DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE PROCEDURES

23Ac-239

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tool:

• MB991502: Scan Tool (MUT-II)

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991502, check data list item 54:
A/T Control Relay Output Voltage.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991502, always turn the
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991502.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991502 to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Set scan tool MB991502 to data reading mode for item 54,

A/T Control Relay Output Voltage.

• The voltage should equal battery positive voltage.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the measured voltage equal battery positive voltage?

YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent.

Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use Troubleshooting/
Inspection Service Points

− How to Cope with

Intermittent Malfunction

P.00-6

.

NO : Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check the A/T control relay.
(1) Remove the A/T control relay (A/T control relay connector

D-13).

(2) Using jumper wires, connect terminal 2 to the negative

battery terminal, and terminal 4 to the positive battery
terminal.

(3) Measure the resistance between terminal 1 and 3 of the A/T

control relay.

• The resistance should measure less than 2 ohms.

• Disconnect the jumper wires. The resistance between

terminals 1 and 3 should measure over limits (open cir-
cuit).

Q: Does the resistance measure less than 2 ohms when the

relay is energized, and open circuit when the relay is de-
energized?
YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Replace the A/T control relay.

STEP 3. Check A/T control relay connector D-13 for loose,
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back
in the connector.
Q: Are the connector and terminals in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Repair or replace the damaged components. Refer to

GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection

.

STEP 4. Measure the supply voltage at A/T control relay
connector D-13.
(1) Disconnect the A/T control relay and measure at the

harness side.

(2) Measure the voltage between terminal 1 and ground.

• The measured voltage should equal battery positive

voltage.

Q: Is the measured voltage equal to battery positive

voltage?
YES : Go to Step 7.
NO : Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check intermediate connector A-03 for loose,
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back
in the connector.
Q: Are the connector and terminals in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO : Repair or replace the damaged components. Refer to

GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection

.

STEP 6. Check the harness for open circuit or short circuit
to ground between A/T control relay connector D-13
terminal 1 and battery.
Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 19.
NO : Repair or replace the harness wire.

STEP 7. Measure the resistance at A/T control relay
connector D-13.
(1) Disconnect the A/T control relay and measure at the

harness side.

(2) Measure the resistance between terminal 2 and ground.

• The resistance should measure less than 2 ohms.

Q: Is the measured resistance less than 2 ohms?

YES : Go to Step 10.
NO : Go to Step 8.

STEP 8. Check ground joint connector D-14 for loose,
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back
in the connector.
Q: Are the connector and terminals in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 9.
NO : Repair or replace the damaged components. Refer to
