ADDITIONAL SERVICE WHEN REPLACING TCM
DescriptionINFOID:0000000009464227
Always perform the following items when the TCM is replaced.
SAVING AND WRITING OF TCM DATA• TCM performs accurate control by retrieving data (inher
ent characteristic value) of each solenoid. For this
reason, it is necessary to save data of current TCM in CONSULT before replacing the TCM. After this, the
saved data must be written in new TCM.
Work ProcedureINFOID:0000000009464228
CAUTION:
When replacing TCM together with transaxle assembly, perform “ADDITIONAL SERVICE WHEN
REPLACING TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY”. Refer to TM-283, "Work Procedure"
.

U1000 CAN COMM CIRCUIT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000009464248
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication
line for real-time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent malfunction detection ability.
Many electronic control units are equipped onto a vehi cle, and each control unit shares information and links
with other control units during operation (not independently ). In CAN communication, control units are con-
nected with 2 communication lines (CAN-H line, CAN-L li ne) allowing a high rate of information transmission
with less wiring. Each control unit transmits/recei ves data but selectively reads required data only.
