CONSULT-II Function (TCM)

CONSULT-II Function (TCM)
CONSULT-II can display each diagnostic item using the diagnostic test modes shown following.





CAUTION: If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunctions might be detected in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which carries out CAN communication.

After performing SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (WITH CONSULT-II) (AT-49, SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (WITH CONSULT-II). Self-Diagnostic Procedure (With CONSULT-II)
Place check marks for results on the "Diagnostic Worksheet", AT-65, "DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET". Example of Diagnosis Sheet
Reference pages are provide following the items.

NOTICE:
1. The CONSULT-II electrically displays shift timing and lock-up timing (that is, operation timing of each solenoid).
Check for time difference between actual shift timing and the CONSULT-II display. If the difference is noticeable, mechanical parts (except solenoids, sensors, etc.) may be malfunctioning. Check mechanical parts using applicable diagnostic procedures.
2. Shift schedule (which implies gear position) displayed on CONSULT-II and that indicated in Service Manual may differ slightly. This occurs because of the following reasons:
^ Actual shift schedule has more or less tolerance or allowance,
^ Shift schedule indicated in Service Manual refers to the point where shifts start, and
^ Gear position displayed on CONSULT-II indicates the point where shifts are completed.
3. Shift solenoid valve "A" or "B" is displayed on CONSULT-II at the start of shifting. Gear position is displayed upon completion of shifting (which is computed by TCM).
4. Additional CONSULT-II information can be found in the Operation Manual supplied with the CONSULT-II unit.
