Test Mode No. 2 (Verifying Operation Of System Components)

  1. Sensors and switches are activated by diagnostic unit. When TCM receives a signal, a response code is displayed for each input signal. This function checks component operation, wiring and connections in each circuit. If response code is displayed, component and circuit are okay. If response code is not displayed, TCM has not received a signal. Check appropriate component or circuit and repair as necessary.
  2. This test mode is activated by briefly pressing test button on diagnostic unit 2 times, causing LED to rapidly flash. TCM will flash a code indicating receipt of a signal from components.
  3. Activate sensors or switches by operating appropriate component as described in RESPONSE CODE IDENTIFICATION  table. Diagnostic unit LED should display appropriate response code.
NOTE: For optimum results, components should be activated in order given in RESPONSE CODE IDENTIFICATION  table. Components may be tested individually if necessary.
