.

DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION

TCM conducts fault detection by monitoring the volt-
age of each coil for stepper motors.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

• The specified voltage is not applied to each coil

for stepper motors for 0.2 second because of an
open or short circuit.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION

• Continuous

.

MONITOR EXECUTION CONDITIONS
(OTHER MONITOR AND SENSOR)

Other Monitor (There is no temporary DTC stored

in memory for the item monitored below)

• P0741: Abnormality in lockup function

• P0746: Abnormality in hydraulic control system

function

• P0841: Abnormality in line pressure sensor func-

tion

• P0868: Secondary pressure drop

Sensor (The sensor below is determined to be

normal)

DTC SET CONDITIONS

JUDGMENT CRITERIA

• Stepping motor activation command (ON volt-

age): 2.8 volts or less. (0.2 second)

• Stepping motor activation command (OFF volt-

age): More than 2.8 volts. (0.2 second)

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Check the following connector:

• B-125 CVT assembly connector

• C-37 TCM connector

Check the terminals for a contact status problem and internal
short circuit.
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : Repair the defective connector.

STEP 2. Check for open circuit and short to ground in the
wiring harness between the TCM connector and the
stepper motor.

• Between TCM connector (terminal No.40) and body ground

• Between TCM connector (terminal No.41) and body ground

• Between TCM connector (terminal No.51) and body ground

• Between TCM connector (terminal No.52) and body ground

OK: Resistance value is approximately 15

Ω.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Check for open circuit and short to ground in the
wiring harness between TCM and the stepper motor

• Between C-37 TCM connector (terminal No.40) and B-125

CVT assembly connector (terminal No.8)

• Between C-37 TCM connector (terminal No.41) and B-125

CVT assembly connector (terminal No.9)

• Between C-37 TCM connector (terminal No.51) and B-125

CVT assembly connector (terminal No.10)

• Between C-37 TCM connector (terminal No.52) and B-125

CVT assembly connector (terminal No.11)

Check that there is no continuity in both sides of the connectors
and that no short circuit is present between the connectors and
the body ground.
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Replace the valve body assembly.
NO : Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 4. Symptom recheck after erasing diagnostic trouble
code
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Intermittent malfunction
NO : Replace TCM.
