Transmission Control Systems: Service Precautions

General Description
CAUTION
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM "AIRBAG"
The airbag system wiring harness is routed near the TCM.

CAUTION:
- All the airbag system wiring harnesses and connectors are colored yellow. Do not use an electric test equipment to check these circuits.
- Be careful not to damage the airbag system wiring harness when performing diagnostics or servicing the TCM.


MEASUREMENT
When measuring the voltage and resistance of the ECK TCM or each sensor, use a tapered pin with a diameter of less than 0.64 mm (0.025 in) in order to avoid poor contact. Do not insert a pin of more than 0.65 mm (0.026 in) diameter.
