  5. Is the resistance near the specified value?

    YES

    1. Go to "Check for Short to Ground in Harness" procedure.

  5. Is the resistance near the specified value?

    YES

    1. Communication line is OK. Check the fault code related to TCM.
    2. Possibility of defective ECM. Temporarily test with a new ECM and check for proper operation.

      If problem is corrected, replace ECM and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
