooler hoses.
8. Remove drive shafts. Refer to AX-10, "FRONT DRIVE SHAFT".
9. Remove the intake manifold support bracket. Refer to EM-16,
"INTAKE MANIFOLD" .

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
4. Tighten bolts fixing transaxle.
5. Reinstall any part removed.
6. Adjust control cable. Refer to AT- 4 0 8 , "
Control Cable Adjust-
ment" .
7. Check continuity of PNP switch. Refer to AT- 111 , "

9. Move selector lever through all positions to be sure that tran-
saxle operates correctly. With parking brake applied, idle
engine. Move selector lever through “N” to “D”, to “2”, to “1” and
“R” positions. A slight shock should be felt through the hand
gripping the selector each time the transaxle is shifted.
10. Perform road test. Refer to AT- 2 6 6 , "
