Automatic transmission-45
Diagnosis and test
Test system
1. Recommended test equipment and program
The test equipment and control unit for design will be used for the test of all vehicles. The parts for transmission test includes:
Tester for service after sales
Special vehicle for test
2. Tester for service after sales
After the special programming, the tester equipped with special car test software can be used to test the specified system and unit.
The program allows the normal communication between the transmission control units (TCUs) .
The computer needs the required information from the customer and select the necessary data through the manual. For example:
view the code, clear the error code and make the real-time operation. For detailed operating instruction refer to user’s manual.
The equipment can be used by the trained specialized persons, such as technician, machinist to test the electronic and loop
problem related to transmission. The testable information includes: the engine speed, rode (shaft speed), transmission fluid
temperature, position of throttle position, status of solenoid valve and gear and position of operating lever. Additionally, it can be
used to detect the current and stored problem.

Safety airbag-9
Project 3 functional working (neither possible explosion failure or historical failure).
Table 4.9 indicator lamp’s activities after ignition
2.Failure indication
The alarm lamp will indicate it in case any failure arises. If the external failure is a historical one, the indication will be called off. If
the number of history-accumulated failures is or more than 5, the alarm lamp will keep illuminating albeit no failure emerges. The
case of low power will be excluded.
A displayed or historical failure can but only be reconfigured by the service personnel. An internal failure or impact record can not
be reconfigured, in these cases, SRS-ECU must be replaced.
3.Micro controller-independent alarm lamp illumination
The micro-controller in clear failure status can not work therefore can not control the alarm lamp. In this case, the alarm lamp
will be directly lighted via suitable circuit despite of the micro-controller. As following,
The battery for SRS-ECU fails, the alarm lamp will be continuously lighted through the lamp drive function.
b. No internal working voltage, the alarm lamp keeps illuminating
c. Reconfiguration caused by watchdog’s trigging failure, the alarm lamp flashes.
d. No work of micro-controller, the alarm lamp keeps illuminating
e. Incomplete plugging-in of SRS-ECU connector, the alarm lamp keeps illuminating via shoring bar Next explain the diagnostic
procedure by taking some examples
If the alarm lamp is found keeping illuminating, please test it according to the following procedure even it extinguishes finally.
First test the failure region with the scanner followed by the test in the failure region with the corresponding approaches and
steps.
a If an internal failure or the explosion of safety airbag is scanned, replace the SRS-ECU
b.Troubleshooting Project 2. The number of history- accumulated failures is or more than one and less than 5. (The case of low power is excluded)

NO . Troubleshooting item Description
1 T he warning la mp of safety a irbag
system is not displayed. Safety airbag system warns circuit failure
2 T he warning la mp of safety a irbag
system is light normally. Safety airbag system warns circuit failure or external
failure.
1 Extinguishments of safety airbag system alarm lamp
Test status Safety airbag system warns circuit failure.
Possible causes No voltage (fuse shutoff)
Combined instrument failure
Failure of wiring harness between instrument cluster and ECU unit
Diagnostic procedure
When first carry out failure test, joggle the wiring harness and plug to test whether there is periodical bad contact in the circuit, if
it so, please confirm whether the plug, terminal and wiring harness well connected and in good condition. If it is not any of previous
cases, operate according to the following steps.
Procedure Te s t Operation
Ye s Place the ignition switch in LOCK
position followed by next step
1 Test other wiring harness and instrument cluster
indicator lamp
·place the ignition switch in ON position
·light other alarm and indicator lamps No Test the instrument cluster power-supply
system and grounding s ystem (fuse), then
go to step 5.
Yes Next step
2 Bulb test
Warning:
Incorrect handling with the safety airbag system
units will cause the safety airbag’s improper
release and pretension of safety belt, which will
lead to serene accidents. Please read safety airbag
service warning before handling the safety airbag
units.
·Place the ignition switch in LOCK position。
·shut off accumulator negative line and keep the
status for at least 60 seconds.
·Remove the combined instrument.
Test the connection between the two
corresponding stitches of safety airbag alarm lamp No
