AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (DIAGNOSTIC)
Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
8 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN
SHIFT SOLENOID 1 AND TRANSMISSION.
Measure the resistance of harness between
shift solenoid 1 and transmission connector.
Connector & terminal
(T4) No. 1 — (AT5) No. 1:Is the resistance less than 1
Ω?Go to step 9.Repair the open
circuit in harness
between shift sole-
noid 1 and trans-
mission connector.
9 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN
SHIFT SOLENOID 1 AND TRANSMISSION.
Measure the resistance of harness between
shift solenoid 1 connector and transmission
ground.
Connector & terminal
(T4) No. 1 — Transmission ground:Is the resistance more than 1
MΩ?Even if the
POWER indicator
light was blinking,
the circuit has
returned to a nor-
mal condition at
this time. A tempo-
rary poor contact
of the connector or
harness may be
the cause. Repair
the harness or
connector in shift
solenoid 1 and
transmission.Repair the short
circuit harness
between shift sole-
noid 1 and trans-

2) Lift-up or raise the vehicle and support with
rigid rack.
N
OTE:
Raise all wheels off ground.
3) Start the engine and warm-up the transmis-
sion until ATF temperature is above 80°C
(176°F).
NOTE:
If ambient temperature is below 0°C (32°F),
drive the vehicle until ATF reaches its operating
temperature.
4) Move the selector lever to “D” range, and
slowly increase vehicle speed to 50 km/h (31
MPH).
NOTE:
The speed difference between front and rear
wheels may light the ABS warning light, but this
indicates no malfunction. When AT control diag-
nosis is finished, perform the ABS memory
clearance procedure of on-board diagnostics
system. Mode.>
5) Measure the voltage between TCM con-
nector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(B54) No. 5 (+) — Chassis ground (
−):Is the voltage less than 1 V? Even if the
POWER indicator
light was blinking,
the circuit has
returned to a nor-
mal condition at
this time. A tempo-
rary poor contact
of the connector or
harness may be
the cause. Repair
the harness or
connector in TCM
and transmission.Go to step 5.
