SELF DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS
Refer to TM-78, "DTC Index".
IGN Counter
The IGN counter is indicated in Fr eeze frame data (FFD) and indicates the number of times that the ignition
switch is turned ON after returning to the normal state from DTC.
 CAN malfunction
- The number is 0 when a malfunction is detected now.
- The number increases like 1 → 2 → 3...38 → 39 after returning to the normal condition whenever ignition
switch OFF → ON.
- The number is fixed to 39 until the self-di agnosis results are erased if it is over 39.
 Other than CAN malfunction
- The number is 0 when a malfunction is detected now.
- The number increases like 1 → 2 → 3...254 → 255 after returning to the normal condition whenever ignition
switch OFF → ON.
- The number is fixed to255 until the self-diagno sis results are erased if it is over 255.

Fail-Safe
INFOID:0000000006226783
TCM has the electrical fail-safe mode. The mode is divi ded into a maximum of 3 phases (1st fail-safe, 2nd fail-
safe and final fail-safe) and functions so that the operat ion can be continued even if the signal circuit of the
main electronically controll ed input/output parts is damaged.
Even if the electronic circuit is normal, the fail-safe mode may start under special conditions (such as when the
brake pedal is depressed suddenly from a hard wheel spin status to stop the rotation of wheels). In this case,
turn the ignition switch OFF and back to ON after 5 seconds to resume the normal shift pattern.
Consequently, the customer's vehicle may already return to the normal condition. Refer to TM-88, "
Diagnosis

1st Fail-Safe The mode that the vehicle can stop safely, to prompt the driver to stop if the malfunction occurs and to shift to
2nd fail-safe early. It shifts to 2nd fail-safe or final fail-safe after the vehicle stopped.
2nd Fail-Safe The mode that the vehicle shifts to final fail-safe without changing the behavior, by identifying the malfunction-
ing parts in the condition that the driving force required for the driving is secured.
Final Fail-Safe  Selects the shifting pattern that the malfunctioning parts identified at 1st fail-safe and 2nd fail-safe are not
used, and then secure the driving forc e that is required for the driving.
 The mode that the shifting performance does not decrease by normal shift control.

Protection Control
INFOID:0000000006226784
The TCM becomes the protection control status temporar ily to protect the safety when the safety of TCM and
transmission is lost. It automatically returns to the normal status if the safety is secured.
The TCM has the following protection control.

DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR WORK FLOW
Diagnosis FlowINFOID:0000000006226789
1.OBTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT SYMPTOM
1. Refer to TM-89, "
Question sheet" and interview the customer to obtai n the malfunction information (condi-
tions and environment when the malfunction occurred) as much as possible when the customer brings in
the vehicle.
2. Check the following:
- Service history
- Harnesses and connectors malfunction. Refer to GI-40, "
Intermittent Incident".
>> GO TO 2.
2.CHECK DTC
1. Before checking the malfunction, check whether any DTC exists.
2. If DTC exists, perform the following operations.
- Record the DTC and freeze frame data. (Print out t he data using CONSULT-III and affix them to the Work
Order Sheet.)
- Erase DTCs.
- Check the relationship between the cause that is clarified with DTC and the malfunction information
described by the customer. TM-165, "
Symptom Table" is effective.
3. Check the information of related service bulletins and others also.
Do malfunction information and DTC exist?
Malfunction information and DTC exists. >>GO TO 3.
Malfunction information exists, but no DTC. >>GO TO 4.
No malfunction information, but DTC exists. >>GO TO 5.
3.REPRODUCE MALFUNCTION SYMPTOM
Check any malfunction described by a custom er, except those with DTC on the vehicle.
Also investigate whether the symptom is a fail-safe or normal operation. Refer to TM-74, "
Fail-Safe".
When a malfunction symptom is reproduced, t he question sheet is effective. Refer to TM-89, "
Question sheet".
Verify the relationship between the symptom and the condi tions in which the malfunction described by the cus-
tomer occurs.
>> GO TO 5.
4.REPRODUCE MALFUNCTION SYMPTOM
Check the malfunction described by the customer on the vehicle.
Also investigate whether the symptom is a fail-safe or normal operation. Refer to TM-74, "
Fail-Safe".
When a malfunction symptom is reproduced, t he question sheet is effective. Refer to TM-89, "
Question sheet".
Verify the relationship between the symptom and the condi tions in which the malfunction described by the cus-
tomer occurs.
>> GO TO 6.
5.PERFORM “DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE”
Perform “DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE” of the appr opriate DTC to check if DTC is detected again.
Refer to TM-77, "
DTC Inspection Priority Chart" when multiple DTCs are detected, and then determine the
order for performing the diagnosis.
NOTE:
If no DTC is detected, refe r to the freeze frame data.
Is any DTC detected?
YES >> GO TO 7.
NO >> Check according to GI-40, "
Intermittent Incident".

forming the diagnosis based on possible causes and symptoms.
>> GO TO 8.
7.REPAIR OR REPLACE THE MALFUNCTIONING PARTS
Repair or replace the detected malfunctioning parts.
Reconnect parts or connector after repairing or replacing, and then erase DTC if necessary.
>> GO TO 8.
8.FINAL CHECK
Perform “DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE” again to make sure that the repair is correctly performed.
Check that malfunctions are not reproduced when obtai ning the malfunction information from the customer,
referring to the symptom inspection result in step 3 or 4.
Is DTC or malfunction symptom reproduced?
YES-1 >> DTC is reproduced: GO TO 5.
YES-2 >> Malfunction symptom is reproduced: GO TO 6.
NO >> Before delivering the vehicle to the customer, make sure that DTC is erased.
Question sheetINFOID:0000000006226790
DESCRIPTION
There are many operating conditions that may cause a malfunction
of the transmission parts. By understanding those conditions prop-
erly, a quick and exact diagnosis can be achieved.
In general, customers have their own criteria for a problem. There-
fore, it is important to understand the symptom and status well
enough by asking the customer about the concerns carefully. In
order to systemize all the inform ation for the diagnosis, prepare the
question sheet referring to the question points.
