On-Vehicle Inspection

Caution

• Water or foreign material entering the connector can cause a poor connection or corrosion. Be

sure not to allow water or foreign material on the connector when disconnecting.

• Do not damage the terminals.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the air cleaner component. (See 01-13-5 INTAKE AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION[L3 WITH

TC].)

3. Remove the TCM. (See 05-17-25 TCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION[AW6A-EL, AW6AX-EL].)
4. Verify that there is no continuity between the

coupler component terminals B12 and GND or
B13 and GND.

• If there is any malfunction, inspect the coupler

component.

• If the coupler component is normal, perform

an off-vehicle inspection of input/turbine
speed sensor. (See05-17-16 Off-Vehicle
Inspection.)

Note

• Inspect with a tester that can indicate more

than 10 megohms and confirm that the
value is more than 1 megohm.

5. Verify that there is continuity between coupler

component terminals B12 and B13.

• If there is any malfunction, inspect the coupler

component.

• If the coupler component is normal, replace

the input/turbine speed sensor. (See 05-17-17
INPUT/TURBINE SPEED SENSOR
REMOVAL/INSTALLATION[AW6A-EL,
AW6AX-EL].)

6. Install the TCM. (See 05-17-25 TCM REMOVAL/

INSTALLATION[AW6A-EL, AW6AX-EL].)

7. Install the air cleaner component. (See 01-13-5

INTAKE AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/
