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, remedy 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, remedy 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).
