Checking The Control Module
- Ignition off
- Connect the breakout box to the control module
- Disconnect the connector for the speed sensor
- Connect a temporary cable between terminals #A35 and #A57 on the breakout box
- Ignition on
- Read off the status.
Check that the status is "1" when the temporary cable is connected to the terminals above.
Disconnect the cable end that is connected to terminal #A35 and move the cable to terminal #A53.
NOTE:Leave the cable end connected to terminal #A57 (#A57) in place.
Check that the status changes to "0" when the temporary cable has been moved to terminal #A53.
The transmission speed sensor is defective if the status has changed between "1" and "0" as above and no errors have been detected on the cables or terminals in the preceding checks. Replace the transmission speed sensor if this is the case.
The transmission control module (TCM) is defective if the status has not changed between "1" and "0" as above and no errors have been detected on the cables or terminals in the preceding checks. If this is the case replace the control module.
