DTC P18A6-00: Gear Shift Control Module "A"/"B" (Sub CPU) Ignition Switch On/Start Position Signal Compare Failure; DTC P18A6-62: Gear Shift Control Module "A"/"B" Ignition Switch On/Start Position Signal Compare Failure [11/2021 - ]: Procedure

  1. INSPECT TRANSMISSION FLOOR SHIFT ASSEMBLY (SHIFT CONTROL ECU) (IGR1 TERMINAL VOLTAGE) 

    Pre-procedure1

    1. Disconnect the B77 shift control actuator assembly (shift actuator ECU) connector.
    2. Connect the battery terminal.
    3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

      Procedure1

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

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      B77-5 (IGR1) - Body ground Ignition switch ON 11 to 14 V

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG
      NOTE:

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

      Post-procedure1

    5. Turn the ignition switch off.
    6. Disconnect the battery terminal.
    7. 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 - POWER DISTRIBUTION BOX ASSEMBLY) 

    Pre-procedure1

    1. Disconnect the B77 shift control actuator assembly (shift actuator ECU) connector.
    2. Disconnect the 9E power distribution box assembly connector.

      Procedure1

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

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      9E-13 - B77-5 (IGR1) Always Below 1 Ω
      9E-13 or B77-5 (IGR1) - Body ground and other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

      Post-procedure1

    4. Connect the power distribution box assembly connector.
    5. Connect the shift control actuator assembly (shift actuator ECU) connector.

    Result: 

    OK 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (POWER DISTRIBUTION BOX ASSEMBLY POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT) 

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (SHIFT ACTUATOR ECU - POWER DISTRIBUTION BOX ASSEMBLY)
