Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)

Step

Check

Yes

No

1

CHECK ANY OTHER DTC ON DISPLAY.

Is any other DTC displayed?

Check DTC using
“List of Diagnostic
Trouble Code
(DTC)”. <Ref. to
EN(H4SO
2.0)(diag)-64, List
of Diagnostic Trou-
ble Code (DTC).>

Go to step 2.

2

CHECK INPUT SIGNAL OF ECM.
1) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2) Measure the voltage between ECM and
chassis ground with select lever at “N” and “P”
range.

Connector & terminal

(B135) No. 12 (+) — Chassis ground (

−

):

Is the voltage less than 1 V?

Go to step 3.

Go to step 5.

3

CHECK INPUT SIGNAL OF ECM.
Measure the voltage between ECM and chas-
sis ground with select lever at other than “N”
and “P” range.

Connector & terminal

(B135) No. 12 (+) — Chassis ground (

−

):

Is the voltage more than 10 V? Go to step 4.

Go to step 5.

4

CHECK POOR CONTACT.
Check poor contact in ECM connector.

Is there poor contact in ECM
connector?

Repair the poor
contact in ECM
connector.

Replace the ECM.
<Ref. to FU(H4SO
2.0)-34, Engine
Control Module
(ECM).>

5

CHECK INPUT SIGNAL OF ECM.
Measure the voltage between ECM and chas-
sis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B135) No. 12 (+) — Chassis ground (

−

):

Is the voltage more than 10 V? Repair the battery

short circuit of har-
ness between
ECM and inhibitor
switch connector.

Go to step 6.

6

CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND IN-
HIBITOR SWITCH CONNECTOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connectors from ECM and
inhibitor switch.
3) Measure the resistance of harness
between ECM and inhibitor switch connector.

Connector & terminal

(B135) No. 12 — (T7) No. 7:

Is the resistance less than 1
Ω?

Go to step 7.

Repair the har-
ness and connec-
tor.

NOTE:
In this case, repair
the following item:
• Open circuit of
harness between
ECM and inhibitor
switch connector
• Poor contact in
coupling connector
• Poor contact in
inhibitor switch
connector
• Poor contact in
ECM connector

Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)

7

CHECK INHIBITOR SWITCH GROUND LINE.
Measure the resistance of harness between
inhibitor switch connector and engine ground.

Connector & terminal

(T7) No. 12 — Engine ground:

Is the resistance less than 5
Ω?

Go to step 8.

Repair the open
circuit of harness
between inhibitor
switch connector
and ground line.

NOTE:
In this case, repair
the following item:
• Open circuit of
harness between
inhibitor switch
connector and
ground line

8

CHECK INHIBITOR SWITCH.
Measure the resistance between inhibitor
switch connector receptacle’s terminals with
select lever at “N” and “P” range.

Terminals

(T7) No. 7 — No. 12:

Is the resistance less than 1
Ω?

Go to step 9.

Replace the inhibi-
tor switch. <Ref. to
4AT-51, Inhibitor
Switch.>

9

CHECK SELECT CABLE CONNECTION.

Is there any fault in select
cable connection to inhibitor
switch?

Repair the select
cable connection.
<Ref. to CS-29,
INSPECTION,
Select Cable.>

Replace the ECM.
<Ref. to FU(H4SO
2.0)-34, Engine
Control Module
(ECM).>
