Control Module: Testing and Inspection

TCM INSPECTION [FN4A-EL]

Caution:
^ The TCM terminal voltages vary with changes in measuring and vehicle conditions. Always carry out a total inspection of the input and output systems, and the TCM to determine the cause of trouble. Otherwise, a mis-diagnosis could occur.

1. Measure the voltage at each terminal.
^ If any incorrect voltage is detected, inspect the related system(s), wiring harnesses and connector(s) referring to the Action column in the terminal voltage table.

Note:
^ Use the ground of terminal 10 and 1P of the TCM when measuring terminal voltage, as an error may occur when connecting the negative circuit tester to ground.

  • β€’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • β€’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • β€’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • β€’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • β€’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
