Diagnostic procedure

STEP	INSPECTION		ACTION
1	RECORD VEHICLE STATUS WHEN DTC WAS DETECTED TO UTILIZE WITH REPEATABILITY VERIFICATION Note • Recording can be facilitated using the screen capture of the PC function. • Record the freeze frame data/snap shot data.	—	Go to the next step.
2	VERIFY RELATED SERVICE INFORMATION AVAILABILITY • Verify related Service Information availability. • Is any related Service Information available?	Yes	Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available Service Information. • If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
2		No	Go to the next step.
3	INSPECT TCM CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION • Switch the ignition off. • Disconnect the TCM connector. • Inspect for poor connection at TCM terminals 2Z and 2O (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion). • Are terminals normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
3		No	Repair or replace the connector and/or terminal, then go to Step 13.
4	INSPECT RESISTANCE OF SHIFT SOLENOID F CIRCUIT • Inspect for resistance between TCM terminals 2Z and 2O (wiring harness-side). • Is the resistance within 5.0—5.6 ohms?	Yes	Go to the next step.
4		No	Go to Step 7.
5	INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID F CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND • Disconnect the coupler component connector. • Inspect for continuity between TCM terminals (wiring harness-side) and body ground. ― Terminal 2Z and body ground ― Terminal 2O and body ground • Is there continuity?	Yes	Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between the following terminals: • Shift solenoid F terminal B—TCM terminal 2Z • Shift solenoid F terminal A—TCM terminal 2O If there is a common connector: • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to ground. • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part. If there is no common connector: • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to ground. Go to Step 13.
5		No	Go to the next step.
6	INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID F CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND • Inspect for continuity between coupler component terminals (wiring harness-side) and body ground. ― Terminal F and body ground ― Terminal E and body ground • Is there continuity?	Yes	Repair or replace the coupler component, then go to the next step.
6		No	Go to Step 13.
7	INSPECT COUPLER COMPONENT CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION • Switch the ignition off. • Disconnect the coupler component connector. • Inspect for poor connection at coupler component terminals F and E (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion). • Are terminals normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
7		No	Repair or replace the connector and/or terminal, then go to Step 13.
8	INSPECT RESISTANCE OF SHIFT SOLENOID F CIRCUIT • Inspect the resistance between coupler component (transmission case side) terminals F and E. • Is the resistance within 5.0—5.6 ohms? (See SOLENOID VALVE INSPECTION [SJ6A-EL].)	Yes	Go to the next step.
8		No	Go to Step 10.
9	INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID F CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT • Inspect for continuity between TCM terminals and coupler component terminals (wiring harness-side). ― Terminal 2Z and terminal F ― Terminal 2O and terminal E • Is there continuity?	Yes	Go to Step 13.
9		No	Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between the following terminals: • TCM terminal 2Z—Coupler component terminal F • TCM terminal 2O—Coupler component terminal E If there is a common connector: • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open circuit. • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part. If there is no common connector: • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit. Go to Step 13.
10	INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID F CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION • Disconnect the shift solenoid F connector. • Inspect for poor connection at shift solenoid F terminals A and B (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion). • Are terminals normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
10		No	Repair or replace the connector and/or terminal, then go to Step 13.
11	INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID F • Inspect the shift solenoid F. (See SOLENOID VALVE INSPECTION [SJ6A-EL].) • Is the shift solenoid F normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
11		No	Replace the control valve body, then go to Step 13. (See CONTROL VALVE BODY REMOVAL [SJ6A-EL].) (See CONTROL VALVE BODY INSTALLATION [SJ6A-EL].)
12	INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID F CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT • Inspect for continuity between coupler component terminals and shift solenoid F terminals (wiring harness-side). ― Terminal F and terminal B ― Terminal E and terminal A • Is there continuity?	Yes	Go to the next step.
12		No	Repair or replace the coupler component, then go to the next step.
13	VERIFY SAME DTC IS NOT PRESENT • Always reconnect all disconnected connectors. • Clear the DTC using the M-MDS. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DTC INSPECTION [TCM (SJ6A-EL)].) • Perform the following procedure to ensure that the DTC has been resolved: 1. Start the engine. 2. Warm-up the engine and transmission. 3. Drive the vehicle in D position and make sure that the gears shift smoothly from 1GR to 6GR. • Perform the DTC inspection using the M-MDS. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DTC INSPECTION [TCM (SJ6A-EL)].) • Is the same DTC present?	Yes	Replace the TCM, then go to the next step. (See TCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SJ6A-EL].)
13		No	Go to the next step.
14	VERIFY DTC TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLETED • Clear the DTC using the M-MDS. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DTC INSPECTION [TCM (SJ6A-EL)].) • Perform the DTC inspection using the M-MDS. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DTC INSPECTION [TCM (SJ6A-EL)].) • Are any DTCs present?	Yes	Go to the applicable DTC inspection. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DTC TABLE [TCM (SJ6A-EL)].)
14		No	DTC troubleshooting completed.
