Term Definition
Monitor description Description of what TCM monitor is and the failure detection method (purpose and detail of observation)
Applicable diagnostic codes Diagnostic codes
Standard enabling condition Conditions required so that TCM can detect failures.
When all of the required conditions are satisfied, TCM sets diagnostic codes if the observation value exceeds the failure threshold.
Operation order Priority order applied to observation when multiple sensors and components are used for failure detection.
When a sensor is observed, the next sensor or component is not observed until the observation is completed.
Requirement sensor/component The sensor and component used by TCM for failure detection
Operation frequency The number of times that TCM checks failure per driving cycle
"Once per driving cycle" means that TCM detects failure only 1 time during a single driving cycle.
"Consecutive" means that TCM detects failure each time the enabling condition is satisfied.
Period The minimum time period in which consecutive deviation of the observation value must be detected before TCM sets diagnostic codes. The time measurement starts after "standard enabling condition" is satisfied.
Failure threshold If the value is exceeded, TCM concludes that a failure is found and sets diagnostic codes.
MIL operation The timing of MIL illumination after a defect is detected.
"Immediate" means that MIL illuminates at the moment when TCM judges that a failure is found.
"2nd driving cycle" means that MIL illuminates when TCM detects the same failure in the 2nd driving cycle.
Component operation range Normal operation range of the sensor and solenoid under the normal driving condition
Use these ranges as reference.
Do not use them to judge whether the sensor or solenoid has a defect or not.
