B TERMINAL CIRCUIT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000003771792
Terminal "2" (B) is constantly supplied with battery power.
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000003771793
CAUTION:
Perform diagnosis under the condition that the engine cannot start by the following procedure.
1. Remove fuel pump fuse.
2. Crank or start the engine (where possible) until the fuel pressure is depleted.
1.CHECK TERMINAL 2 POWER SUPPLY VOLTAGE
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Make sure that starter motor connector F27 terminal 2 connection is clean and tight.
3. Check voltage between starter motor connector F27 terminal 2
and ground.
Is there battery voltage present?
YES >> GO TO 2
NO >> Check harness between battery and starter motor for open circuit.
2.CHECK BATTERY CABLE (VOLTAGE DROP TEST)
1. Shift the transmission into park or neutral.
2. Check voltage between battery positive terminal and starter motor connector F27 terminal 2 while cranking the engine.
Is the voltage drop less than 0.2V?
YES >> GO TO 3

DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR WORKFLOW
Work FlowINFOID:0000000003771803
INTRODUCTION
The TCM receives a signal from the output speed sensor, accelera-
tor pedal position sensor (throttle position sensor) or transmission
range switch. Then provides shift c ontrol or lock-up control via A/T
solenoid valves.
The TCM also communicates with the ECM by means of a signal
sent from sensing elements used wit h the OBD-related parts of the
A/T system for malfunction-diagnostic purposes. The TCM is capa-
ble of diagnosing malfunctioning parts while the ECM can store mal-
functions in its memory.
Input and output signals must always be correct and stable in the
operation of the A/T system. T he 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 an error that occurs intermit-
tently rather than continuously. Most intermittent errors are caused
by poor electric connections or impr oper wiring. In this case, careful
checking of suspected circuits may help prevent the replacement of
good parts.
A visual check only may not find t he cause of the errors. A road test
with CONSULT-III (or GST) or a circuit tester connected should be
performed. Follow the “DETAILED FLOW”.
Before undertaking actual checks, take a few minutes to talk with a
customer who approaches with a driveability complaint. The cus-
tomer can supply good information about such errors, especially
intermittent ones. Find out what symptoms are present and under
what conditions they occur. A “Diagnostic work sheet” as shown on
the example (Refer to TM-6
) should be used.
Start your diagnosis by looking for “conventional” errors first. This will
help troubleshoot driveability errors on an electronically controlled
engine vehicle.
Also check related Service bulletins.
DETAILED FLOW
1.COLLECT THE INFORMATION FROM THE CUSTOMER
Get the detailed information from the customer about the symptom (the condition and the environment when
the incident/malfunction occurred) using diagnosis worksheet. Refer to TM-6, "Diagnostic Work Sheet"
.
>> GO TO 2.
2.CHECK SYMPTOM 1
Check the following items based on the in formation obtained from the customer.
 Fail-safe. Refer to TM-115, "Fail-Safe"
.
 A/T fluid inspection. Refer to TM-179, "Checking the A/T Fluid (ATF)"
.
 Stall test. Refer to TM-186, "Inspection and Judgment"
