2.5 Starting System Inoperative /
Malfunctioning
Circuit Description
The battery cable supplies a constant connection from the battery to starter solenoid connector P – 4.
W hen the ignition switch is turned to the START position, 12 V is applied to the ECM connector C – 56 pin 31.
For vehicles with 4 speed automatic transmission, when the transmission is in park (P) or neutral (N), the park / neutral
and back-up switch grounds ECM connector C – 56 pin 32.
The ECM provides a ground for the start relay, ECM connector C – 56 pin 35 to start relay connector X – 13 pin 5.
W hen activated the start relay provides 12 V to starter solenoid connector P – 3 pin 1.
The solenoid closes its switch contacts to connect the battery voltage at the solenoid switch terminal P – 4 terminal B to
the DC motor. The pull-in winding of the solenoid switch is grounded through the DC motor winding and brushes. The
hold-in winding is grounded through the solenoid casing. The DC motor is grounded through the starter motor casing.
Refer to 2.4 W iring Diagram to aid in diagnosis.

NOTE
Charging a battery at higher current rates can
significantly reduce the life of the battery.
Charge Rate Initial Current Maximum Time Required
Slow charge 4 A 24 hours
Fast charge 35 A 2 hours
6 After a few minutes, check the colour and specific gravity of the electrolyte. Refer to 3.3 Hydrometer Test.
7 Monitor the electrolyte temperature while the battery is charging. If the electrolyte temperature reaches 55 °C:
a switch the charging current off,
b allow the battery to cool,
c reduce the charging current, and
d restart charging the battery.
NOTE
For the best results, charge the battery with the
electrolyte and plates at room temperature. An
extremely cold battery may not appear to accept
current for several hours after starting the battery
charger. If the battery does not appear to accept
charge after several hours replace the battery.
8 For slow charging check the voltage and specific gravity each hour or more regularly for fast charging. Stop the charging when there is no change in voltage or electrolyte specific gravity over three checks.
9 If the battery was fast charged connect the battery to a slow-charger for a few hours to bring the battery to the fully charged condition. Ensure the last few hours of charge do not exceed 1 A.
10 Tighten the filler caps. Ensure they are secure.
11 Install the battery in the vehicle. Refer to 4.1 Battery.
4.3 Emergency Jump Starting Procedure
Safety Precautions
• Read and obey the general safety precautions for working with batteries, refer to 2 Safety Precautions.
• Do not allow the vehicles to touch each other during the jump starting procedure.
• Ensure the assisting vehicle battery has the same voltage rating and connects negative to ground. If this is not the
case, serious injury and damage to electrical equipment can result.
• Do not push or tow the vehicle to start it. Damage can result when unburnt fuel reaches the catalytic converter and
ignites.
• Do not start the vehicle using a fast charger.
• W hen using jumper leads, treat both the booster battery and the discharged battery with care.
• Do not allow sparks, flame or smoking near the battery.
• Ensure that metal tools or jumper cables do not simultaneously contact the battery positive terminal and any other
metal part of the vehicle.
Jump Starting Procedure
1 Position the assisting vehicle so the batteries of both vehicles are close together, refer to Figure 6D1-3 – 10.
2 Apply the park brake on both vehicles.
3 Ensure that P (park) is selected for automatic transmission and N (neutral) is selected for manual transmissions.

TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (JR405E) 7A2-25
Scan Tool Data Definitions
This information will assist in driveability problems. The
displays can be viewed while the vehicle is being
driven. Always perform the Diagnostic System Check -
Transmission Controls first. The Diagnostic System
Check will confirm proper system operation.
Accelerator Pedal Position
This parameter displays the angle of the accelerator
pedal as calculated by the engine control module
(ECM) using the signals from the accelerator pedal
position (APP) sensors. This data is sent over the pulse
wave modulation (PWM) signal from the ECM to the
TCM. The scan tool will display linearly from 0 to 100%
according to the pedal operation.
Engine Speed
This parameter displays the rotational speed of the
crankshaft as calculated by the engine control module
(ECM) based on inputs from the crankshaft position
sensor or camshaft position sensor. This data is sent
over the pulse signal from the ECM to the TCM.
AT Input Speed (Automatic Transmission)
This parameter displays the rotational speed of the
reverse & high clutch drum as calculated by the TCM
based on inputs from the input shaft speed (ISS)
sensor.
TCC Slip Speed (Torque Converter Clutch)
This parameter displays the difference between
transmission input shaft speed and the engine speed
(engine speed - input shaft speed). A negative value
indicates that the engine speed is less than the input
shaft speed, deceleration. A positive value indicates
that the engine speed is greater than the input shaft
speed, acceleration. A value of zero indicates that the
engine speed is equal to the input shaft speed, torque
converter clutch (TCC) is applied.
AT Output Speed (Automatic Transmission)
This parameter displays the rotational speed of the
parking gear that is connected to the output shaft as
calculated by the TCM based on inputs from the output
shaft speed (OSS) sensor. Vehicle Speed
This parameter indicates the vehicle speed calculated
by the TCM using the signal from the output shaft
speed sensor. The scan tool will display a low value at
lower vehicle speeds, and a high value at higher
vehicle speeds.
Current Gear
This parameter displays the current gear position
based on the command from the TCM.
Estimated Gear Ratio
This parameter displays the current gear ratio
calculated by the TCM using the signal from the input
shaft speed (ISS) sensor and the output speed sensor
(OSS) sensor.
Transmission Range (TR)
This parameter displays the selector lever position
based on the transmission range (TR) switch inputs.
TR Switch P, R, N, D, 3, 2, L (Transmission Range)
This parameter displays the input state of the
transmission range (TR) switch to the TCM. When the
selector lever is moved to each range, the scan tool
displays On.
PCS Command (Pressure Control Solenoid)
This parameter displays the commanded state of the
pressure control (PC) solenoid valve control circuit. On
indicates the solenoid valve is being energized by the
TCM, allowing line pressure to be low.
Low & Reverse Brake Solenoid Command
This parameter displays the low & reverse brake
solenoid valve control duty ratio based on the
command for the TCM. The scan tool will display a
lower percentage when the low & reverse brake is
controlled to engage (fluid pressure is applied to the
low & reverse brake hydraulic circuits). The scan tool
will display higher percentage when the low & reverse
brake is controlled to disengage (fluid pressure is
drained from the low & reverse brake hydraulic
circuits).
