DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

1.PREPARATION BEFORE WORK

If another "DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE" occurs just before, turn ignition switch OFF and wait for at least 10 seconds, then perform the next test.

Diagnosis Procedure

1.CHECK CIRCUIT BETWEEN TCM AND CVT UNIT

1.  Turn ignition switch OFF.
2.  Disconnect TCM connector and CVT unit connector.
4. . Check continuity between TCM harness connector terminal and ground.

Is the inspection result normal? YES >> GO TO 2.

NO >> Repair or replace malfunctioning part.

2.CHECK CVT UNIT TERMINAL CODE ASSEMBLY

Check continuity between CVT unit connector terminal and ground.

Is the inspection result normal? YES >> GO TO 3.

NO >> There is a malfunction of the CVT unit terminal code assembly. Replace the transaxle assembly.

Refer to TM-220, "Removal and Installation".

3.CHECK CVT FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR

Check resistance between CVT unit connector terminals.

Is the inspection result normal? YES >> INSPECTION END

NO >> There is a malfunction of the CVT fluid temperature sensor. Replace the transaxle assembly.

Refer to TM-220, "Removal and Installation".
