TCM Problem Inspection Procedure
- TEST TCM GROUND CIRCUIT: Measure resistance between TCM and chassis ground using the backside of TCM harness connector as TCM side check point. If the problem is found, repair it.
Specification: Below 1Ω
- TEST TCM CONNECTOR: Disconnect the TCM connector and visually check the ground terminals on TCM side and harness side for bent pins or poor contact pressure. If the problem is found, repair it.
- If any problems are not found in Step 1 and 2, the TCM could be faulty. If so, make sure there are no DTCs before replacing the TCM with a new one, and then check the vehicle again. If DTCs are found, examine this first before replacing TCM.
- RE-TEST THE ORIGINAL TCM: Install the original TCM (with possible fault) into a known-good vehicle and check the vehicle. If the problem occurs again, replace the original TCM with a new one. If problem does not occur, this is an intermittent problem (Refer to "Intermittent Problem Inspection Procedure" in Basic Inspection Procedure).
