DTC P178A-14: Gear Shift Control Module "B" Wake-up Circuit Short to Ground or Open; DTC P178D-14: Gear Shift Control Module "B" (Sub CPU) Wake-up Circuit Short to Ground or Open [11/2021 - ]: Procedure

  1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (WAKE TERMINAL VOLTAGE) 

    Pre-procedure1

    1. Disconnect the B79 shift control actuator assembly (shift actuator ECU) connector.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
      NOTE:

      Turning the ignition switch to ON with the connector disconnected causes other DTCs to be stored. Clear the DTCs after performing this inspection.

      Procedure1

    3. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      B79-5 (WAKE) - Body ground Ignition switch ON 11 to 14 V

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

      Post-procedure1

    4. Turn the ignition switch off.
    5. Connect the shift control actuator assembly (shift actuator ECU) connector.

    Result: 

    OK 

    REPLACE SHIFT CONTROL ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY (SHIFT ACTUATOR ECU). Refer to  REMOVAL [11/2021 - ] 

    Result: 

    NG 

    See step  2

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SHIFT ACTUATOR ECU - SHIFT CONTROL ECU) 

    Pre-procedure1

    1. Disconnect the B79 shift control actuator assembly (shift actuator ECU) connector.
    2. Disconnect the D39 transmission floor shift assembly (shift control ECU) connector.

      Procedure1

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      B79-5 (WAKE) - D39-5 (WAKE) Always Below 1 Ω
      B79-5 (WAKE) or D39-5 (WAKE) - Body ground and other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

      Post-procedure1

    4. Connect the transmission floor shift assembly (shift control ECU) connector.
    5. Connect the shift control actuator assembly (shift actuator ECU) connector.

    Result: 

    OK 

    REPLACE TRANSMISSION FLOOR SHIFT ASSEMBLY (SHIFT CONTROL ECU). Refer to  REMOVAL [11/2021 - ] 

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
