DTC detecting condition:

Detected when two consecutive driving cycles with fault occur.

Trouble symptom:

Improper idling

CAUTION: Use the check board when measuring the ECM terminal voltage and resistance. Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DO)>GENERAL DESCRIPTION>PREPARATION TOOL>HOW TO USE CHECK BOARD .

NOTE: After the faulty parts are repaired or replaced, perform the final check in Basic Diagnostic Procedure. Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DO)>BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE>PROCEDURE .

CHECK SELECT LEVER ROD .
Check the select lever rod. Ref. to CONTROL SYSTEMS>SELECT LEVER ROD>INSPECTION .

Is there any fault in the select lever rod?

Yes: Repair or adjust the select lever rod. Ref. to CONTROL SYSTEMS>SELECT LEVER ROD . Ref. to CONTROL SYSTEMS>SELECT LEVER .

No: Go to 2.
CHECK INPUT SIGNAL OF ECM .
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2. Place the select lever in "P" range or "N" range.
3. Measure the voltage between ECM connector and engine ground.
  Connector & terminal
  
  (B62) No. 39 (+) - Engine ground (-):
Is the voltage less than 1 V?

Yes: Repair the poor contact of ECM connector.

No: Go to 3.
CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND INHIBITOR SWITCH CONNECTOR (OPEN) .
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Disconnect the connector from ECM.
3. Disconnect the connector from inhibitor switch.
4. Measure the resistance of harness between ECM connector and inhibitor switch connector.
  Connector & terminal
  
  (B62) No. 39 - (T31) No. 4:
  
  (B62) No. 50 - (T31) No. 5:
Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

Yes: Replace the inhibitor switch. Ref. to AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION>INHIBITOR SWITCH .

No: Repair the following item.
- Open circuit in harness between ECM connector and inhibitor switch connector
- Poor contact of coupling connector
- Poor contact of J/C
