S CONNECTOR CIRCUIT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000005149556
Terminal "1" (S) is the power supply for the starter motor magnetic switch. Terminal 1 is supplied with power
when the ignition switch is turned to the START position while the selector lever is in the P or N position.
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000005149557
Regarding Wiring Diagram information, refer to STR-14, "Wiring Diagram".
CAUTION:
Perform diagnosis under the condi tion that engine cannot start by the following procedure.
1. Remove fuel pump fuse.
2. Crank or start the engine (where possi ble) until the fuel pressure is released.
1.CHECK STARTER MOTOR MAGNETIC SWITCH CIRCUIT
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect starter motor connector F28.
3. Shift transmission into park or neutral.
4. Check voltage between starter motor harness connector F28 terminal 1 and ground with the ignition in START.
Is battery voltage present?
YES >> Magnetic switch circuit is OK. Further inspection necessary. Refer to STR-5, "Work Flow".
NO >> GO TO 2
2.CHECK CONNECTOR
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Check the IPDM E/R harness connector E120 and st arter motor harness connector F28 for damage, bent
pins and loose connections.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 3
NO >> Repair the terminal and connector.
3.CHECK HARNESS CONTI NUITY (OPEN CIRCUIT)
1. Disconnect IPDM E/R connector E120 and starter motor con- nector F28.
2. Check continuity between starter motor harness connector F28
(A) terminal 1 and IPDM E/R harness connector E120 (B) termi-
nal 19.
3. Check continuity between starter motor harness connector F28 (A) terminal 1 and ground.

INTRODUCTION
The TCM receives a signal from the output speed sensor, accelera-
tor pedal position sensor or transmission range switch. Then pro-
vides shift control 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.
