Repair Procedures: Inspection
- The DCT system can be more quickly diagnosed for troubles by using the vehicle diagnostic system (KDS). (Refer to "DOUBLE CLUTCH TRANSMISSION SYSTEM DTCS
").
KDS provides the following information.
- Self diagnosis: Inspects and displays diagnostic trouble code (DTC)
- Sensor data: Checks the system input/output value status
- Forced operation: Checks the system operating status
- Additional function: Controls system options, zero point adjustment and other functions
Component inspection
- TCM ground circuit test: Measure resistance between TCM and chassis ground using the backside of TCM harness connector as TCM side check point.
Specification: Below 1Ω
- TCM connector test: Disconnect the TCM connector and visually check the ground terminals on TCM side and harness side for bent pins or poor contact pressure.
- If problem is not found in Steps 1 and 2, the TCM could be faulty. If so, replace the TCM with a new one, and then check the vehicle again. If the vehicle operates properly, then the problem was likely with the TCM.
- The original TCM re-test: Install the original TCM (may be faulty) 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 intermittent problem. If the problem does not occur, the problem was likely with other parts.
